If anyone got the Sharp 70" tv from the Best Buy deal around Black Friday (model 4T-C70BK2UD), I wanted to share some tips for installing the Google TV overlay until our tv is (hopefully) officially transitioned.

First, I followed these directions:

During install I found the following items of note:

• Trying to install install the Google Base apk showed that it was apparently already installed (it asked if I wanted to update. I selected yes. It failed installing it).
• The directions tell you to turn on Network Debugging. This tv doesn't have that option. But, I found that turning on USB debugging was enough. After turning that on ADB shell was able to access.
• After I was done with the installation, I hit the home button and was given an option to select Home or RC Update. Not knowing what RC Update was, I selected Home and that has worked.
• Note: I used the Disable command instead of the Uninstall command. I assume that the uninstall would work just as well, but the disable seemed better as it would let me switch back if I didn't like Google TV or if it didn't work without losing my settings.

This tv is new to me, and with it Android TV was new to me. Google TV is also new to me. I can see pros and cons to both. I think I will stick with Google TV for now if for no other reason than to find some new shows/movies that I didn't realize I had access to.
