Lots of applications will install from your computer via the play store.

Both ES Explorer and Retroarch (as well as others) will install perfectly via the play store. Just find your game/app on the play store, click install, and choose your AndroidTV device. Have only tested with the ADT1.

They will show up under chainfire sideload launcher http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/10/23/chainfires-sideload-launcher-lets-android-tv-users-easily-start-sideloaded-apps/

Haystack TV, the cordcutter service for news junkies, is available for Android TV!

We’re proud to announce that Haystack TV has been chosen as a launch partner for Android TV. The app is now live and available on your Nexus Player or other Android TV via Google Play. If you have a Chromecast you can also stream to your TV from your Android phone or tablet and also from your iPad.

Haystack TV lets you watch headlines news from multiple sources. We built the app because we were frustrated by the lack of news choices we had after cutting our cable subscriptions. In addition to current events you can watch the latest in science and technology, business, sports, entertainment, or even late night talk shows.

By the way, Haystack TV was conceptualized because of feedback from the Reddit community so thank you!

Read more about the release at the Haystack TV blog.

App Folder From Nexus Player Factory Image (xpost /r/androiddev)

I was able to get the app folder form the factory image. I have been trying to figure out how to install some of them on my ADT-1, but I can't figure it out. So, I was hoping one of you would be able to work some magic to allow them to be installed. More specifically, Music2Pano, which is Play Music.

Here is the app folder (on Google Drive)

Hope Logitech Makes an AndroidTV Device; I'm Not Sold on the Nexus Player

Long-time GoogleTV user here...I'm seriously hoping by CES 2015 Logitech releases an AndroidTV standalone set top box similar to the Revue, with supported HDMI Pass-Through.

As GoogleTV set top boxes go...the Revue was a game changer, and one of the best devices released (their keyboard is the single best mini keyboard I've ever used). Unfortunately, Logitech lost a lot of money on this device, so I'd wager they would be wary to re-enter the Android set top box ecosystem.

With that said, my Logitech Revue isn't getting any younger and I fear one day will fail to boot.

I nearly jumped on the Nexus Player...but the lack of ethernet support (c'mon Asus) and HDMI Pass-Through leaves me waiting patiently for a superior alternative.

Sony Internet Player NSZ-GS7 upgrade to Android TV?

anyone know if there will be an upgrade for the Sony Internet Player NSZ-GS7 to android tv?

Really hope so! This thing was a lemon since day 1, my computer and console could do anything it could do better and faster. So I'm not exactly motivated to spend 99$ on a new platform (tv and movies app was main reason I wanted it originally too and didn't work in canada!)

Any news if it will get the update? legit or by hacking it?
