Sony NSZ-GS7 Google TV

 

More Info Sony's second try at Google TV brings Blu-ray player, streaming box and a new remote Google TV goes international, Sony NSZ-GS7 set-top box up for preorder in the US and UK Google TV officially switching to ARM, Marvell Armada 1500 CPU to...

One of the best QWERTY remotes for the HT ever ; Noticeably faster than older Google TVs ; HDMI-CEC, 3D and 24p output

Price is steep compared to other streamers ; Google TV ecosystem is still unproven

The NSZ-GS7 is probably the best way add the Google TV experience to your existing TV, but Google still has a way to go before it deserves to be a fixture in most living rooms.

Sony Internet Player With Google TV (NSZ-GS7)

 

The Sony Internet Player With Google TV (NSZ-GS7) is one of the better ways to get Google TV on your HDTV, even if the platform itself still suffers from a lack of polish.

Well-designed remote. Plenty of functionality. Lots of online services and apps.

Not as polished or intuitive as other media hubs. Finding good apps requires combing through many not-so-great ones.

Conclusion Two years after Google launched Google TV, it still lags behind Apple and Roku's media hubs . The Sony Internet Player is an affordable and attractive upgrade over Sony's previous Google TV products, but it's still limited by Google TV's...

Review: Sony NSZ-GS7 with Google TV

 

Two years after the disastrous Logitech Revue, Google returns for another stab at internet TV, this time partnering with Sony on a standalone box. We can say one thing for sure: With a sleek remote, zippy processor, and fetching (for a streaming...

Sony NSZ-GS7 review

 

Google TV has always been an ambitious idea. In its ideal form, you'd be able to access all your home theater content -- including your cable/satellite box, streaming video services and content from the Web -- in a single user interface, powered by...

The Sony NSZ-GS7 has a vastly improved, double-sided remote for Google TV, with a large touch pad and a full keyboard. It's a small, stylish box and the only current set-top box that supports Google TV.

The Google TV software continues to disappoint. There aren't dedicated apps for major streaming services like Amazon Instant, Hulu Plus, and MLB.TV, nor is Google's own movie rental service supported. Major content providers like ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox,...

The Sony NSZ-GS7 has sleek hardware and an innovative remote, but it's hampered by the still too-limited and frustrating Google TV software.

Sony NSZ-GS7 Internet Player With Google TV

 

When I decided to review two Google TV media streamers back to back, I thought there would be little difference between them. After all, Google TVs run on an Android platform, and both the Sony Internet Player with Google TV and Vizio's Co-Star would...

Sony NSZ-GS7 Google TV Internet Player

 

Sony is out to revolutionise your TV with its first Google TV add-on box. Or maybe not.

YouTube app is gorgeous ; Streaming quality is good ; Remote control keyboard is responsive

Nowhere near enough dedicated apps ; Extensive reliance on open internet doesn't make for a comfortable user experience ; Current firmware is buggy

It’s also worth adding here that we opted not to make the Google TV remote capable of operating our TV and AV receiver, even though the option for this is there. Why? Because frankly using the remote just for doing all the Google TV stuff is...
