Use your phone as your remote
With a remote built right into the app, you can find something great to watch even when the couch has eaten your remote. And you can use your phone’s keyboard to quickly type complicated passwords, movie names or search terms on your Google TV or other Android TV OS device.

It basically stole my money, I rented a movie 2 hours ago and have been trying to watch it. At first it was just a black screen then it went "your video expired" which makes no scence when I rented it for 3 days and it's day one. I would either like to watch my movie or a refund. This is unacceptable especially from you Google. I've done everything I can think of to rectifying it. Including the help. But to no avail. I'll edit this when you fix it google.

Hi, can you add the option that used to be there that allowed you to fill screen in? Like to view the film in widescreen without having the black bars around that makes viewing the film in a tiny box? It used to be there but you guys ruined it and removed it. And its not the zoom in option as it cuts parts off the film... Can you fix the issue with the movie is already downloaded on device but it keeps wanting you to stream it but file already saved on device? Thank you
