A new advertising campaign from Google will likely bring more ads to users of Google TV and Android TV Boxes that are increasingly popular among cord-cutters and streamers. According to a blog post from Google, they are officially launching the “Google TV Network” that will focus on bringing more ads to the live streaming channels…
Yay just what we all need,more ads…
Guess Google will then offer to take the ads of for a fee
Okay I hate Ads that is why I don’t record anything Live and watch all my VOD Ad Free on KODI. I don’t even want to Fast Forward through Ads…BUT when I power my ONN box on I’m barely at the home screen long enough to care or let an Ad bother me. I’m into my IPTV App or KODI in 5 seconds. and nobody here is watching the Live TV or Tubi, Samsung +, Chive BS crap, etc… out there anyway. That’s all Shite!
good way to cut there sales
I’m with @MarkxG on this one. I have never understood all this ad fuss. I get up, fire up my system and by the time I’m sipping my coffee my Shield is running and TiViMate has auto started. I choose my channel and I’m watching live TV, commercials and all. I have a look at upcoming sports programs and start setting up my reminders or recordings for the day. Later in the day I might fire up Stremio to watch a recommended movie or TV Series and oh ya, AD FREE. My VPN has an ad blocker that simply put, is annoying as hell. Damn thing blocks so many sites that I’m trying to surf to, for info, that I’m having to constantly go into the settings and turn it off. Then I surf to the site and don’t notice any “ads” as I just surf to the info I’m interested in. I guess I just have a thick skin and can easily ignore things that seem to irritate others. Commercial TV hasn’t changed much since my first B & W TV and we actually use to get a kick out of some of the commercials. “Where’s The Beef”? Remember that? Ok rant over.
the only thing i find hard to believe is @Miki sipping coffee
Maybe it is premature,but Google has the option of disabling launchers,and forcing those ads down our throats.That remains to be seen,but the way it’s going I won’t be surprised.Pretty soon ads will be playing in our dreams lol
I don’t use launchers. Tivimate allows me to set it to start on boot, bypassing my home screen. Well the home screen does show for about 3 to 4 seconds, but that’s it.
Onn 4k and Onn 4k pro have a “apps only mode” that eliminates all the busyness on the home page. Only problem I have found is with the pro the apps only mode elimites the voice option. That doesnt bother me because the remote is permanently attached to my hand anyway.
I’m with @Miki on this. I don’t sit on the homepage very long. I go straight to either my IPTV program or my stremio program and start streaming. I don’t need to stare at no homepage, no picture, no nothing of that nature. If I want to do that I’ll watch the series Ariel america.
I use other apps besides tvmate,such as stremio,smartube,so I am on the home screen more often.But hey when they figure out a way to slam you with ads in the future,don’t say I didn’t warn you lol.
All these companies are in the ad biz and they will never stop trying to force feeding them. I read an article recently that roku was working on hdmi ad injection. So it never stops so when you bypass the launcher screen, no problem…heresssssss Johnny
to be honest some of the adds are better than the programes
Ya but ads literally don’t bother me. It’s like complaining the sun rises. Can’t stop it and as it’s a part of life, it doesn’t bother me. Speaking of which. Good morning all you wonderful insiders.
lol thats because your always sipping coffee
ps and a very good morning to you
100% Agree @Miki. Power on device and I’m in my IPTV service or KODI in mere seconds. And the New ONN 4K makes it even faster with the button you can program to go right to an App. Although I will say if the day ever comes I can’t circumvent Ads on YouTube then I’ll be pissed. But all good for now
Ok I got my cofee so what we gonna do, huhu?huh?huh cmon lets talk what’s happenin? Lets go. What’s the topic for today oh ya ads, bummer. Did I mention I’m ADHD?
what ever coffee you have i want some
but seriousely people like you make this site the place to be
