Its that nifty remote that comes with the Sony Android TV's with the touchpad...
I sure this would be very useful for side-loaded apps!

I'm very interested to see how Google navigates the 'Live TV' area of the Nexus Q home entertainment machine. Google TV hasn't exactly taken off as they had expected for a number of reasons - namely high price and buggy, hard to understand implementation. I'm hoping they've learned from their mistake with the Nexus Q.
Right now my home TV setup is comprised of a live TV server (Windows Media Center on Windows 7) and then an Xbox 360 running as a media center extender. This bring me live, HD TV with a great UI and total DVR functionality. It's decent, but a bit of a pain to launch the MCE App on the Xbox when you want to watch TV.
Google bought SageTV almost exactly 2 years ago. SageTV consisted of a media server running on a home PC which provides all DVR functionality, and then SageTV 'placeshifter' which allowed you to watch TV, including premium cable content with a Cablecard, to any of their supported platforms.
SageTV was java-based, which means it is wholly possible that Google could be writing it into the Android platforum and the Nexus Q would be a perfect 'Extender' device. I'm hoping that Google might be working on this as a large secret project so that they can dominate the home entertainment ecosystem.
To me this would be the 'holy grail' of home entertainment. A box that supports both on-demand content (YouTube, Netflix, Music) as well as Live TV.
Does anyone think this is possible? Would you use such a setup?
I think your looking more for a Google TV than the Nexus Q. It's strange to kind of have competing boxes but the Nexus Q seems just for streaming content and the ability to easily share from phone/tablet to your entire house depending on how many you have.
Why they just didn't ad some of these functions to the Google TV product I don't know.
But a nexus q as a front end working with say hdhome turner and feeding streams out Google tv.....god I want this, I love my htpc but I want something like android for the popularity

Hi,
I'd like to buy an Android set-top box for watching IPTV, using XBMC and use several others applications (browser/facebook/Twitter/Netflix...), but I have troubles figuring out what devices will be enough for me and what apps I will be able to use with a "classic" Android remote (not a keyboard or trackpad remote controller).
Is there a way to list in the Play Store the apps that are compatible with a remote ?
I'm also confused about the new Android TV platform and the Android TV Launcher. It seems the first will only be available on some partners new devices like Sony and requires Lollipop and the latter is available for every device running at least KitKat. Is this right ?
Is it better for me to buy now a 4.4 set-top box (the Bee-link UBox R89 seems nice), or wait for a 5.0 Android TV-certified device ?
(Sorry, no links allowed in my post, I'm a new user)
Thx
Does anybody know of a remote that can control all 3? I have all 3 devices and currently using my Note 4 to control the Roku and Chromecast but I can't navigate the Nexus Player on my phone....I can even program the note 4 to switch input devices but no it's a dead end with the NP...
There's an android TV remote app that should work with np.
Why on earth would you have a chromecast AND a Nexus player? That's like having a dvd player and another dvd player. You can cast to the nexus player.
Just get a Flirc for your nexus player, a micro usb otg cable, and program a IR universal remote for the fire tv stick (sounds funny but works, also set keyboard escape key as back or exit).
Your roku should have ir already depending on the model. Check Wikipedia search roku.
Then get a rca learning remote from Amazon.
Done deal.

I have a roku tv a nexus player and 3 chrome casts and a wdtv box and would also like to control all with one remote. Oh wait I can. My android smart phone.
As a multifunction remote control app like Apps2Fire and Fire Installer for Android TV box/Fire TV/Android TV, also have the function as Mouse Toggle for Android TV box and Fire TV.
This video does a excellent job of showing what Cetusplay is all about.
