Unlock Hidden Speed Boosts for Your Google TV

Google TV devices can sometimes struggle with performance issues due to outdated hardware. However, there are some hidden settings that can help improve speed and make the experience more enjoyable.

One of these tricks is switching to 'Apps-only mode' in Settings (gear icon) -> Accounts & Sign In -> [your profile] -> Apps only mode. This will remove all promoted and recommended content from the homescreen, allowing users to quickly access their favorite apps without any unnecessary loading times.

Another setting that can help is limiting background processes. By enabling Developer Options (Settings -> System -> About) and going to System -> Developer Options -> Background process limit, users can set a limit on how many processes run in the background at the same time.

Finally, users with older TVs may benefit from uninstalling unused apps. Going to Settings -> Apps -> See all apps will help identify large-footprint apps that are taking up valuable storage space. Uninstalling these apps can free up internal shared storage and reduce stuttering.
