Google TV vs Android TVUpdated 15 days ago

What’s the difference between Google TV and Android TV?

While Android TV is app-focused, Google TV takes things back to basics and leads with TV.

Google TV offers a more personalised experience for its users than Android TV, recommending shows to watch based on your viewing habits.

Fuss-free viewing

Google TV has made it easier to access a wide variety of streaming apps, such as 7+, and YouTube. Through Google’s in-built smarts, your favourite apps will be there for you as soon as you turn on your Google TV. A click on your remote will take you straight to your favourite streaming service, and onto the day’s or night’s entertainment!

Multiple users
In an update that will be welcomed by families, Google TV supports multiple user profiles.
That means your recommendations won’t be affected by shows your partner, children or guests watch!

Importantly, Google TV allows you to create child accounts. With dedicated child accounts, you won’t have to set parental controls like you need to on an Android TV to avoid your children watching things they shouldn’t.

In essence, Google TV’s new interface will mean a more seamless entertainment experience in your caravan, RV, or camper – and who wouldn’t want that after a long day on the road or in the outdoors? After all, as a traveller, you have more important things to worry about than spending time scrolling through your TV. Google TV makes life off the beaten track that little bit easier.

Can I use Android TV apps on Google TV?

Yes, you can! Google TV and Android TV both have access to the Google Play App store, so you can find any app you’re using on your Android TV on a Google TV.
