It’s one thing to show recommendations from apps and services I have. But this latest update to the home screen is just ads. The fact that there isn’t a way to disable it is even worse. Adding on to the problem is that some of the ads play video with sound! I did not buy a tv to have advertisements on the Home Screen. Come on Google and do the right thing. Either get rid of the new ads at the top of the screen or give us the option to turn them off.

Ditto. Before the latest release the took over the top bar with ads, this launcher was good. Smooth, clean, responsive, intuitive. With the addition of all the ads for content NOT appropriate for my kids to even see ads for! I have FIRED this app and replaced it with the ATV launcher paid version. It's not as featureful, but it's clean and orderly and OMG NO ADs! Google... well you're money grubbing bastards so I suppose I can't expect more. But NVidia! Really? I'm paying a premium for your Shield device why do this to me?!

Android TV started adding ads to the home page that can't be removed/hidden/moved. Wished I didn't pay so much for a TV that was just going to start having ads forced on my menus within a few months. I don't care if an app wants to promote their content on that specific app's row, but this is just additional google ads placed at the top of the home screen. Doesn't matter how clean/pretty it looks, this is just a bait&switch after having already paid a lot for the product.
