First Impressions of Google TV

Here's what Danny Sullivan, Search Engine Land editor in chief, has to say about getting, setting up and using Google TV. Some people recommend waiting for "version two," and this might be a case where that is wise.

It isn't so much that setup is so onerous, but one might question some elements of the user interface, such as the user log-in (what happens when different members of a family want to watch their favorite stuff, not dad's?), or the design of the remote control. Lack of Hulu content seems a bigger issue.



Short of replacing your TV display and buying a new Sony TV, you can buy a Sony Blu-ray player or Logitech Revue set-top box (pre-order only at this point).

At some point in the future, you should also be able to order Dish TV with a Google TV-powered DVR. But that’s not even pre-order option, right now.
