NOT YOUR TV ANYMORE. The recent update puts ads on the home screen (and you can't take them off). These ads push Google recommended Pro-Black and Pro-Gay shows from apps you may not have. Each time I put on the TV I have to be reminded of Google's Woke agenda and it makes me sick.
I never had an issue with this until now. The ads are too intrusive and is ruining the viewing experience. I wouldn't have commented or rated this but now it's just too much and too annoying to go on without saying something.
I detest unsolicited advertisements. Seems you added these now with the most recent update of the Android TV Home service. You call them "staff picks" or "highlights" which happen to block half of the usable UI, yet I call them what they really are, ads. I get that you need to peddle content to users for revenue, but deploying this "feature" without providing an option to actually disable it, I find that move more than deplorable. Please do the right thing and give users the option to to disable your new "feature" ... *Annoyed Android TV User*
I just spent $1,200 on a TV specifically because I liked the UI and it didn't show me ads I don't want to see. The latest Android TV update changes everything for the worse by adding "highlights", which are giant ads for horrible things I have no interest in, front and center at the top of my TV home screen. Let us turn these ads off, PLEASE.
The problem isn't so much that there are ads. All streaming platforms have them. The problem is, they are up top on the home screen and take up at least a third of the screen. Shouldn't my streaming box/stick open to something more like a continue watching type thing? If I wanted to discover new stuff to watch, then I could go to that section and find something, but don't shove it down my throat Google. I still love my Shield TV, but I won't be recommending it to people any longer. I guess I'll just start using WebOS apps on my LG TV instead.
I bought an android TV device specifically to avoid the advertising-infested interfaces presented by the likes of Fire TV. Until recently, I was able to have exactly that: a home screen with what I choose to put on it, nothing more, nothing less. Imagine my dismay when, after the latest update, I'm presented with--you guessed it--advertising that takes up a huge amount of screen space and cannot be turned off, unlike every other element of the home screen. The screenshot currently shown in the store page is not at all representative of the home screen as it stands today. This is a scummy, underhanded move.
Too much space used to advertise stuff that is both of no interest and too often utterly age inappropriate for the time of day. It's rubbish.
