Android TV reports 100+ partners (doubling yearly), ~30 pay‑TV operators with 50 more, and the Play Store grows from ~25 apps in 2014 to ~4,000 now. Home UI exposes channels and rich programs via a support library, ExoPlayer previews, and the INITIALIZE_PROGRAMS intent for automatic channel setup. Assistant integrates via MediaSession and a search content provider. Android P improves performance and setup; Autofill and Play Auto Installs simplify onboarding. New hardware: JBL Link Bar (3 HDMI in, optional subwoofer) and developer dongle ADT-2.
