It is dead. But Google are required to meet their OTA promise. 2 years for major updates, 3 years for security updates.

I've been running the beta - which is a terrible idea on a day-to-day Nexus Player. It does not prompt you for updates - it just updates. This is fine if you're on a stable channel. This is not great when it's your primary entertainment resource on a beta channel.

However, it's pretty nice? I know it has some added features but it doesn't really feel much different in 7 than it did in 6. I haven't had a chance to use PiP or anything like that.

A lot of love went into player for N. It's in better shape than in M.

This makes me want to buy one to replace my ADT-1...which is not easy to do these days.

I sure hope there is a future for standalone Android TV boxes that aren't as expensive and large as the Shield.

I'm still awaiting my updates to my Google TV!
