When Google presented a new superposition of TV last year, promised to carry a modern interface to Chromecast and subsequently launched devices. It also caused a lot of confusion about what would happen to the Android TV operating system, which promotes hundreds of models of transmission sticks, televisions and more. Those older devices did not get the new Google TV interface, but the company began to deploy some updates that made Android TV looked more similar to the new distribution, including an updated appearance and a discover tab. Nowadays, Google is adding new tools to Android television to feel more like Google TV: surveillance list, recommendation and detail pages.

With this update, you can now add titles to your observation list in the Android television system, either by pressing long-term in your selection and hit “Add to observation list” or by pressing the Observation List option on the page of program details. You can also add to the list from your phone or laptop through the Google search or the TV application. Your saved items will appear in a row on the discover tab.

The company also modified the detail pages of each program by adding trailers that the automatic playback function when immersed in each title, similar to how services are configured as Netflix. You can turn them off in the settings (on the home screen in the device preferences when deactivating “Enable previews of video”).

You will also find a new way to tell Google what it shows that you like (and hate) in the startup screen configuration: Look for content preferences and scroll through the titles that are displayed. In addition, there is a card in the discover tab that says “Improve your recommendations” that will also allow you to adjust your preferences, and you can choose between “more like this” or “less like this” for each show. Once you are finished, the system will update your suggestions on the Discover page.

Those who already use a CROMECAST with Google TV will find these family characteristics, and those with Android television devices, do not have to wait a lot to obtain them. Google said the updates will arrive at Android Television devices “starting this week.”
