It is a problem, my shield tv started having ads on the home page, but I was able to install a new launcher on it to fix that.

Overall having a media player plugged in to a disconnected tv is the way to go. It is easier to replace a chromecast than the whole tv.

What launcher are you using? I haven't found one I really like yet.

I think I am using the wolf launcher. I have it set up pretty minimally. 95% of the time I just use it to launch Jellyfin.

I've been having a seperate media box connected to my TV for decades now, and if I want to get support for newer video encoding protocols (which happens maybe every 8 years or so) I can just change the media box, which is far cheaper than getting a whole new TV just because you need the hardware decoder chip for a newer video encoding.

The dumb part of the TV easilly lasts decades.
