Google TV is widely rolling out âProactive Personalized Resultsâ at minimum to Chromecast Google TV owners. This feature was made available as part of the limited release on the Mecool KD3 streaming stick. Weâve seen this feature go live on at minimum four different Chromecasts within the last hour across several accounts. However, the quality is yet to be available on non-Google devices such as a TCL 6-Series TV.

Wrap Up
Even though the overall price for Google TV is $49 in most regions, Google didnât treat this device as a cheap product and provided less software support. They offer and roll out massive helpful updates often. Google has big plans like releasing Google TV as a separate product like Xiaomi and other Android TVs.
