Hold the power switch for ~25 seconds with wireless off, and let go. Flick the switch again and it will do a screen test followed with a hard reset of the firmware. After that point all advertisements are completely disabled, I even turned Wireless back on and they remained disabled unless I went into the menu and viewed the offers.
If you have a K4 you just Pay $30 and they will remove it for you.
