#223Is there any reason I need this if I already have a Roku?

#225It makes me wonder if there is anyone working at Google who understands what the term "value added" even means.
Maybe they should just buy Roku and crap on that. After all Roku is moving into an analytics for sale company away from a streaming company. Why? Because everyone wants to be a portal but they can't afford to be with the studios demanding extortionate sums for their content. So instead of getting money for bringing you the content (because they have to pass on more than they can afford to the content owner) they sell their observation of people watching content to people who want to make content that people watch which is "their data" because it happened on "their device."
It makes me physically ill sometimes with how messed up this whole system came to be.

#226Earlier 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.

Google TV is a launcher for Android TV, so far as I can tell. Android TV is not being rebranded, as it is the OS - but Google TV is the "Google Experience" on Android TV. To make this more complicated/interesting - Google renamed the Play Movies and TV app to "Google TV." I'm guessing so you can have Google TV on Google TV? Will the Play Movies app on my existing Android TV open the Google TV launcher like shown off…

#230Goodness 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.
