It says a lot about those companies, doesn't it. I can't believe both NVIDIA and Google would allow such an unreliable (and poorly designed) device to go out the door. Unacceptable! I probably should have returned it immediately, but I didn't. I paid $200, AND had to fix THEIR problems? ![]() Too many problems right out of the box that I was forced to research and fix on my own. The video quality is like what you would expect from a normal HD channel. Here's a little tip for the GUI designer at Google, Why not paint the in-focus button GREEN? The user can easily distinguish which button is in-focus, PLUS there is less shifting of the screen contents. Additionally, I learned that when multiple buttons are available, the in-focus button is the larger one, but it's only larger by a little bit. This is disruptive and confusing to the user experience. Showing/Hiding on-screen buttons based on where the 'cursor' is currently is bad design (the user has to move to an item, then scan the entire screen to see what changed, and do this for each menu), and causes the screen to expand and contract so the necessary button(s) can be displayed. I'm not sure what features or functionality I lost by doing this.Īlso, Google needs a smarter GUI designer. After searching the internet for hours, someone suggested turning off various settings, I did, and so far the black-screen problem has not returned. This happened whether I was in the menus or watching a program. I pulled the plug, powered it up, and it seemed to be fine, until the screen would periodically go completely black for a few seconds.

After an hour, I tried to power off the device via the remote, but that didn't work. ![]() First, it wanted to apply software updates, but this left me with a red spinning circle on the screen.
