Android TV - or Google TV – is Google’s version of a video solution. Here, content will be available from the internet and you will be able to search across different platforms. Content should be available whenever the users wants it and therefore the user will not have to rely on the fixed program schedule from the TV stations. And most content will be free, Google says.
