I want my smart Android TV to be dumb again (www.androidauthority.com)

Smart TVs are all well and good, but when ad-focused update lobotomized my new-ish Android TV, we hit a problem.

I recently bought a TCL google tv and first thing I did was install smarttube and a different launcher.

That being said the first question in the setup proces was if I wanted the "smart" functions on or just have a basic experience and only use HDMI and cable tv.

But the ads on the home screen with Google tv are really annoying. They are front and centered. I want my apps and inputs where the ad's are.
