App developers know what they're getting on Apple TV or an Xbox because everyone is using the exact same OS, with roughly the same specs. With a TV it's all over the place.
Which operating systems were mentioned?
Outside of Sony (Android), Samsung (Tizen) and LG (WebOS) you're buying a dud.
Just like early smartphones with defunct systems like Symbian, BBOS, MeeGo and PalmOS.
