Nvidia’s latest GPU drivers can upscale old blurry YouTube videos

I was the same, really pissed off when they made the change. Luckily, it's android, so you can install a custom launcher. I remember I had to play around with adb a bit, but after that, it's smooth sailing. I use FLauncher[0], but there might be something better out there.

Thank you for this link! I, like a moron, kept looking on the play store for something and only saw garbage. Never thought to sideload.

The nagging in the android launcher has got more and more obnoxious recently. Half the time I open an app it asks if I want to "add it to my discover" with the only options being "yes" or "later". Infuriating.

Are you saying this works with a Shield TV?

Yes, I've switched out launcher on my Shield TV to one that only shows a few app buttons. It works fine.

Oh wow, I was put off from getting one because of the ad update a few years ago. If this works well enough I'll probably actually get one now
