Google TV is Google’s new Android-based skin for the television segment. It presents content from various sources in a more intuitive manner compared to the competition. Google TV groups the content into different tabs and the most important one of them might be the “Live” tab which recommends live programs. However, it only gave recommendations from YouTube TV, which is not great. But now you can get recommendation from the Sling TV streaming service into Google TV “Live” tab.
