The second consideration is that, like most media streamers, it doesnвЂ™t quite cover all the best video services. We find closing the app and rebooting it up usually does the trick but that shouldn't be necessary and, hopefully, this will be solved by any future firmware updates.

You can teach it to control the power and volume on your TV and use it as the microphone for the Google Assistant voice searches on Google TV. The new remote control is tactile and well thought out. You can refine the AI by telling it what youвЂ™ve already seen but, even from the off, it has a pretty decent handle on our tastes. When you track down a film or TV show that you have rights to watch on multiple services, Google TV gives you the choice of service and will even default to the cheapest or free option where possible, rather than trying to sell you the version from GoogleвЂ™s own catalogue.ДЄvailable films and TV programmes are organised into helpful rows of suggestions, including quite a few categories weвЂ™ve never seen on other services, such as Neo-noir, Futuristic Shows, Films about Robots and Space exploration movies.
