Android TV's Play Next screen gains Google TV-like promotions

techradar.com (Spanish)

Android TV is receiving a visual update, adding new promotional sections to its "Play Next" screen, mirroring the look of Google TV. This update is server-side, not a firmware update. The update introduces tabs like "Top Selling Movies," "Popular Movies & Shows," and "Trending on Google" to the Play Next section, similar to Google TV's interface. This change is rolling out to some Android TV users, and is expected to be a universal update. This update comes as Google continues to support the older Android TV interface, even as it shifts focus to Google TV. The underlying Android TV OS remains, with Google TV being the front-end.
