Why are there such idiotic smart TVs that can't even turn off bluetooth?!

There are at least two such devices in my apartment block and my bluetooth audio transmitter always tries to connect to them instead of my headphones. I have already talked to the people owning those TVs and we tried to disable BT, but it just isn't possible. This is driving me insane!

I actually had the reverse problem: some stupid neighbor kept trying to pair something with my smart TV, to the point where I couldn't watch TV at times, due to this moron's insistence. I looked in the settings and also found I couldn't disable Bluetooth, or blacklist devices, so I thought of a simple solution: changing the TV name to "virus". From that day on, no one tried to pair anything with my TV.

I feel stupid for never having looked into changing Bluetooth device names but it's clearly not easy or I'd be naming all the Bluetooth shit I own crazy stuff.

I've not yet met a device whose Bluetooth name i couldn't change. Just Google, "How do I change the Bluetooth name on "x device"?", and substitute, "x device", with the manufacturer, make, and model of the device whose Bluetooth name you want to change. I believe in you.
