Chromecast with Google TV is now serving full-screen, auto-playing Chicken Tender Wrap ads - eviltoast
Chromecast with Google TV is now serving some users with full-screen, auto-playing video ads for physical goods on the home screen. Read on!

Reddit users thevincentasteroid and MMD3_ posted about an auto-playing video ad (with sound) on the home screen. The ad is for Chicken Tender Wraps from Carl’s Jr. When it begins auto-playing, it pushes all the other UI elements out of focus and goes almost full-screen, returning to the home screen after it has played through once.

    I’m still on an early gen Chromecast and never see any adverts. Very occasionally crashes (once a fortnight).
