Recommendations to install on Shield TV Pro (2019)
https://gitlab.com/etienn01/flauncher Last update was 2 months ago, honestly I've never updated it, has been working fine since I installed it. So didn't find a reason to update.

Buying Shield TV for Kodi/Plex setup?
For the issue with ads on the launcher, I have used "Flauncher" which is a free and open source android tv launcher with no ads or anything. It's really clean. I honestly like it better than both the stock android TV launcher and the Nvidia shield TV launcher. In order to set it as the default launcher follow the steps here.

AndroidTV OS customization - ad blocking?
Change the launcher (e.g. https://gitlab.com/etienn01/flauncher) and set up a DNS based ad blocker on your network (e.g. PiHole) or maybe AdAway on your device itself, though the cleanest install of that requires root access.

Alternate launcher with external storage
I installed Flauncher on my CCWGTV and used the instructions here to set it to my default launcher. It was working well until I got a USB hub to add external storage.

Chromecast with Google TV Launcher
One thing I really like about FLauncher is that it's actively maintained and the developer really tunes in to user suggestions. Here's his GitLab page: https://gitlab.com/etienn01/flauncher . If you scroll down on that page, you'll see his description of methods 1 and 2 above. You can also look at the Issues page where users make suggestions.

Replace newer android home with older, ad free version
a cleaner way to get the old android tv launcher back is to install leanback on fire, which is the pre-android 9 launcher forked & changed to build as a user app. after that just run adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.tvlauncher & reboot to fully disable the default launcher.
