the original release of the revue be a disappointment , but the hardware itself be not the problem . Google rush the operating system out before it be ready . a year later , after the Android platform spawn cell phone , tablet and even a satellite , Google have a much better handle on the platform and what work and do not . the newest release of the software for the revue be call Honeycomb , and it be a massive leap forward . when install my revue , it ask if I want to install the update . I eagerly agree and it quickly set itself up . you need to log in to you Google -lrb- Gmail -rrb- account in order to fully take advantage of its feature , but once you do , everything else fall in place . in my setup , I have a TiVo , a Blu Ray Home Theater system from Samsung and a Sony tv . I run hdmus from the TiVo to the Blu Ray player and hdmus from there to the revue and from the revue to the tv . the IR remote attachment that come with the revue let I control channel change and volume on the other two device , but do not think of it as a true universal remote or a manager for the other device , it be not mean for that . the connectivity to the TiVo -lrb- or other dvr -rrb- have one goal : to control channel change . the integration with the playlist on the dvr be poor , so if you buy this as a one-stop controller it will disappoint . however , since it have its own channel listing , it can give you a matrix of movie that be currently play on live tv much the way the Netflix app show you what be in you queue . along with this , be progress bar that show how much of each movie be currently over . the killer feature , though , be browse movie and tv show from internet source . you browse by title , not service . the revue then tell you what service have the movie you want . so , let 's say you want to watch limitless and have a Amazon Prime and Netflix account . the revue will tell you that you can watch it for free on Netflix , for a rental fee on Amazon and for a $ 1.99 fee on YouTube . this one feature make the box worth buying , but as the tv salesman once say , wait : there be more ! the Andorid Market let you buy app just as you would on a android phone . the selection be much , much smaller right now , because not many app vendor be target Google TV yet , but you can add in Google Music to put you whole music collection on the device ; Flixster movie for browse what be currently in theater ; and a number of very nice game , just for starter ! overall , this be the best tv-related device I have purchase since the TiVo . highly recommend !
