Dear Google TV
I purchased my first "Smart TV" running Google TV. I discovered this product is incredibly hostile to someone who wishes to control what is displayed on their family TV.
If you use it as a "Basic TV", it de-activates the Chromecast software which to-date we have used as both a picture frame and video cast.
If you use it as "Google TV", there is no way to completly remove "recommendations" that are displayed on the "home" screen, and there is no way to display Chromecast ambient mode by default when you start a TV or switch between inputs. The "app-only" mode still displays recommendations (ads) and doesn't show the library, which would be useful for children to choose and control their own shows.
Please do the following:
* Add an Option to add "Chromecast" to an "Input": HDMI1, HDMI2, Chromecast
* Add an Option to only show Library on home screen.
* Add an Option to opt-in to everything shown in the Library.
