Last year, the NVIDIA Shield TV, a $200 device if you get the Pro version, received an update to Android TV that forced a new UI for the homescreen that injects ads from a variety of premium streaming services [1]. There is no easy way to disable it as far as I know other than installing a custom launcher such as FLauncher [2]. The cancers of modern day advertising cannot be understated.
