In a new survey available to some, Google TV asks its users if they think the homescreen has too many ads.

    Lmao, there were so many adds I switched to apps only mode ages ago. And they technically still advertise shit at the top, but only 3 things at a time and only pictures (for now?)

    I’ve not actually seen the kind of ads this describes on my Google tv. Wonder if it’s a regional thing and this is only happening on America and maybe some other countries?

    I just get a carousel of recommended content, not the more in your face ads that are referenced.

      Projectivy was the last step to complete my ad-free Nvidia shield. Jellyfin and SmartTube developers are heros!

      I actually still have ada with Twitch, I haven’t found an alternative app yet, but haven’t searched much as I rarely watch Twitch on TV.

    Currently I prefer the shield to the apple TV but if you compare the two… One has ads on the homescreen and the other doesn’t.
