Google TV is coming - Android TV fans are outraged

In social networks, a serious scandal erupted among the owners of TV-Box. In short, the problem is that switching from Android TV to Google TV turns the smart TV into a dumb one. In the full sense of these concepts.

 

Google TV instead of Android TV - how it will be

 

The software will be replaced by updating the TV's firmware. This firmware itself will be downloaded to the TV automatically. Google has already launched an update service for Sony and TCL TVs.

After installing Google TV instead of Android TV, all applications will disappear from the system (TV, not TV-Box). Even Google Assistant. All that will remain is the control interface for broadcast and satellite broadcasting and the ability to work with external devices.

All this can be "rolled back", if desired. For this, there is a special menu in which you can select the appropriate command. To restore all the settings again (delete everything again), you need to reset the TV to factory settings.

 

What Android TV fans don't like

 

It may seem that people who are very fond of poking around in the settings of technology and applications are simply offended that Google will turn a TV into a monitor. For a user who has a media player available, all this fuss with Google TV and Android TV will go unnoticed. But the owners of TVs using streaming services (Youtube, Netflix, Spotify, etc.) will lose all the benefits.

 

And that makes sense. It turns out that all these online complaints are justified. After all, not every house has TV box... And mind you, the company explains this promotion of "Google TV instead of Android TV" by the imperfection of the Internet connections. That is, with a poor-quality connection, all smart functions are useless and must be removed. Sounds silly.

Most likely, Google just wants to remove everything in order to sell and earn money later. Only does not completely delete - suddenly users start to strike. It will be possible to return everything quickly back. But, if there is silence on the air, then very soon all TV owners (who do not have set-top boxes) will pay bribes to Google.
