The Logitech Revue was one of the first Google TV box to hit the market and it is now the first Google TV box to get a Android Honeycomb update! It’s an unofficial update but now that the Logitech Revue price has dropped to $99 how can you resist getting one? Note that is not a leaked version of the official Honeycomb but rather a beta version so you will experience bugs etc. but it’s worth a try if you just want to experiment.

You can download the Honeycomb update for the Logitech Revue @ http://www.load2all.com/files/BE2FD2F97/1b3a6b1aa9fd.mp-signed-ota_update-b55579.zip.html.
Then follow these instructions to install Android Honeycomb on your Logitech Revue Google TV box [from GTVHacker]:
Copy the update.zip to a Fat32 formatted USB drive, place it in its root (ie /mnt/usb/update.zip or E:\update.zip)
Plug USB drive into Revue. Fully unplug revue. Plug it back in, count to One (a long one, say one mississippi), then hold down the connect button (keep it held). The Revue logo will come up, and the box will reboot, your tv will lose signal, and come back to the Revue logo. At this point, let go of the button.
The GTV logo will then show up, with an arrow and a horizontal "barbershop scroll". At this point, on your Revue's keyboard, press the FN key (in yellow) and the left arrow (to the left of the OK button). It will then come up to a recovery menu.
Hit "Apply update from sdcard:/update.zip"
The box will verify the update, and reboot. This is normal. It is installing an updated bootloader and recovery image (both, heavily encrypted).
Then, the box will come back on, and flash the latest kernel and system files. Once this is done, the box will reboot again.
