What apps do you miss? I just wish more of the plethora of streaming apps I have available to me integrated with global search.

1. A decent keyboard with multi language support.
2. Make Google Chrome supports tv instead of sideloading it.

Amazon video

There aren't really applications I miss, but I do miss up to date applications. The YouTube app hasn't been updated in nearly a year (and no sign of YouTube TV), the Hulu app is missing features. My Nvidia Shield is getting Google Assistant... eventually ("early 2017").

Also, I have Chrome sideloaded but it's not perfect. I'd love it is they actually released a real Android TV version.

Not an app I miss, but I wish Hulu would update the ATV app to support profiles. They updated the phone app with them, so it couldn't be that hard to port that to their ATV version.

I am talking about native support for all of these. Having to side load or workaround is not the same as native support.

Google Apps, no excuse for not having support IMO:
Google Photos
Google Drive
YouTube Kids
YouTube TV
YouTube Music
YouTube Gaming
Hangouts or Duo (with ability to add web cam)

Third Party:
Vudu (Exception Nvidia Shield)
Amazon Video (Exception Nvidia Shield)
NBC Sports
NHL.tv
AMC
MaxGo
FilmStruck
Shudder
IndieFlix
Movie of the Day! (20th Century Fox)

I can't think of any since i just mainly use it for streaming sling, pluto tv, castingand kodi.

Like /u/apot1, I miss all of the streaming apps that are available on Android but not on Android TV. Canadian providers are particularly bad for this.

Uh...Nothing. I can't think of anything I want to watch that I can't

A decent browser

Directv Now. Best channel selection among the sub $50 streaming plans, but the only one without Android TV app. Sling is the second best IMO, but it doesn't have Discovery Channel, which is a deal breaker for me.

Prime Video and BBC iPlayer. BBC iPlayer is only available via Chromecast, which is strange as they have previously been quite quick to support new platforms.

Prime Video probably won't come to any affordable platforms that compete with Amazon Fire TV any time soon, but I'd like to be proved wrong.

I wish there were a decent file manager that seemed to be designed around Android TV interface.

Dropbox. I wish I could get Dropbox syncing similar to the way it works on a PC or Mac.

Various games.

Pocket Casts -- it would be nice to have my podcasts on the TV, and syncing progress with my phone.

Chrome.

Feedly.

NBC Sports, Big Ten Network, Nick Jr.

MX player and the ability to push video playback to it from Plex. My server isn't powerful enough to really transcode, so it'd be nice to utilize software acceleration in MX for playback. Plus zoom in to remove the black bars sometimes. Can't believe Plex doesn't do that.

• The ability to finally add unofficial channels to the Shield TV Plex server.
• A speedtest app that is actually designed for the Android TV interface.
• A popup blocker like Adguard that is actually designed for the Android TV interface.
• A download manager that is actually designed for the Android TV interface.
• Something like greenify that is actually designed for the Android TV interface.
• An android TV version of Lucky Patcher.
• That more of the developers of the popular streaming/IPTV apps for regular Android would make official android TV versions.
• Krypton for SPMC.

NBC Sports would be nice.

I know you can do a Google search, but having an IMDB app working with a remote would be cool. I would love to be able to navigate through all the information about a movie.

I wish there was an NFL Sunday Ticket app. And I wish they'd improve the YouTube app to at least let you remove a video from a playlist. Oh, and Hulu needs profiles.

What I miss is mostly on the OS side, stuff that I'd like to be native to ATV... I see some of it has already been mentioned (multi-language lean-back keyboard, Chrome w/ d-pad navigation (if they need inspiration on how to browse w/o a mouse they should really have a look at the links2/lynx text-only browsers))...

Anyway what I could wish for more would be:

• Being able to change the launcher background picture.
• Much better LAN integration - My NAS and my Router plays nice with the local network (mDNS/Bonjour/UPnP) would it really hurt Chrome or Chromecast if ATV could play nice with PC's (or other devices) not running Chrome?

Data usage app that work with ethernet, its been 2 years and there is still no app like that for android tv...

I just wish the Fox Sports ATV and Chromecast apps were useable. The janky streams would probably induce suicide if one tried to watch an entire game.

My local tv provider, Ziggo, has apps to watch tv on mobile devices, but they don't have a version for Android TV. And Apple Music should just get chromecast support, so I can cast music to my Mi Box.

I wish the CW app worked on android TV. it works on phones, but does not install on android tv and if forced does not orient itself right

Nothing. Yes, the Roku 4 has 2,500+ streaming channels. Wow. Kind of like the cable provider that carries all those channels nobody watches, right?

I almost wish there were better selection of devices running Android TV. But then again, all 3 that are available do their job quite well.
