Seriously, I wouldn't even bother futzing with adblockers on my Android TV if it was reasonable, but fucking 45 seconds of ads for every 5 minutes of content is just ridiculous. I almost wonder if it was all an experiment to see how much they could get away with...
They probably expiremented an answer to that question and came to find it was: "not enough". So now they become desperate to get out of the reds.
