After last update my android TV's assistant stopped working normally with languages other than English. When I asked "what the weather is", instead of showing the weather, the assistant suggests watching a video from YouTube over the past year about the weather.(( and e.t.c. I had to roll back to the previous version there everything works as before ok. 131 people found this review helpful
Seems to be installed on my new Shield TV, but doesn't appear to actually do anything (doesn't even show in my apps & doesn't start from Google Assistant). Been searching for a web browser I can use on it for hours (first attempt was Firefox, but can't find that in the Google Play apps on the device), assumed this would be a web browser, but doesn't seem to open as a stand alone app, so giving a minimal rating until I see that the app actually has some use... 133 people found this review helpful
Auto download is disabled on my TV except for software updates. I will not install a streaming App update that I don't pay for to watch. The only App updates I'll install are the system & Google updates that keep my TV running great & this isn't one of them. It offers many movies on Apps that I wouldn't install on my TV. I disabled Google Assistant as I don't want to be spied on. I am intelligent enough & can navigate my TV to find my own answers w/o asking Google's Mata Hari's idiot box. 33 people found this review helpful What's newGoogle app for Android TV Joe Hindy / Android Authority Please note that this is just for downloading and installing the Google Play Store on Google Android devices.

Pre-Android 8.0 Oreo devices have a different way of performing the above tasks. They are almost the same, but in a different order, and you have to do a couple of things differently. We can’t imagine anyone needing this part of the tutorial, but again, we’ll keep it here for posterity.
