EDIT:
So according to this thread, this is a Google related change and not Nvidia?
In which case, similar to the banner issue from a previous update, you can get a different launcher (see comments for FLauncher) to avoid it

So it could get the same update that makes the launcher an ad-riddled cesspit?
How easy are these devices to root and install alternative roms? Are there alternative roms available to install?
I really wish these devices were more like desktop computers. I want the freedom to install anything I want.
What I posted is a generic Android TV box that you can switch launchers and stuff on. The Shield is so popular and is/was the only good STB that they pumped it full of ads, just like any other popular platform.
IDK the modability of it, but it’s gotta be better than what I have currently.
Thanks, I appreciate the response.
