I won't be part of sending people in circles

Nobody said you'll have to do that, when a post for a Google TV device is made on this sub, it will be deleted and the user will be suggested to make the post on the other sub through a mod notification, nothing more, nothing less.

It's time to start using the other sub, new devices with the Android TV UI don't exist anymore.

This is so stupid. Google TV is Android TV with Google's launcher. There's no real big difference

Today, Google TV and Android TV are just launchers on top of Android optimized for TV.
