Is there an easy way to remove the "ad bar'?

by mcrib

Since the latest update i now have a Fire TV style ad section at the top, suggesting a bunch of shit I would never watch and other shit on services I do not have. I thought on the Home Screen settings there would be a toggle to turn this off, but I guess Gougele is getting ad revenue for this?

Am I stuck with this or what

Best way is either using a third party launcher, or rolling back to an older version. This thread had a good way to do it: https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/comments/o6d9xx/any_idea_which_version_of_android_tv_home_allows

Settings >> apps >> show all apps >> show system apps >> Google Play Services

Force stop, clear cache and disable. So far nonside effects and the bar is gone.
