The Code is the Design

           

  Or does it?  

Amazon Fire TV runs on a proprietary Android system that forces you to watch Amazon ads , and there's absolutely no way to customize or disable them . Even if you have the tech skills to install a custom launcher such as the one below, Amazon keeps releasing software updates that blocks them and forces you back into watching the ads. Your only option is to either jailbreak the device and risk losing it altogether, or disable online features and use the device as "dumb" TV with external casting devices. Update Even if you have a Prime subscription, Amazon shows promos and ads before playing movies.   Custom Launcher Read More Remove banner ads from homes screen?
