No, it's smoother than even my brand new Google TV chromecast that it replaced. I replaced the default launcher with something easier for my elderly mother to understand because she kept getting confused with other devices. It's snappy, has all the apps I have needed, and was easy to set up.

To be fair, the super bowl ads are seen as part of the entertainment by many people and the companies generally do go out of their way to make the funniest or cutest ads of the year. Any other time I would fully agree with you.

Sounds like they might have the capability to just network block the device from their router too. At least that's what I do, just in case someone tries to use it.
