Unlike Samsung, which is switching to it’s own homegrown OS on its TVs, Sony is going the other direction and adopting Google’s open Android TV platform.

Google announced Android TV back at I/O in June 2014 and Sony adopting the OS for direct integration is a huge win for the company’s second attempt at creating a TV platform.
