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 Google’s own catalogue.Īvailable films and TV programmes are organised into helpful rows of suggestions, including quite a few categories we’ve never seen on other services, such as Neo-noir, Futuristic Shows, Films about Robots and Space exploration movies.

As a user, it’s a refreshing change to see a genuinely useful content discovery tool rather than a shopfront to sell you content. These depend on your location and subscriptions but include Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, iPlayer, YouTube and more.

It’s compatible with over 6500 of the apps built for Android TV and will recommend content on the home page from over 30 streaming services. Google TV makes its debut on Chromecast here, and despite that resulting in a mouthful of a name for the device, we understand why Google wishes to shout about its new interface.
