Reddit users thevincentasteroid and MMD3_ posted about an auto-playing video ad (with sound) on the home screen. The ad is for Chicken Tender Wraps from Carl’s Jr. When it begins auto-playing, it pushes all the other UI elements out of focus and goes almost full-screen, returning to the home screen after it has played through once.
A single apple TV is like $80 more than Google TV devices to do the same thing. I don’t like the ads and they irritate me, but I have 4 TVs with streaming boxes (so I don’t have to replace the screens. I’m not paying an extra $360 just to not have ads on the home screen.
It’s just a situation where I’m not really okay with either option.
