Manage or hide ads and personalized content recommendations on the Home menu of your TV

    Google now displays Content Highlights and Ads on your home screen prior to making a content or input selection. 

    On the home screen, you'll see suggested movies, shows, and quick trailers to help you discover something new to watch as well as non-media ads.
