"New Android TV users doubled..." Neat, think Google could actually support the platform now?

I hope the last line is true: "it looks like Google is finally ready to put its weight behind this platform and give it all the improvements and attention it deserves."

Allowing consumer customization is the most important thing, imo. That's a big reason why Android took such a large chunk of the phone market.

Let me get rid of the horrible infinite scroll rows and change the background at least. Let customized launchers be enabled (default) and maybe allow disabling of voice so I can text search faster. And allow 3rd party software keyboards, Google's isn't very good.

AndroidTV seriously doesnt need much to dominate the market.

• Do some marketing so people know the difference between ATV and generic android boxes
• Google could outlay minimum specs and features, and (re)launch their own box to give an example of how it should be done.
• More official ATV apps and less bugs

Things i would kill to see in a box

• Gigabit Ethernet
• HDMI Passthrough
• Minimum Dual TV Tuner built in
• M.2 PCI slot or some sort of HDD support for DVR

Add those features and it would replace every box on most TV's and you would never have to leave the ATV ecosystem
