Project mention: Ask HN: What are some good apps to have in Android TV | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-09

VLC is good for radio streams...but you must use http not https URLs (otherwise it doesn't display tags)
go-chromecast for watching Youtube without commercials. Also for casting video files
Built-in Screensaver is nice...
Spotify is great on big screen when TV is connected to decent stereo. My favourite way to listen to music recently..
Sometimes I watch Bloomberg using its app.
I generally keep Google TV in "Apps only" mode... Down to bare minimum.
