Hey Guys, Thanks for clicking over to BigNate84
Last week I did a review of the Logitech Revue
With GoogleTV
If you missed it you can
Click the link in the lower right corner
In this video I will be using the Logitech Revue
To show you what Google TV 2.0 looks like
I’m still waiting for the HoneyComb firmware update
So what you see here will be upgraded soon
To give you added functionality
And easier more intuitive navigation
While making this video I got an email from Logitech
Letting me know the 3.1 HoneyComb update
Will automatically happen just in time for the Holidays
At the heart and soul of Google TV
is the Android operating system
You get the look and feel of using a smart phone
On your TV
As you can see there is a Google Chrome
Web browser that supports flash
So access to all of your favorite web sites
Will appear exactly the same
As they do on your computer
In my last video to save time
I sped up some of the web surfing shots
So in this video everything is real time
I am currently using a very slow DSL connection
My Internet speed is roughly 1Mbps
And I’m connected through a wireless router
So that also impacts the connection speed
That said Netfilx works perfectly fine for me
They have the buffering all figured out for people like me
YouTube on the other hand is painful to watch
With my slow DSL connection
YouTube videos constantly get interrupted for buffering
That is not the fault of GoogleTv or the Logitech Revue
If I were able to upgrade my Internet connection speed
My experience would be greatly enhanced
My wife and I use the Pandora application all the time
You have the ability to listen to music on Pandora
While surfing the web
Or using another application
At the same time which I think it pretty cool
You just need to remember to turn off Pandora
Before starting a Netflix session
I really like the Netflix app
It allows you to easily search for movies
And edit your queue
[Music]
As you can see I have the options
To play
Add to queue
Rate this title
And adjust audio and subtitles
This is another main reason why I wanted to get Google TV
Lets say you have a computer upstairs
With some pictures on it
That you want to show to your friends
Down stairs on your HDTV
Click the home button
Scroll down to applications
Click on Logitech Media Player
The Green Laptop is already recognized
Under network sources
But if it didn’t show up for some reason
I could click the “Rescan Sources” button at the bottom
Lets click on Green Laptop
Pictures
Then we’ll go to folders
Then we’ll go to pictures folder
Then 2011
Then 04-09-2011 Mark & Rachael
Now I can scroll through all the pictures
In that folder
A thumbnail preview will appear on the right
That’s me rocking out on guitar
And lets make it a slide show
So we can sit back and watch
Lets go back to the home screen
And scroll down to spotlight
These are all the applications
That have been developed for Google TV
My favorites are the NHL app
Crackle
USA Today
Cnet
and Tune In
I wish they had an NFL app
I’m a big Patriots fan
Thanks for watching
And let me know what you think
