Side note: in case you didn't know, Google TV kind of solves the problem of having to go through every streaming app to find which one has the desired programme with a universal search. I just got it and find it useful.

But then multiple services, like NowTV for example, don't support Google TV but do support Amazom Fire for some reason.

Piracy for convenience happens again.

That's handy. Hopefully it stays universal - if they started charging a fee to streaming services to be included in the search we'd be back to square one.

As far as I'm aware, it's just Google Search underneath but with telly included. I doubt they'll charge for inclusion but do expect ads.
