Chromecast is the "light" competitor. Why give it it's own OS when "everyone" (yes I know not everyone) already has a smartphone that can just cast it's content to it?
This allows it to be cheaper and means the device itself is less prone to bugs & software glitches.
For the more advanced, you've got the Android TV Operating System - on the Nexus Player and other Android TV manufacturers, or built into some TVs.
- spacemanmatt 11y agoThe last thing I need is another OS. I really like the Chromecast for doing its job without fanfare. It puts the smart in my otherwise dumb and un-networked TV.
- Navarr 11y agoI agree with the general sentiment. I really rather like my Nexus Player, though.
