Attractive aesthetics all around, Great gaming controller and remote, Googlecast integration is a big plus
Connections drop often (wifi, controllers, etc), Limited storage space, Limited games and apps, Software experience just doesn't feel fully polished just yet
5.0 The Nexus Player, and Android TV platform in general, have tons of potential and we're really excited to see where Google takes it. Unfortunately, we just aren't there yet, between a limited library and software quirks, I find myself going back to Chr...

Pretty, intuitive interface, Voice search can be really powerful, It's a Chromecast
Not nearly enough apps or games yet, Best features only work with Google apps for now, Some quirky software bugs

Voice search is simple and intuitive, Simple card-based interface, Google Cast gives it Chromecast-like features
Limited storage, Search results are limited to Google-related content sources, Buggy software, Chintzy remote, No Ethernet port
The Nexus Player is a great, if imperfect, introductory showcase for Android TV. It doesn't have an Ethernet port and suffers from a few bugs, but Android TV's simple interface, intelligent voice search and Google Cast abilities more than make up for it....

The Google Nexus Player Android TV streaming box offers good conversational voice search from the included physical remote. If you use your smartphone or tablet to Cast compatible apps, it provides access to most important services. It delivers Android ga
At launch, native app selection is abysmal compared with that of Roku, Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV. The interface seems designed to push users toward Google's media services, and voice search doesn't yet include major third-party apps like Netflix or Hulu
Until it receives a major infusion of native apps and developer support, and better integrates non-Google services, the Nexus Player with Android TV offers no compelling upgrade over other streaming devices....
Competitive hardware under the hood, 802.11ac Wi-Fi capable, Smooth gameplay, Zippy navigation, Cast capable
Limited app selection at launch, Limited connection options (no Ethernet!), No universal search (Google Play results only)
When the Amazon Fire TV first came out, we thought app support was a little light, but held out hope that the situation would change. It did, and it did so quickly. These days, we enjoy our Amazon Fire TV box quite a bit, and our kids enjoy it even more ...

Android TV clearly has some challenges ahead, but I'm still rooting for it. While it may seem like the world doesn't need another set-top box platform, Google has proven that there's a better way to build one, drawing its core strengths in algorithmic sug...

The interface looks and feels great. I really want the promise of Android TV to be realized, because there's a lot of potential here, It's pretty damn cool that you can voice search for any actor, director, or series and get a list of films and their cast
Google didn't get it together before launch. The software doesn't feel remotely complete. It didn't get partners to properly integrate their apps with the platform's most intriguing features, like recommendations and voice search. It didn't do a great job
Do you like being on the bleeding edge of technology so much that you will pay for something thats broken and hope that it improves? Even then, the Nexus Player is a hard sell. The software is so clearly unfinished, with references to missing features he...
Abstract: Earlier this month, alongside the Nexus 9 , Nexus 6 and Android Lollipop , Google unveiled its new Nexus Player – the first Android TV streaming set-top box. Immediately, this new device was pegged as an Apple TV rival, so here we've put the two head-to-h...
Abstract: Czekacie na Google Nexus Player z Android TV? Nie warto, lepiej już dziś zaopatrzyć się w przystawkę z Androidem, na przykład Measy B4A.Nie jestem wielkim fanem wrzucania Androida do telewizora, zwłaszcza tych, które nie są autoryzowane przez Google'a. W ...
