Yeah, because everyone is asking for that. They will force ads into everything they can, because Google is an Ad company.

    People in this thread said their Nvidia shield has ads too now. I guess costing a lot more doesn’t guarantee the device won’t be updated in the future to include ads.

    As for apple tv, is it usable in a household that’s primarily use Android? Can you cast stuff from Android apps to it? Or is it only supports airplay from apple devices?

        So, the price of the hardware is not an indication whether the device will have ads or not later down the line? Even if you spent your money on the top of the line models it’ll eventually got ads if it’s running Google TV OS?

            I’m pretty sure OEMs pay Google for including Play Store in their device, and they still decided to show ads. My Chromecast with Google TV shows no ads at the moment, not sure if it’s due to using Adguard in my home network or if Google simply hasn’t roll out ads in my country yet.
