Chromecast with Google TV is now serving full-screen, auto-playing Chicken Tender Wrap ads - eviltoast

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.

    a Chromecast is one of those inputs. And it has been a nice product. The reason people are mad is that they Google changed the product after they bought it significantly.

    and yes. Today the only reasonable good TV is a computer monitor connected to a device I have control over.
