If you have a CCwGTV, you should be using Apps Only mode. Sucks that Google hides this, because I've found that this is the best streaming device for my needs, but they just keep pushing ads like this. Makes me want to do a homebrew chromecast device.
But switching to Apps Only mode is a decent workaround... for now. https://support.google.com/googletv/answer/10070784?hl=en
Damn I wish my firestick had that.
It's not even "apps only" since they still show sponsored shows at the top. Probably only a matter of time before more ads worm their way in.
