Googlehas announced a new tab forAndroidTV that will make movie renting and purchasing easier, along with accessing already bought content.
The Shop tab is coming toAndroid TV systemsaround the world soon - having started to roll out in the US already. It might take a while to get to your country and specific Android TV model though.
The new Shop tab also houses a Your Library rail, which will show all your purchases in the one place. That will include any bought content from third-party stores, plus YouTube and other Google TV and Android TV devices.
Over the coming weeks, the Shop tab will be available via an over-the-air update to Android TV devices. That includes TV models from the likes ofSonyand Philips (in the UK). We’re hoping it’ll also be added to theNvidia Shield TV Proand other Android TV set-top-boxes and dongles, although that will likely be up to the individual manufacturer as some have customised system software.
It could well be the last feature push before Google starts to roll out Android TV 14. Currently in beta, the next major Android TV update will bring with it a stack of new features, including easier pairing of headphones, new accessibility options, more advanced display modes, and a stack of other tweaks.

It’s not yet known when the full release of Android TV 14 might become available - and TV manufacturers may take even longer to push it to their sets. Indeed, some, such as Philips in the UK, might take the opportunity to adopt the Google TV platform instead.
