bwone.com twitter.com In our ongoing review of Google TV we go through the Setup process once we have it plugged in. Interesting setup that you may have to do twice!?! Read on to find out what that means. Google TV setup is actually pretty simple and straight forward for the most part. You get the basic questions that you would normally get if you ever setup a set-top box before. Basic information such as TV screen area, cable provider, and IR codes for your TV and cable box are all asked and pretty easy to do. Since I have this hooked up through a TiVo Premiere the IR codes were not necessarily there as it only would give codes for Comcast and would not let you type your own. However I was able to find that IR code 40739 worked with my TiVo. The interesting kicker is when you connect the box to the internet. There is an immediate update that is required to download before you can move on though the rest of the setup. The download takes about 10 minutes to finish before it asks you to restart so it can install. Once you do it takes about another 20 minutes before its completed and I actually had to manually reboot the device before it came up again and when it came back up all the settings were erased and I was back to the initial setup window. This is really weird and takes the setup all out of wack and makes it not as smooth and it should be. But once you enter your information again for the 2nd time the rest of the process will flow through and you will need to restart ...
