I can see them doing that, I use a DNS ad-block (Adguardhome) with plenty of filters and last night, I spotted that they were able to inject two ads (standard one to the right of the channels and one at the bottom below the menu for the new Minecraft movie when they changed my background. So, they are finding ways around this stuff. I simply disabled the Sponsored themes. We are on the fence about replacing the TV later this year but not 100% sure just yet. It’s been quite buggy randomly rebooting when switching sources and other things.

FWIW AndroidTV is getting worse all the time also 😭 The only assurance we have is that the TV isn’t connected and AndroidTV is in a separate box.

In what way is it getting worse? I was hoping to move and use some patched apps and foss apps, is that being restricted?

Mostly the ads on the homeacreen for now. I assume it’ll grow beyond that soon. It’s made by the makers of YT after all.

You dropped this. 😀
Back on topic, anyone have a rec for an alternative? I basically just need Netflix and Jellyfin, and hopefully I won’t need Netflix soon (my SO keeps finding NF originals they must watch). I to use a regular remote, but AFAIK nothing provides a nice UX for Netflix w/ controller outside the official app.

Minus Netflix? Kodi.
With Netflix? You’re not finding anything 100% FOSS.

I’m fine running DRM, I just want control over the OS and have a remote work.

Why aren’t you just using Kodi?
