They are just assumptions that will come to the rest of the Android TV ecosystem. XDA tried to pair it with Shield and Mi Box and they failed.
Google doesn't mention Android TV , they want to present their new hardware as a total new thing, Chromecast with Google TV . Google TV is the new exclusive sauce .
The last 5 years Google locks features and apps on their hardware like Pixel line of hardware and proprietary Nest Hubs under time windows and exclusivity. They transform to Apple hardware model .
The new Android TV launcher is an inferior launcher of Google TV and Assistant too. Google TV is another Google experience of Android TV like Pixel variant is. And I don't like their direction.
The Google TV has the Assistant from the top with better layout and media search presentation. One OS and two different home screens and Assistants 😂 Only Google can fragments their ecosystem.
Google TV is still not available worldwide and they are thinking of discontinuing Android TV remote!?
Another app? Doesnt it make more sense to integrate it into Home app.
Okay, this can be very interesting!
I just hope it has a functional remote app lol
They are also adding a chat function to the app.
Bring the Google TV app to the rest of the world then!
