"We don`t want ads on the TV we spent a lot of money on. There are enough ads crammed down our throats everyday."

"Ads are a plague on every device. So disappointed to have invested so much in android TV products for them to stoop to this level. Does your greed have any limits?"

"Wow Google, an awesome clean TV UI now half taken up by advertising that I cannot remove or customize! My $1000 TV is now an advertising billboard so I assume you`ll be paying me monthly rent for it???"

"Android TV was great until the advertisements showed up on my homescreen without a way to turn them off. Now, instead of viewing my installed apps at the top of the screen, the top 20% of my screen is dedicated to selling me HBOMax and ``staff picks``. It`s ridiculous and pisses me off. Looking to return my TV and find one with out unsolicited advertisements."

"Forced ads take up 30% of the home screen. This is not okay. New users go find a different device to avoid this garbage."

"Adds non removable sponsored section to my Android TV home screen. Shameless abuse of an Android TV system app to deliver unwanted advertising on a product for which I already paid a ton of money."

"The latest update adds a ``Sponsored`` row to the top of the screen that unlike all other rows, cannot be turned off. My TV does not show a toggle at all, but some others appear to have toggle that does not stay in the off position."

"Even with auto-updates turned off you still push ads to my Shields launcher? Are you kidding me? These aren`t devices you subsidized, I paid for these. Who builds ads into a launcher and then tries to pass it off as new features? Complete GARBAGE!"

"Avoid buying any smart TV or projoctor that is run by Android!!!! The sofeware is horrible. The last update had bloatwear. Now my projector shows advertisments for shows on apps I`ve disabled. It will not let me delete apps (Prime video, Ted Talks)."
