I got this update with my new Sony Google TV box and I have to say it is a very nice feature and quite an improvement over my Revue.

Google TV owners have to happy hear that they can finally
stream movies, TV shows and listen to music. I thought about getting the Google
TV box when it first came out, but I’m glad that I waited on DISH’s Hopper. My Hopper
can stream thousands of Blockbuster movies (and Blockbuster gets new releases
28 days before Netflix) to it, and it has a Pandora radio app! My DISH coworker
told me that my Hopper holds up to 2,000 TV shows, and I can skip my recorded
commercials.

I appreciate another viewpoint on the product. I think at this point I will hold off and wait for that day I walk by it in a store and decide I can’t live without it, or they come out with something better. @NexusMan has the right idea with Google producing their own Google TV. Here’s to hope.

Received update this morning on my Sony NSZ-GS7. In addition to the included goodies, it appears to have fixed a Play Music bug. Now if Hulu would stop dragging their feet…

I’ve been saying this for a while. Why won’t Google just commit and produce high end hardware that further realizes the full potential of Google TV. Not only would it give other manufacturers a solid reference product for future devices, It would also send a strong message to developers and consumers that Google is 100% committed to the platform. Google TV’s future will continue to be bleak until Google creates a well built product that deliverers on a premium user experience. I’m betting a $200 Nexus Google TV with zero lag, and Jelly Bean preinstalled would sound good to a lot of people. It could be the very device that allows Google TV to turn the corner. Google, make it so.

it is as easy as emailing the .apk files to yourself and then going to gmail in chrome. and once you have a file system like drive or dropbox installed you can then use tose to transfer apps over.

Flixster works but it is only SD (which is how flixster is every where) any flixster content you can see on your phone, tablet or computer you can watch on the googletv. hopefully flixster will come out with a HD app and with their new paramount deal that starts in January then several movies I did disc to digital from paramount will show up in Flixster.

it provides a more native experience to browse for content and tv series don’t show up in the youtube purchase section. I had the play movies app sideloaded for a while now on my costar and it would show movies and tv series I have bought. youtube only showed movies I bought.

this update will be pushed to all the googletv devices.
