New Report History Setting
Google TV now includes a "Report history" section within the Settings menu. This addition lets users view the status of any reports they have submitted, offering greater transparency on actions taken by Google. While the exact scope of reports isn’t fully detailed yet, the feature could soon enable tracking of flagged ads or inappropriate content recommendations.
YouTube Thumbnail Aspect‑Ratio Fix
A recent bug caused YouTube thumbnails on the Google TV home screen to display with incorrect aspect ratios, making videos appear stretched. The issue has been resolved, though it’s unclear whether the fix arrived via a server‑side update, a Google TV system update, or a YouTube app patch. Users who haven’t received the correction yet should see it roll out shortly.
Overall Impact
These updates illustrate Google’s commitment to incremental improvements despite a two‑year major OS update cycle for Google TV. While they don’t overhaul the interface, the new setting and bug fix enhance usability and demonstrate responsive support for user‑reported problems.
