Apple TV+ is now available on Google TV......

https://blog.google/products/google-tv/appl...-now-available/

Seems we will soon get Apple TV app, including Apple TV+.

"In addition to Chromecast with Google TV, the Apple TV app will also be available on Google TVs from Sony and TCL. We plan to roll out to more Android TV-powered devices in the coming months."


Tried, but need (I think) new UI interface..... hmm.gif

*
What they meant is that for now the app is only available officially for new devices with Google TV.
Ex; Chromecast with Google TV, the upcoming new Sony TV & TCL TV with Google TV.

Currently, the app can be sideload to Android TV devices but only ads/trailer are playable not the content.

Which app you have installed...
Apple TV (Android TV) 1.0 (4) or Apple TV (Android TV) 2.1 (17) ?
Got one more...Apple TV (Fire TV variant) 5.1 (18) .

To avoid confusion, always refer to package name to differentiate those apps.

Apple TV (Android TV) 1.0 (4) - com.apple.atve.androidtv.appletv
This is the new Apple TV app that is currently only available for device with Google TV as mentioned in my previous post.

Apple TV (Android TV) 2.1 (17) - com.apple.atve.sony.appletv
This Apple TV is only for selected Sony TV models with Android TV after an agreement between Sony & Apple.

Apple TV (Fire TV variant) 5.1 (18) - com.apple.atve.amazon.appletv
This app is only for Amazon devices.

I have tried all of this app on my Shield TV previously & none of these apps has worked.
I believe that Apple might have their own content protection requirement that need to be added at firmware level first.

Afaik, even Chromecast with Google TV has the same Atmos support as the TV..
It can do DD+ Atmos not TrueHD Atmos..

I forgot about TrueHD..
Then I need invest on Nvidia Shield..

You any advise other android 4K can support this?

Shield TV 2019 Pro will be the best option if you need all in one box for both official streaming & local playback with AFR..
Iinm, it is the only Google & Netfllix certified box with lossless audio support..

It’s just a Hack… Easy Hack with YouTube link below.

Actually it is not..
The 'hack' is to activate Discovery UI which is inspired by Google TV UI and will revert back to old UI when the system detect the device location is outside of supported countries.

Meanwhile, what @hizadzahid shared is the real Google TV UI with 'For Your' tab.
It is either using TCL TV firmware based on Google TV or installed 'Google TV Home' app.

No firmware will be released with Google TV.
Only interface for Home screen, by doing yourself or wait from Google when our region will be available.

TV or device that comes with real Google TV UI use firmware that has Google TV UI/UX/features baked into it. Even though it is based on Android TV, it is still different because it is not just interface but 'more' than that.

What you are referring to is new Android TV UI with 'Discover' tab that is included in the updated 'Android TV Home' and 'Android TV Core Services' app which will be activated via Google server when the times come. This is not Google TV.

Even Google released two type of Android 12 firmware for ADT-3. One is based on Android TV and another one is based on Google TV.
It is just matter of time when Google make it compulsory for OEM to use Google TV in future.

I don’t really care whether it’s Google TV or Android TV at the backend
as long as the Home Screen UI is Google TV, so to match with my new 50 C725….

Well actually you need to still care about it. Knowing the differences is important so that you'll understand better.

If only the UI you care then you can wait for the new Android TV Discover UI or forced it with VPN or install Google TV Home app and make it default launcher BUT this will only bring new UI and in some case it will not work properly without VPN. For real Google TV UX and features, you'll need TV with Google TV out of box.
