A new Google TV update has been announced ahead of the release of the Google TV Streamer. The new features in this update are focused on making it easier for users to control their smart home.
Google TV’s new home panel lets users control every compatible smart home device. This includes cameras, lights and thermostats. Users can also see who is at the front door while relaxing on the couch with the new doorbell notification feature. The users can even control their smart home devices by simply using their voice and Google Assistant.
Google has also introduced a new feature which lets users transform their TVs into works of art. Users can use Ambient screensaver which lets them generate AI designs. They can provide prompts until the users get the desired image. Additionally, users can opt for something more sentimental by asking Google Assistant to show their best Google Photos memories on Google TV.
Google TV Update: More features with the new update
The For You tab now has a sports page which presents all of the user’s sports media in one place. Users can get live and upcoming games or browse through highlights on YouTube. Users can also watch sports commentaries and get personalised recommendations to better suit their interests.
If users need more help with picking what to watch, the new Google TV update has it covered. With Gemini technology, users can access overviews of the trending and top-rated movies to be better informed about which movie to watch next. Google TV Freeplay is also getting a new channel guide enabling users to browse media by topic and genre. Google TV users also gain access to free channels including ION Plus, Heartland and The FBI Files.
