Video: What is Google TV

Get more than just shows and movies on your television. Watch videos on the web, browse photos, play games, and more -- all in one seamless experience.


Google TV is a software platform that hardware device makers can use. Initially it will be supported by Logitech, Sony and Dish. Right now, there are three places we'll see Google TV: a set top box by Logitech, Sony televisions (and one Blu-ray player) and an upcoming DISH box. It will be also be compatible with your cable or satellite box. Once it starts up it works like Google search with a simple search bar for you to start - be that through a cable subscription channel, Netflix or somewhere on the web. With Google TV you can combine TV and the web. That is you can watch a streaming video on part of the screen while watching your favorite Soap on the other part. Combines your Phone with your TV. Thanks to required Google TV hardware specs like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, you'll be able to load a webpage on your Android phone and beam it to your TV. It also has complete access to the Android App store and therefore you can use it to run Apps. Also supports flash videos and games. Combining web with TV has never been more fun
