jesus christ. i really love the ecosystem but fuck. come on guys. quit smoking crack.
Should we change the sub name now
r/googletv, we just wanna talk...
For the love of Christ do they focus on the wrong things...the name doesn’t matter just focus on functionality and ecosystem!
Hey google, instead of worrying about names how about you fix the shit you broke (Nests Android TV app).
Finally the circle is complete
Wasn't it called googletv back in day?
That's one way of solving the problem of non-Android TV Android boxes causing market confusion, I suppose.
Has to get at least one rebranding done before they're allowed to axe it entirely. It's an internal policy.
Re-re-brand ftfy
Google product names continue to be the hardest to search for. Always two extremely popular names like Google and TV, Home, Music, etc. You would think a search company would know how to stand out.
I already have a Google TV. It's a paperweight or door stop depending on my mood.
I remember I almost bought a Logitech Revue when it was on fire sale.
Android TV has next to no brand equity so who really cares? Still funny though, about 10 years on from the Logitech Revue with Google TV .
Google has fallen way off the pace as an innovator. Sad!
I reckon their Android TV engineers are working from home
Next they will also rebrand YouTube TV to Google TV.
The horror!
Seriously??
Meh... The name doesn't bother me. They can change it weekly for all I care. As long as I have decent app support and it works, I'm happy.
Gotta keep the news cycle fresh! They should just do what Apple does and just release an AndroidTV box that's gold plated or something. Sell it for $2,000 and get people talking about it.
AndroidTV on a Sony TV sucks. I paid 2000$ in 2017 and my model is already too old to receive OS updates. Im stuck at Oreo forever.
I don't get it. What's the benefit in renaming established product lines? They did it with Wear OS and now Android TV. As if they don't want the name Android anymore with devices other than the phones.
At least this will distinguish it from generic Android "TV" boxes.
It's basically Android! "Google TV" makes no sense to me other than copying Apple's naming.
Could anyone do that Alright Gentlemen web need a new idea meme for this article please
bwuah ha ha
I actually approve of this.
I can't tell you how disappointed I was when I got an Android TV and found so many android apps were not natively supported ... I'm not talking crazy shit either, I'm talking things like Firefox ... A major let down.
A name change would manage expectations ... Call it Google TV and step away from claiming to be an Android device, when in practise it is really just Android Compatible: Kinda.
4 years later: Google is planning to rebrand Google TV to... Nest TV.
