4.0 out of five stars A bit overpriced, but a good product and big possible, October 27, 2010
By Shawn W. Hall (San Francisco, CA) See all my reviews () This review is from: Logitech Revue friend Box with Google TV and Keyboard Controller (Electronics) Logitech Revue friend Box with Google TV and Keyboard Controller

While I think the price point should have been closer to $200, I’m in general pleased with Google TV, using the Logitech Revue box and keyboard. I’m an Android phone user also and the OS used in Google TV is alike. The set up was easy and intuitive. One note: You do need an HDTV, high speed internet (wired or wireless), and a cable box with HDMI cable inputs to take full benefit of all Google TV has to offer. And while the box comes with one HDMI cable, you’ll need at least another. I’m not totally sold on using the keyboard to control the DVR, though it’s possible. There’s a free Harmony app for Android phones (iPhone coming soon, I believe) that’s an added bonus.

I will not be to get rid of my laptop, but will be using it a whole lot less! If you use the internet for games, Facebook, searching, shopping, photos, videos, etc., then having fast access to that using the full Google Chrome browser while in your living room, is a no brainer. I enjoy the integration of my DVR content with internet searching, if I search for “Desperate Housewives” it shows me not only my recordings on the DVR, forthcoming shows in the guide, also as related websites and other references. Neat. I like the Pandora application so I can listen to music through my stereo, surf the web, and watch the local news in picture in picture, all now.

I look forward to having more application alternatives (Google is aggressively pursuing developers to create apps for Google TV like they do for the Android Marketplace). I think a basic app they should included out of the box is Weather.Com to swiftly pull up the local forecast. When an app market is available and as other improvements are added (updates over the internet), this will soon become the perfect product, till then, it is fun and I am happy to have it!

UPDATE: 8/1/11 happy to see the price drop to $99.99 (even though I paid 3x that much). This lower price point with the forthcoming update to the OS inside a month or two, should make this a no brainer. Check it out!

5.0 out of five stars majority of people do not know how to use it., June 14, 2011
By Amazon.Buyer “"Never argue with an idiot.. (MA) See all my reviews This review is from: Logitech Revue friend Box with Google TV and Keyboard Controller (Electronics) I have had the revue for five months now and newly the revue hdmi output died (not the boxes fault..it happened throughout a surge that came from the cable box which also killed the hdmi switch at the revue output.Trust me I know exactly what went wrong). I can not begin to explain how you miss it after you started using it for a while. Just your tv isn’t the same anymore without it.

First off I want to deal with an issue I have seen on reviews with Netflix. I use netflix on Xbox 360, PS3, PC and the revue. The revue interface has everything you have through a pc with full search functionality and easy use. The xbox and PS3 are far behind. The only reason people jumped to conclusions about this is because there are two choices to watch netflix. One is on the left menu which is sort fo a preview of netflix and the other is to go to Applications >Netflix and launch the dedicated netflix application. Thats when you have the full shown app. As for quality the revue is at par with the PS3 as the top two. The xbox for many reason decides to lower my quality at times caused by bandwidth. This never happens with the PS3 or the revue.

Second I want to deal with the concern people have about blocked video websites. This has nothing to do with the revue. This is caused by sites like hulu blocking android from accessing their content because they want to charge for this. If this bothers you, don’t complain to logitech or google, but to the FCC. Tell them to take action because they’re allowing sites to block content to charge. This should be illegal. The fake messages you get from hulu saying we’re working on bringing hulu to android just means they’re “working” on a monthly plan and hulu plus app.

Next ill address the mentions of connecting a pc to your tv to get the same or better results. The convenience of just having the web access at just the push of a button without needing to get up connect your laptop or having a dedicated pc for this function isn’t comparable. Just think of watching a movie, to get that brain freeze of where you saw that actor before, pausing your film, clicking the search button on your keyboard and checking on imdb in an instant , then resuming your film. You cant accomplish this with a dedicated pc or bringing your laptop to your tv. Not to talk about that not all tv’s have a vga input, not all laptops have an hdmi output. Plus the revue is a tiny box that fits right beside your home theater setup without any bulky pc beside it (even a shuttle is bulky in comparison).

Other benefits I have. Streaming my media from my networked PC’s to the revue. I just power up any pc in the house that holds the media I want and gets shared (windows seven and windows media center make it rather easy..even though im not a MS fan..but thats how it is). Use the logitech media player app and it’ll see any networked device sharing media. Pictures, music or videos. You may be able to use one of the two usb ports to connect an external hard drive with media and it supports a large range of formats.

