Google TV is undergoing some changes that will impact how users purchase TV episodes and seasons. Starting in July, Google TV will no longer offer the option to buy TV shows, but users can still make these purchases through YouTube in select countries.
Despite this change, existing purchases on Google TV will not be affected. Users will still have access to previously bought TV shows and can continue to buy or rent movies as usual. Here’s a quick summary of the key points:
– New TV episodes and seasons cannot be purchased on Google TV devices, Android TV devices, or the Google TV mobile app.
– Users who have bought movies and TV shows on any of these platforms can still access their content after the changes take effect.
In other news, reports suggest that a 4K Chromecast with Google TV is in development and expected to cost $49.99. The main update with this new model is an improved remote control:
– The new Chromecast Voice Remote features a pill-shaped design with a D-Pad at the top.
– Unlike previous models, the volume button is located on the front of the remote instead of on the side.
– A new star (magic) button allows users to customize actions for added convenience.
Stay tuned for more updates on these exciting developments from Google!
