Via wireless pages took longer to load or sometimes didn't load at all sound and video were more prone to breakup and a bandwidth test at Quiocity said our connection was only good enough to stream SD quality.

The issue reminded us of using a modern Android smartphone heavily-lag was intermittent and tolerable for the most part, albeit system-wide and tough to pin down.Īs expected we experienced worse performance with Wi-Fi than Ethernet, and recommend using the latter if possible.
We experienced lag at times with the search bar, picture-in-picture, and even volume, mute, and input changes, where a button-press would take a second or 5 to mature into a response from the GT1. We do mean "generally," and lag beyond simple page loading was more common than on typical Internet TVs. Response times in the menus, apps, and browser were generally quite snappy, pages loaded as quickly as we expected, and even pages with flash seemed to appear more quickly than on the Logitech Revue-although once the PBS site caused flash to crash. Using Google TV on the Sony, aside from the issues noted above, was a mostly satisfying experience via the wire connection. For better or worse, it essentially duplicates the feeling of watching videos on a slightly underpowered laptop, except you have the benefit of the big screen.įour HDMI, four USB, and lots of white spac

It's awesome when Chrome intelligently maximizes videos to full screen (which happens on Amazon VOD), and that you can now access any niche video site from your home theater. It's frustrating when the browser feels slow (which happens sometimes when Flash is used on the site) or when a pop-up window fills the entire screen. We expect access to the extensive video archives at PBS.org to remain Google-TV-accessible indefinitely, however.Ĭontent issues aside, the experience of surfing the Web on your big screen is simultaneously frustrating and awesome. Comedy Central and Cartoon Network, for example, currently aren't blocking Google TV-though that could change at any moment. It is worth pointing out, however, that some content providers don't seem as vigilant with their content. Unfortunately we expect this problem to stay in flux, with hobbyists finding workarounds, content providers trying to plug the holes, and official deals between content providers and Google coming slowly (although we'd bet Hulu Plus comes soon). The apparent reasons: Web advertising still doesn't pay nearly as much as traditional TV advertising, and-unlike cable and satellite companies-Web video currently doesn't offer any affiliate fees (read: revenue) for TV content providers.

The main issue is that major content providers don't mind people watching these videos for free on a computer, but don't like the idea of the same content showing up in the living room. The reality, as mentioned before, is that many content providers, such as ABC, CBS, and Hulu, are currently blocking Google TV devices from streaming video from their sites (we also tried loading Comcast's Hulu-like Fancast site but were never successful). The emphasis is on "technically," though. The Sony with Google TV puts the full Internet on TV.
