The For You section is the default home page, and I found it did a nice job, quickly allowing me to see what's on now from the channels I watch, resuming shows I was watching on a number of different services, and displaying movies and TV shows I might like. Below are tiles filled with content that changes depending on which tab you're in. A bar at the top features tabs for search, a personalized For You section, live TV (currently available if you subscribe to YouTube TV), as well as tabs for movies, TV shows and apps. At first glance, it's more like the menus on Amazon's Fire TV, with prominent rows of shows and movies, rather than the app-centric home pages of Roku and Apple TV.

In addition to the new name, Google has given Android TV an interface overhaul. (Google's included power brick is 7.5 watts.) It is possible that many TV USB ports, even those on sets that are just a couple of years old, won't be compatible. Google says this will vary based on your TV, with the company saying that "at least 5 watts" is the minimum requirement. The requirement of wall power, something the Roku Streaming Stick Plus and Fire TV Stick 4K don't need, wasn't an issue for me since my TV was near an empty outlet, but could be for those who have fewer open setups or want something more minimalist. The Chromecast Ultra, for instance, could still stream in HD when powered via USB, though 4K streaming required power from a proper wall adapter. Other Chromecasts were able to at least partially power the device using a TV's USB port, even if it meant certain, more power-hungry features were disabled. When I connected it to my TV via USB power, an error message appeared, instructing me to connect to the wall adapter instead. You need to use the included power brick with the Chromecast.
