Philips Ambilight 50PUS8500 - TITAN OS TERRIBLE

Hi all,

I recently bought a Philips Ambilight 50PUS8500 primarily because I love the ambilight so much. However I have a few issues.....

It feels less like a TV and more of a dodgy link that takes you to a variety of pop ups... The TV has hundreds of random apps that I cant seem to remove? Things like French news, Games, a million other random streaming services I've never heard of nor do I want.

There is so much shit on the TV its so slow to load, and because of this when I start the TV it loads, and reloads and then opens up the "featured" full screen thing (essentially ads) after 5-10 seconds of inactivity - often for apps like disney I dont even use.

On top of this I cant seem to remove any and I seem to have lost the app store? I was using Apple TV last week which I downloaded from the app store, now I cant access the store or find apply TV.

When I open netflix, it brings the accounts up but I cant select any, like the app crashes but I can still navigate out of the app. The only way to resolve this seem to be doing a full power cycle at the wall.

The UI and Titan sucks, asides from just using a Fire TV stick, is there anyway to resolve this?
