What? No not at all. Its the hub that can work with your existing devices. It compliments Android TV.

The advantage of Amazon Echo and Google Home is that it is always on and you can use it from anywhere. It doesn't require leaving your TV on all the time. It doesn't require the Android TV box have a far-field microphone or separate speaker.

Now, it would be disappointing if you can't use the same voice commands with voice remote or with phone.

Your insecure about your tech if you think they said fuck you. Not everyone wants to carry their shield around the house. Let me take my Shield into the kitchen to get a recipe? Lol.

My Android TV is usually on all the time but my remote is MIA. I can't wait to say, "OK Google, play Ant Man on the TV."

So I would need to buy an android tv for a room that doesn't even have a TV? Seems like a dumb idea when you can just have separate devices.
