Your home screen will not look like the images shown here. Google got greedy and started pushing advertisements on the top 1/3 of the home screen. Ads contain images not suitable for younger viewers, raunchy advertisements, etc. I just want the launcher that came with the device I purchased. Google got greedy and ruined the Android TV experience.
