According to the blog, it looks like all of the second generation devices (including set-top boxes like the Vizio Co-Star) will be getting the updates in the coming months. Patience, Grasshopper!

It’s a Revue. And it figures, I go to check it today and sure enough, it’s finally updated.

Yep – Able remote works so I know they are both on the same network. Maybe I need to restart the phone?

First-gen set-top boxes (like the Revue) aren’t getting the voice update, but they are getting Deion Sanders, err, I mean PrimeTime and the YouTube bit. We Revue owners can use the Android Google TV phone app to input using voice now, so I hope that same functionality will work with the updated Voice Search.

As for the YouTube remote control part, is that supposed to be live yet with the latest app versions? I don’t see it available on my phone, but I also have a Nexus Q, and I wonder if that’s causing a problem, given the overlap.

Have been KIND-OF doing this for a while now with Able Remote, so if my Revue doesn’t ever see this I can continue with my status quo and be fine.

You ARE logged into your WiFi connection when you’re trying to send it via the S3…. You have to be on the same network.

“The update will rollout to LG devices this week. The rest of the lot won’t see the update for a bit. The Logitech Revue and original Sony GTV devices will likely not see Voice Search.”

Try reading the whole article next time..

WOW! Any clue if Google has posted what devices will get the updates? I got my youtube updates on my Vizio Costar and my S3 last night – problem is I can’t send the video from my S3 to my Google TV? Any ideas? My S3 isn’t giving me the TV icon to send it?

I’m still waiting for the Google Play update announced a couple months ago to show up.

Will the set-top boxes get this? Like the Logitech Revue, or is it just the TV’s?
