If you count the top-app-row preview as an ad, maybe there are ads. If you move the tv+ app off the top row you don’t see anything by Apple.

There are no app suggestions or notifications on Apple TV (or at least I turned them off about 8 years ago).

I have been happily streaming media off my computer with Apple TV and have never had a single issue with it.

I have Spotify at the top left of the clickable icons and the top row of the screen shows Spotify’s suggestions.

Oh that's interesting, didn't even think about moving it.

Even then though, I'm an on-again/off-again Plus subscriber so I don't even mind it because it often times suggests shows that I might want to subscribe for.

I'm not sure how many Apple TV devices they sell, but I've always viewed it as super underrated, just a clean piece of hardware with great "It Always Works" functionality.
