Google TV - Outside USA experience

by thangcuoi

I installed the Google TV apk on my Android 9 Vodafone TV (Australia) box.

I'm getting recommendations from all streaming services available in Australia, not just the one I have a subscription with.

Shows available on the services I have a subscription show the subscribe button, which takes me to the show page within the corresponding app.

Binge which has contents from HBO are not linked to the app. For example Doom Patrol is showing as Buy Episodes from Google.

Please share your experiences of the new Google TV app on this thread if you are from outside the USA.

For You recommendations worked fine in Canada but I only got content recommendations from Disney+ even though I also had Netflix and Prime Video installed.

It's probably not going to be polished yet, because the Chromecast with Google TV isn't out yet in Australia.

In india there was a loading error on the home page. Only installed apps were showing. Netflix and prime video content was working from watchlist and search.

No support for local streaming services

Hey mate, i think Apps needs to support the integration too so it can work with the interface. Hows Vodafone TV holding up? Can you show me a video please.

Think ill flog the vodaTV, even if i get $25 for it ill put that down as a discount for the new chromecast.

Yeah the vodaTV has a tuner and ethernet but it hasnt seen an update since i bought it and feel a little clunky
