TL;DR
- The Android TV interface has removed the Discover tab and replaced it with a new “Free” tab.
- As the name suggests, the new “Free” tab offers free movies, TV shows, and live channels in one convenient location.
- We spotted the change on an old Android TV projector, but it’s something newer Android TV devices are either already seeing or will receive soon.
- The contents of the outgoing Discover tab, i.e., recommendations and watchlist, have been rolled into the Home tab.
Google has effectively killed off the Discover tab on the Android TV interface. In place of Discover, you will now see a new “Free” tab that brings together free movies, TV shows, and live channels in one place.
