Google's device will carry another company's brand, but will be powered by Google's new Android TV software designed to play movies, games and other content on TVs. Users will be able to control the box using Android smartphones or tablets, and potentially other devices. The new TV platform is expected to include a focus on video games, including support for games that work seamlessly between mobile devices and TVs and split-screen services.
