Vizio Co-Star update brings new Google TV UI, native Amazon and Vudu

Vizio's [Co-Star hub](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/19/vizio-co-star-review/) is still one of the cheapest points of entry into the Google TV world, so it's comforting to see the set-top box getting an update -- albeit somewhat behind Google's own pace. The previously promised release mostly focuses on giving it the [third-generation Google TV](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/14/google-tv-voice-search-primetime-quick-guide/) interface, including the mini-guide, YouTube pairing and (through a future Android app update) voice-guided search. Viewers on the prowl for more content get a few additional perks through new apps for M-Go and [Vudu](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Vudu/) video streaming, as well as a truly native Amazon [Instant Video](http://www.engadget.com/tag/InstantVideo/) app. Should Vizio's tiny media center inhabit your living room, you can expect the upgrade to arrive over the air within the next few weeks.
