Instead of requiring three major platform updates, Google will only require two going forward. As an example, if Nvidia were to launch a new device on Android 10, it would have to be updated at least to Android 12 before being abandoned.

Well that is poop.

Pilot homescreen and instream ads

Noooooooooooooooo 😱

I hope it's good. ATV seems to be neglected a lot.

Mi box pie coming in 2021 just behind the android 11 release.

Sounds like Google is trying to enforce a tougher planned obsolescence model to boost profits, taking a page from the Apple playbook..?

Lame, unless Nvidia supports it as well as they have the shield already, then I'm done with new AndroidTV devices as well. They've already made it impossible for me to buy a new device, being I refuse to buy any neutered handset, especially those lacking removable batteries.

Been hearing about new hardware forever. Someone release something already from a reputable brand that has proper netflix drm. Love my Shield but would like to see a refresh.

Still need an ADT-2 for my collection, now this!

I'm expecting Google to add more advertising to entice hardware vendors on to the Android TV platform, just like we have recently seen with increased in your face Adverts with YouTube.
