Google TV sound pretty cool . and it be ; it be a great interface that lay on top of you Cable tv and internet . but it be first gen and come with it be large share of problem which sort of make I feel like a beta tester . only I have to pay to be so . I buy Logitech 's flavor of Google tv ; the revue . Sony 's version be the same software . the con begin outweigh the pro 's for I , so I 'll start with those . - expensive price compare to other set top box -lrb- Roku , Boxee Box or software , appletv -rrb- - the keyboard controller be very hard to get cozy with . - Logitech 's harmony remote control you entire entertainment center . this package be advertise to include ` Harmony Link ' , which essentially mean it be a dumb down version that only control the Google tv , you receiver , dvr , and you tv . what it do not control be anything else -lrb- in my case ; computer , xbox , Roku -rrb- . and you can not teach it any new command or execute any Macros . to turn on\/off you system there be 3 power button , GoogleTV , Receiver , and tv . - you cable provider 's very ugly dvr interface be still use when watch tv . this look strange with Google TV overlay it , and make for a slightly confusing experience - -lrb- Wife : `` be I in GoogleTV now , or Comcast ? '' -rrb- - Google TV work much better with dish network 's DVR 's . in Google TV 's search box , you can type in any show name , and if it be available or playing in the future on Dish , it will list the show . from those result you can select a episode and set up a recording right from Google TV . with any other provider , you select the show , then it take you to you provider 's DVR interface and then you have to manually search for that show that be air in 3 week . good luck . - Audio\/Video sync issue . this be almost constant when watch live tv . Logitech be aware of the issue and be promise a fix , but not within the 30-day return window ; -lrb- - double View mode -lrb- picture-in-picture -rrb- be only work in some case . there have be recent update that have optimize double View , however . - system be sometimes laggy when navigate through GoogleTV 's menus\/apps . - ton of network have block Google TV Boxes from access they internet content . - still no Android Marketplace . - and one of my biggest wish be not yet available . I want to be able to open one search box , type in a item , hit search , then see a list of result from everything , even service I be a member of . currently you see result from Youtube , Amazon VOD , other internet site , and you Cable Provider . but no result from Netflix , Blockbuster , Hulu + -lrb- this be not accessible on gtv yet anyway . . -rrb- , and whatnot . so you have to search service after service to see if the content be available elsewhere . - control the system from you smartphone be pretty cool , but hard to use . the screen keep turn off and the phone auto-lock . the button be all touchscreen so you have to constantly be look at the screen to press a button . there be many ` possible ' plus to GoogleTV , like ` this feature will be available in a future update ' , or ` if x sign a deal with y , then google tv will finally get z ' . I be go to wait until those update and deal be make , then buy the latest and greatest gTV hardware available instead of be stick with this old first gen box . as for the pro : + the keyboard controller be very cool and easy to use when navigate through the menu , surf the web , or enter search term . + searching for content be great . + dual View -lrb- with recent update -rrb- be fantastic . + it be nice be able to quickly overlay a tv show to check something real quick on the web . + Software\/Firmware update ! Hope this help . these be opinion from a geek and a wife that both just want a solid , easy-to-use system . we be still very interested in gtv but want to hold off until faster hardware and more feature become available . in the meantime , we be happy with we Roku , and put up with Comcast . we rarely use the Boxee software I install on a dedicated pc because it be interface be too jumbled\/confusing . Google TV 's interface really shine in comparison .
