Google's Gemini integration into Google TV has caused widespread search failures, where pressing the mic button loops back to the Gemini setup screen instead of returning results. The issue stems from a mismatch between Gemini's cloud-based model and Google TV's local content discovery system. Three workarounds are shared: rolling back the Google TV app update via Settings > Apps, disabling auto-updates to prevent the broken version from reinstalling, and turning off Gemini for TV under Settings > Privacy > Voice Assistant to stop it from hijacking voice input.
