Banner ad showing up on home page #563

I just noticed banner ad starts to show up on the home page today. I am using 6.17.633 and "Ad Blocking" is enabled in settings. "Pro Main" blocked the ad content but left a place holder. "Pro Alt" could not block the ad. This happens on both Mi Box and Shield TV.

Pro Main: Screenshot_Pro_Main

Pro Alt: Screenshot_Pro_Alt

Now it doesn't show up anymore. I guess it's just another case of Google experimenting something on the backend.

I see that blank space all the time.

IMO, a blank space is 1000 times better than showing the ad. But yes, it would be better if it was removed entirely.
