No one really pays attention to Android TV. Just got the Nvidea Shield, and apps run much more smoothly on it than via Chromecast.

It also acts as a Chromecast, so I can still cast from my phone if I want to.

Agreed. I just got a Sony TV with Android TV built in. I was hoping to hear some updates on this.

Nobody cares about Android TV because the worst thing that can happen when you turn on your TV is it displays "Optimizing app 15 of 189" for the next half an hour.

That only happens when you factory reset (and with less apps than that) or you upgrade to another big version, doesn't it?

It notifies you of the update and asks if you want to install it. I haven't been forced into an update.
