I can answer this, I have a piHole and Chromecast with Google TV The article is mixing up the types of banners seen here. The recommendation hero row is full of recommendations tailored to you based on watch history.

My piHole absolutely blocks the first slot and leaves it with an unsightly blank space, the rest of the content remains.