Another issue people mentioned is the difficulty browsing websites. I noticed this primarily with scrolling. The on board mouse and buttons don’t make this easy. But you may be able to connect any wireless mouse and use that. It makes a big difference. I have a logitech wireless trackball mouse and that’s a perfect friend for web browsing. Many sites that are flash heavy may be a bit slow and jumpy but the fact that you may view them right on your tv with such ease makes a big difference. The trackball is great since I don’t have to move the mouse around. I just hold it beside me on the sofa. I also love that I can go to youtube and show friends any youtube video right there on my tv without having to open up a laptop and everyone crouching in front of it. The youtube app offers the “leanback” experience but I’m not really a fan of that.

Another great feature is how you may be able to customize the keyboard to any functions of your different remotes that aren’t fitted by default. As an example i chose “fn” key and “I” for tv input source and “fn” and “1″ to scroll through my favorites list on my cable box.

I really can go on and on about the features. The more you look into it and customize it (bookmarks, keys, websites etc), the more you find to love. Not to talk about that Honeycomb was declared for the revue to be coming this summer. I cant wait to see what that’s like.

Finally I have to talk about Logitech buyer support. They start off with the normal simple questions for .Lets say “inexperienced” users but once you recognize yourself as a tech they treat you professionally and assist you all the way. They offered a substitute unit, sent me a UPS return label free of charge shipping, I sent them an email once I dropped it off at a UPS place and they shipped the substitute before receiving the faulty one. Granted this whole procedure is taking me a week without my revue.And the weekend went by without it which killed me since I use it so much for everything.But as I said, useful, understanding and honestly, Ive dealt with them before and some number of other buyer service departments of many reputable businesses and Logitech is at the top of the list.

So in general, I think that the bad reviews come from people who either don’t know how to completely use their revue, or expected something the revue isn’t. Its and addition to your home theater setup that enhances it with some number of features and I feel this is the future of tv.Google knows what its doing. You may be able to bash them all you want..but that’s the plain simple truth. I greatly recommend this buy..especially now that its dropped to 200 bucks..Im considering to get a second one for my bedroom tv.

4.0 out of five stars Works well and excedeed most of my expectations, October 24, 2010
By Sriraj Rajaram (New Jersey, USA) See all my reviews
(REAL NAME) This review is from: Logitech Revue friend Box with Google TV and Keyboard Controller (Electronics) Background: I have AT&T U Verse 200, a Sharp 37″ LCD tv, Bose Cinemate Series II speakers and I have a DVD player and an iPod dock connected to my TV. I have generally wanted something that enables concurrent content download from the internet on my TV but never projected Google TV to replace my standard cable connection. At most, I projected to stop paying the extra 10$ I shell out every month for HBO access.

Setup: Bought the device from Best purchase and setup took about 20 25 minutes as the system had to download many updates from the internet. In general the setup is dummy evidence the device automatically detected my wireless internet and took care of many things on own except for regular inputs on place, cable provider etc.I give it five stars for easy use and setup

Initial impression: I have been using the device for three days now and am impressed enough. I’m first from India and have been able to watch Indian programming on my TV through YouTube. Also, my Netflix subscription lets me to watch streaming videos of high quality on my TV. Are there glitches and hiccups yes! But nothing that you wouldnt find in a 1st generation product and nothing that wont be ironed out over time. When Android 1st came out people complained many now its catching up with IOS as the operating system of choice for phones patience is key with new technology.

It took me a while to figure out many basics as the manual is pretty much oriented towards basic setup and configuration. For example, I realized that the trackpad lets scrolling of windows if you use two fingers instead of 1. One big advantage is that the box connects to my AT&T set top box also as my TV and helped eliminate both remote controls. I’m guessing that if I have an A/V receiver I could also eliminate my DVD remote.

Like other reviews mentioned the apps are thin but I expect that to grow again, patience people.

Cons The price is a bit high in comparison to Apple TV and while I don’t favor either Google or Apple over the other, more apps and content needs to be enabled to justify this price tag. $299 is a bit high to get a web browser on my TV.

BTW this review is being typed using the Logitech Revue keyboard connected to my TV. I’ll be taking this device to India afterward this winter to see if the device works well over there and can enable larger content access for my family.

All in all, I recommend this product to those who are wanting to improve their TV looking at experience not replace their Cable or Satellite provider. The same may be said about Apple TV also the business is still 3 4 years from being totally web oriented.
