Loading and response times have been reduced
Google has released an update to the Google TV platform to address user complaints about slow performance and lagging recommendations.
Improvements include optimized loading of recommendations, reduced memory usage, faster app loading times, and improved navigation.
Many system applications have been further simplified to make them «easier». All of these changes combine to optimize memory usage and make overall navigation smoother. As the developers promise, application loading times have been reduced, allowing you to open and load content much faster.
We've improved the response time of many Home screen features, including preloading movies and shows. Tab loading has been optimized and search results should also load faster. Finally, the company says it «has made settings changes to reduce the size of pre-installed apps you don't use».
