androidtv.tips occupies the unowned editorial surface between the vendor marketing layer — tv.google and android.com, which carry product marketing and no dedicated Android TV / Google TV reference section — and the affiliate-content tutorial layer of how-to / jailbreak / VPN / Kodi tutorial sites. It is neither: an independent reference, not vendor marketing and not a generic affiliate tutorial site.
Every device entry, certification claim, and app listing carries a machine-emitted, per-item "last verified" stamp — a freshness signal the directory competitor (androidtv-guide.com, no per-item dates) and the vendor surfaces (tv.google, no visible publication dates) do not expose.
A dedicated, independently-published Android TV / Google TV device surface — the directory the vendor sites omit and the affiliate-content layer does not own as a reference directory. Each device entry carries a per-device "last verified" timestamp.
Freshness-dated pieces — each carrying a visible, per-page "last verified" / "last refreshed" date, addressing Gap 3 and Gap 5 directly.
