What is Google TV?
Google TV (also still known as Google Play Movies & TV or Google Play Movies in some regions) is an online video on demand service operated by Google. The service offers movies and television shows for purchase or rental, depending on availability. The service initially launched in May 2011 as Google Movies and was later renamed Google Play Movies & TV following its integration into the Google Play digital distribution service in 2012.
Google claims that most content is available in high definition, and a 4K Ultra HD video option was offered for select titles starting in December 2016. Content can be watched on streaming devices, the Google Play website, through an extension for the Google Chrome web browser, or through the mobile app on Android and iOS devices. Offline download is supported through the mobile app and on devices.
In September 2020, the Android app for Google Play Movies & TV was renamed to Google TV in the United States, adding aggregation of content across streaming services. The rebranding coincided with the debut of an identically-named user interface for the Android TV operating system on the Chromecast with Google TV media streamer. The Google TV user interface is deeply integrated with the Google TV video service.

Comments and Reviews
When comparing to its two main competitors, Amazon TV and Roku streaming boxes/sticks, Google TV box currently sits above their shoulders. It has currently 90% less ads than Amazon TV, and it is way more responsive and modification friendly than Roku. On the negative side, even though sideloading is available, it is almost impossible to find apps outside the official Google Play Store that will install on Google TV box. So if you want something to do on Google TV box outside regular TV watching and maybe light gaming, you are out of luck. The most glaring omission is lack of major Web Browser. Even Google Chrome will not install.
