Google has requested that TV makers not make Google TV related product announcements at next month's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

According to The New York Times, which broke the story last week, Google wants to "refine the software, which has received a lukewarm reception." The newspaper cited similar delays in Android-related tablets whose debuts have been pushed into the future, adding: "Industry analysts also say Google's sudden change of plans reflects a weakness in the company's business culture around managing relationships with partners."

In addition to current Google TV products from Sony and Logitech, Samsung will show a Google TV at CES. But the Times says LG, Sharp, and Toshiba will not. No others were raising their heads above the parapet at presstime.
