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!

Some TV remotes are now using bluetooth instead of IR, so yeah you can't turn that off without locking yourself out..

    I'm pretty sure the S-Pen uses some form of low frequency induction. It works for such a use case due to the immediate proximity of the devices, while a TV remote would likely be too far away.
