Ratings and reviews

Nice before Google shoved irrelevant ads on my screen which I don't want and can't turn off. Back to the Roku player. Because we all know google does what they please and takes forever to acknowledge they screwed up and fix it. Shame I have to run a separate box when what I need is built into the tv. But no freaking 1/3 page ads that seem to be downloading a lot of stuff every time it shows one...there's a progress bar that on my 200MB/s internet is taking 7-8 seconds. Also slowed my tv down A LOT and when I restarted it last night after getting a weird error about 'no network', the tv wouldn't even power back on until I futzed with unplugging it, plugging it back in and holding reset buttons on the back.

I had just bought an Nvidia Shield, gotten used to its UI and really liked it. And then this update happened, adding advertisements for shows I'd never watch on apps I don't have and for which I don't have subscriptions, as well as a discovery tab that only works if you link your Google account. And now I have to uninstall all updates to the launcher every time I start the device just to get rid of this, and I've got to reconfigure the launcher every time too.

Please remove the new “Staff Picks” feature forces ads across the top of my screen. It is annoying and takes up room on my screen. Besides I would never subscribes to the ads or channels offered. I do not need to be reminded by ads on a streaming channel (or program) I will NEVER want. Also it is one more program (or CPU process usage) to slow down my TV while navigating or period. And last but not least it is forced ADS! if there is no ways to remove this feature to the latest update, please instruct how to disable.
