Rating: 3.5/5 (or 3/5 for strict TV users) The Good 1. Interface Cleanup Version 7.5.08 finally brings a more consistent layout to Android TV. The top navigation bar (Games, Apps, Subscriptions) feels more responsive, and the “Updates pending” section is now easier to find without digging into settings.
Sideloading via this version is less aggressive. It no longer immediately blocks non-Play Store updates if you have “Unknown sources” enabled — just a single warning then proceeds. google play store (android tv 7.5 08 apk)
Scrolling through screenshots and descriptions is noticeably smoother. Google seems to have trimmed some heavy JavaScript layers. On a Shield TV Pro (2019), the stutter is almost gone. Rating: 3
