All I want to know is:

  1. Can I watch Twitch streams on it?
  2. Does it have a built in browser, I can watch videos from non-app services on?

I've been using roku for what feels like 15 to 20 years. I'm finally ready to buy an Apple TV just to be able to watch Twitch on it. If Google TV Streamer either has an official Twitch app, or can install normal android apps, like the Twitch app from the play store, and has a web browser that can play videos from standard websites, I am sold.

If someone has, or buys a streamer, please let me know with a reply.

It's just an Android device technically, which means you can probably break into it

my Chromecast with Google TV has the regular twitch app. I've never used it and the reviews are bad, but it's there
