This is part 2 of a 20 minute review. This part is linked as a reponse to part 1. Part 1 includes: – still shots of device and remote – regular device startup – quick device startup – device shut down – overview of main navigation – web page navigation – Hulu blockade – Netflix app Part 2 includes: – Pandora app – quick search using the magnifying glass button – quick search for video – quick search for music – YouTube leanback – play a DVD – play video and music on USB flash drive Note: I do not have cable TV, satellite (eg, Dish network), or a DVR. I only use Google TV for online content, physical discs, and local media files. I made this review about 24 hours after receiving the Google TV set top box. The Sony model number is NSZ-GT1. The review is long (20 mins) because I go through each of the operations that were important to me. I shot video of my TV while using the Sony Internet TV. There are also a few still shots of the device and remote. Hopefully this overview will help you make a purchase decision. I complete love this Sony device and the Google TV application / OS. I paid for the device with my own money. The reason I leaned toward the Sony (9) rather than the Logitech Revue (9) is for a couple reasons: (a) I don’t have a blu-ray player, so for 0 I get a blu-ray player, (b) I wanted a small remote, not a keyboard (the Logitech comes with a small keyboard, and you pay 9 for a small remote), (c) I’ve had great past experiences with Sony products

  3. It looks cool,but i got a 21inch Imac,i can get the same programs plus more.i like sony and google both,can you get facebook and play farmville and fronterville,i hear there is no flash.

  4. @arkansasrazorbackfan there are three options for buying a google TV product..
    1 Buying the Sony tv that has googletv Inbuilt.
    2 Buying a Sony Google internet – Bluray kinda box
    3 the logintech Google TV
    the least have prety similar functions, but well, just google it 🙂

  5. Doesn’t seem like a big deal to me. Couldn’t we connect our computer to the tv?? That’s basically what it is.

  6. @meowmmmmm I’m not fanatical about power usage. Not saying it doesn’t need to use less power and power strips as it currently does, just I haven’t shifted in building new Media Center. I use about 4% CPU with 1080i, about the same with Blu-Ray rips. But it goes into Sleep 3 every night, but I tend to watch TV until the wee hours.When I’m not here, its in Sleep 3. Wakes up to Record and then back to Sleep 3.
