#12The way to combat this is not to buy products that have this and then complain about them. The companies that make them do not care, they have already gotten your money. The way to combat this is to not buy products that have this in the first place. edit: a lot of comments are saying that the ads were added later, after purchase. This doesn't change my opinion at all, because people still bought products that have t…

To quote one review verbatim:
> I purchased two premium-priced Nvidia Shield TV's and loved them until yesterday. That was the day Google began forcing huge dominating ads on the home screen. These ads are for content in services that I haven't eve subscribed to or installed, they're totally irrelevant and obnoxious, and there is no way to disable them. It's offensive to force ads like this in a premium-priced product well after the return window is over. It's a bait-and-switch and I can only hope they realize this and make it right with the users.

#15In the future, maybe the only choice is no-brand Android TV box/ stick which has ads removed.

How do you propose people don’t buy products that have ads added to them in the future?
There is zero way any of the three televisions in my house will have ads added to them unless someone physically comes into my home and replaces the television sets.

I’d love to buy a “dumb” tv. How do I do that?
Re: Reviews of Android TV launcher after Google added ads to the homescreen
#19Android TV is a surprisingly bad system anyway. Barely apps, I can access maybe 100 games from my TV. The far majority absolute, and filled, trash games. I suddenly found myself locked out of thousands of things I used to watch because the browser, if even enable-able, sucks and so many sites/services have no interest in having an app. Owning a TV still feels like a step down for me, since I was used just streaming o…
