It's easy to think of the original Google TV UI when looking at the new Android TV's channels. Next they need to add an aggregated channel that includes content from all the channels, and have that be the first channel.

TL:DR What's New for Android TV I/O '17

Growth is accelerating +137% /year. Over 3k Android TV apps. Assistant soon for Marshmallow & newer. New TV Launcher is Android O only. Apps create channels, which highlight custom content feeds on homepage. Favorite Apps & Watch Next are the customizable top two rows. Android O launching late summer.

Anyone catch updates for the DVR functionality with an OTA tuner? When will that be Tivo-grade usable?
