Chromecast with Google TV is now serving some users with full-screen, auto-playing video ads for physical goods on the home screen. Read on!

Reddit users thevincentasteroid and MMD3_ posted about an auto-playing video ad (with sound) on the home screen. The ad is for Chicken Tender Wraps from Carl’s Jr. When it begins auto-playing, it pushes all the other UI elements out of focus and goes almost full-screen, returning to the home screen after it has played through once.

    Or get a decent TV?

    My LG oled has options to disable ads, and I never see ads when using the apps or the menu that launches them.

    I still have a PC connected to the TV, but many of the TV’s apps do a good job.
