Google TV is experiencing issues where some movies no longer show purchase options, leaving users with only streaming choices.
This comes after the platform removed the ability to buy TV episodes and seasons in 2024, redirecting users to the YouTube app for TV show purchases.
Although Google assured that movie purchases would remain unaffected, many users have noticed that older movies, especially from Disney franchises like Star Wars and Toy Story, now only display streaming options like Disney+.
However, if searched on the YouTube app, these movies are still available for purchase or rent.
While newer films like Inside Out 2 continue to show purchase options, this issue seems to be a catalog or directory bug, rather than a deliberate removal of movie purchase features.
Google TV still offers a solid movie-watching experience, and the problem primarily affects Disney titles and a few other studios with exclusive streaming rights.
