Rightfully so!
I've been running ATV Launcher Pro on the CGTV since it got this garbage layout last year (long before any asinine users left sus comments) did the same thing to my Shields last week.
Free yourselves from this crap!

What gets me is the option to select which services you have so it can customize these recommendations that we're forced to look at on the main screen. I've got Amazon prime, the only other option was Disney+. So I obviously select prime. Every single recommendation on top has been for Disney+ or apple tv.... Well done google, well done.
That's why we're all looking into launchers cuz what they have done to the home screen is just horrible to look at.
Not to be contrarian, but I have no problem with the new UI. I don't love it or hate it. I didn't have strong feelings about the original UI either.

What pisses me off is that arc always wants to go to my tv speakers since the update. Before it was sending everything to my receiver where I have my shield hooked up to.
Damn it’s not even that terrible. What’s been really grinding my gears is the fucking shield freezing up every other 5 minutes for no apparent reason. 2015 nvidia shield pro btw.
Edit: yes keep downvoting. I hate it too. There is an alternative out there. Google isn’t going to change anything. And I doubt nvidia is going to veeer off into it and make their own launcher at any given time soon.
I'm not bothered about it at all. I jump straight into Kodi and I've added Netflix, YouTube and Plex onto Kodi Favourites.
It’s not even worldwide change, only a few countries. Just move to other country (especially third world countries) if you are really concerned. Google is known for only releasing the new stuff to some countries.
I actually like it.. it advertises Services I have. Now and again it'll advertise something on the Play Store that I have no intention of purchasing.. not really a big deal
Of course they are 😂 it's only a banner that doesn't affect anything.
It's really not a big deal people have too much time on there hands 😂 😂 😂
Get a life people!, move on with your lives, Google won't do anything to change that, that's for sure 😒🙄🧐
The new design is much worse. If those banners are intended as helpful recommendations, users who don’t need recommendations should be able to disable them
