I don’t know what you consider an ad. The Android (or Google?) TV launcher looks like this:
Discover tab is an ad. IIRC, “Apps” also contains ads for applications to spend money on one way or another. The whole area below is an ad. Under your application-specific entries, there’s more ads (something called “popular movies” or so). And no, you can’t change the launcher to start by default as you can with phones. This is on a device sold in the EU.
This is both on the TV itself and on an added Android TV box that I have; neither allow removing the ads fully or changing the default launcher. Same problem but different ecosystem with the fire sticks.
If there was no other way, I’d attach a shield to it and forget about the “smart” of my tv
I bought the Android TV box for AV1 support, does the shield feature that?

No, AV1 being the video codec. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AV1
My box is actually certified and should play 4k Netflix. Am not subscribed though, bit it does for Amazon Prime Video.
