    I am seriously thinking of cobbling together a cheap pc just to plug into my TV to watch things like YouTube without the ads.

      I know right. I have Apple TV because it’s awesome and doesn’t have Ads everywhere like Google and fire tv.

      I’m thinking an android tablet with revanced or similar and casting to the tv…

          I’m not sure if it counts as an AD but seems like an AD, many many moons ago (I think when Apple TV+ was introduced), they changed the “home screen” with the apps in your Apple TV to an Apple TV+ one with their content (and some linked from other platforms).

          The apps view still exists but now the “home” button gets you to the Apple TV+ one unless you click it again from there (unless you accidentally scrolled a bit and the button) or double click it to open the menu with the recently opened apps.

            You can change the home button behaviour in the settings to take you to the app view.

        Casting on ReVanced will still have ads, because the ads are baked into the cast feature. The ad removal only works for the app itself.
