What sounds regarding to Google TV customers is that there’s no confirmed method to cover or disable the short-video row. Moreover, Google hasn’t addressed how commercials throughout the feed are dealt with, or whether or not they fall below parental controls.
To me, the combination sounds much less about comfort and extra about increasing the promoting territory.
