With your Assistant on Android TV, you can jump right into your favourite show, find the latest blockbuster, check the score of the big game, dim the lights and more, all with just your voice, Googles Jian Leong writes. To get started, accept the Google Assistant system update on your Shield and press your remotes mic button after the device restarts. From there, youre ready to sit back and relax with the help of your Assistant.
NVIDIA Shield users can update to Google Assistant immediately. In addition, theyll get a free three-month YouTube Red for ad-free videos and music.
Voice control and Google Cast capabilities is now available in a single device. And that means it can help overcome what I see as Chromecasts biggest problem, its lack of a remote control. Obviously, Android TV devices do have remotes. But Im wondering now if this capability could come to some future Chromecast models too.
