Yet another Google product that will be abandoned within 2 years. Don't buy the hype.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
My Nvidia Shield TV from 2015 is still doing great
That's the crapshoot, isn't it. Would you have been able to know in 2015 that the Nvidia product was going to be supported, but the Logitech one would be abandoned? Real question actually. I doubt it, but that's a weakly held opinion.
And as much as people love bringing up Google deprecating stuff, I still trust them far more on updating this than any outside company.
Goodness me, this is an exemplary example of the type of website that I just cannot abide. Style over content, and the presentation just plain getting in the way of the information, to the point that the user ends up leaving rather than finding out what the site is attempting to convey. Awful. Just awful.
Oh Google. So this is a reskin and rebrand of Android TV, launching for the first time on the new "Chromecast with Google TV". Not to be confused with a different Google TV from 10 years ago. It's unclear if they are sunsetting Android TV or supporting 2 branches of Android based TV interfaces. Side note, I have a TV with Android TV and it is chock-full-o-bugs. Only in the Google-verse.
I owned the Logitech Google TV which I bought for about $300 early in its lifespan. After about a year they shipped some really bad updates to it that made it so slow that it was essentially unuseable and removed several key features, and then never shipped another update to it again. Logitech and Google both lost interest in it and after not long all of the apps like Netflix and even Google's own Youtube stopped wor…
As far as I understand, a second generation Apple TV can't even play Youtube videos.
We need to reward companies that keep things alive for longer. I got an iPhone recently (over a somewhat cheaper Android) precisely because Apple provides OS updates for longer than any other smartphone maker. Sometimes over 5 years.
Especially as tech products have started to somewhat plateau in functionality, I value longevity over features or performance.
Almost a 1:1 copy of the Apple TV app just with a worse copy of website https://www.apple.com/apple-tv-app , not new but ever so disappointing Google adds so little new to ideas they decide to adopt
Apple's website scrolls much more smoothly for me as well (although that might be since I'm using Safari).

Why the Google hate in this case? I'm in love with my chromecast I've had for the past 6 years with no issues, and this seems like a great upgrade for less than I paid.
* Google TV (A different product to this Google TV) * Nexus Q * Android TV * Youtube TV * Probably 10 other things that started and shut down without anyone noticing.
This might be the wrong place to complain about this issue. But "smart" TVs need to be replaced with "dumb TV + set top box" bundles. As it is now, the best panels are obsolete after a year.
Gotta disagree with this, I'm very happy with the integrated Roku in my TCL TV. And the TV still has HDMI ports, so I don't see how it's obsolete if I ever want to stop using the Roku.
Since the panel is expensive and the brains are cheap, it makes more sense to have them split.
