  • Android phones now automatically show a notification for Google TV setup.
  • App installs have been improved so you can “start using your device sooner and worry less about running out of storage.”
  • You’ll be able to connect to your home devices more quickly.

The time it takes to set up Google TV isn’t all that long, but it could always be a little faster. To speed up the process, Google is making some changes that should make the setup faster and easier than before.

In a blog post, Google announced a few ways it’s improving the Google TV setup process. The first change will remove the need to download an app. Instead, Android phones will automatically show a notification when you start the TV setup process. For iPhone owners, you won’t get a notification, but a QR code will show up on the screen for you to scan.
