Google TV is also Android with modifications to run on TVs. https://developers.google.com/tv/android/docs/gtv_documentat...

I think this is just a rebranding to distance Android TV from the failure that was Google TV. I'm taking bets on what the name of the next revision will be when Android TV fails.



I think the difference is Google TV was built by the Youtube division, Android TV was built by the Android division.
