"Android TV" is literally any smart TV that runs Android with Google's blessing. Analogous with "Android phone".

Chromecast with Google TV is more in line with Apple TV, FireTV, and the now discontinued Nexus TV.




I'm totally confused. So I have an Nvidia Shield that I bought a few years back.

How is this different?


Nvidia Shield is in direction competition with Chromecast with Google TV.

Usually, the actual TVs that run Android are marketed as "Android TVs". It looks like streaming devices like Nvidia Sheild do so too when they're in fact not "Android TVs".
