Samsung's smart TVs made the headlines earlier this week when its privacy policy suggested the sets are capable of listening to private conversations. It caused such a furore that the South Korean tech giant has since issued a blog post clarifying its policy and vehemently denying the claims. But now it faces further problems after users began complaining the TVs have started randomly showing adverts during the middle of movies. Samsung smart TV users have complained their sets have started showing a Pepsi advert while watching movies on the Foxtel, and Plex apps. The advert covers half the screen and disrupts the film. Samsung told MailOnline it is making an investigation into the fault its 'top priority'
