Deihmos 147 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) What happened to Google TV? This is something I really want, one device that can do it all but I need cable TV. For now I have an htpc and the roku but one low powered device would be great. Edited August 27, 2014 by Deihmos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Bedwell 9 Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Google TV got scrapped. They started over and are re-branding it Android TV. They have been working with silicondust for use with the HDHomeRun variants for Live TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37009 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 This has to be demoralizing for Microsoft. You spend 5+ years building Xbox One. You tell everyone the device is worth $500 because it will control your whole living room with voice, live tv, online services, games, etc. And then Android TV comes along and matches every single feature at 1/4th the price. What do you do at that point. (Yes with less powerful games, but good enough for many and will have all the games from the play store). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deihmos 147 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 There are so many platforms.. I am not sure how developers keep up. Smarts TVs, amazon fire, roku, android TV, apple TV and the list goes on. Silicondust has an app in the android store. Doubtful that you will be able to record or pause live TV.

I think your spot on there however that is the mistake that microsoft has continually made with its products. This just shows that these sort of products dont require an huge price tag and because of that, they will sell in huge numbers. Personally, I dont think it will be too long before this sort of device becomes the main way in which people access media rather than cable/satellite subscriptions.

JohnnyBe 0 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I'm really looking forward to the release of Android TV! Have they already announced the date? With Fire TV now started in the UK and Germany Google has to bring it before Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37009 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 which is only because we were too late. it doesn't really matter as the sdk is available and the devices will be too soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
