Ad-supported TVs: The Future of Streaming?

Ilya Pozin, co-founder of Pluto TV, is reportedly working on a new company called Teevee Corporation that plans to give away free ad-supported TVs with a second built-in screen dedicated solely to ads and a soundbar. The TV will not be a smart TV and will bundle in existing streaming dongles. The built-in screen will display ads and various widgets that show the weather, news headlines, and sports scores. The Teevee site states that something is "coming later this year."
