I don't even understand the pitch? you have the disc playing, in your hands, your ownership, no buffering, no subscription required. and they're saying....hey do you want a worse experience?

My LG tv just update and now anytime I turn the tv on I have to wait 2 minutes for the default screen to go away. It has ads and app suggestions.

I only use a fire stick and don’t have the original remote. So nothing I can do but wait

Just got the same update. If you can get a remote you can go into settings and turn off the new Home experience.

Mine doesn't do that 🤷‍♂️ Although it doesn't keep bugging me to accept the Google Assistant ToS, which isn't new and I've already done it like three times.

If it's like mine there's an option to return to the old interface

If you lost your remote, you might be able to connect a USB mouse or keyboard to control it.
