SmartTube for Android TV gives you adblock and sponsorblock

This app is unavaliable on my TV

Use Downloader by AFTVNews to download and install it, I guarantee it's worth the ~5 minutes of effort it takes to do and AFTVNews Downloader is safe. I don't know how anyone watches Youtube without ad block and sponsorblock these days, haha.

Its not an app you can install via appstore. You need to download the apk and install it.
