Google TV is a popular streaming platform that not only offers a wide variety of apps but also includes several lesser-known features that can significantly enhance user experience. One such feature is apps-only mode, which simplifies the home screen by displaying only the selected apps, eliminating unwanted recommendations. For those who prefer some recommendations, personalization options are available to tailor suggestions based on chosen streaming services. Another interesting feature is Ambient mode, which allows users to display artwork or personal photos when not actively streaming, turning the TV into a gallery. Additionally, users can easily locate a misplaced remote with the 'Find my remote' function, which emits a sound to help locate it. Lastly, for users seeking a more traditional viewing experience, basic mode can be enabled to limit functionality to live TV and connected devices, effectively turning the smart TV into a 'dumb TV'. These features make Google TV a versatile platform catering to different viewing preferences.
