If you can not install anything, your only choice is probably to set up a pihole or something similar on your network.
Edit: Some models seem to have advanced settings, where you can change the DNS - you could try to use adguard dns servers, or any DNS adblocker you want to use.
I already have, but piHole doesn't block YouTube ads.
Weird how people are saying it should work, lol. Blocking YouTube ads with pihole most definitely does not work. Cannot work even, it's just how YouTube works.
I'm afraid that using something like a googletv stick (or nvidia shield etc) and installing smarttube is your best bet.
Yupp that works well with CCWGTV for now.
Probably a smoother experience than the built in OS too. Hoping for a new Shield with the upcomming Switch so I can leave yet another Google product behind
