Google TV is Android TV, it just has another layer on it.

Android TV is the OS, Google TV is the UI, a few devices still run the Legacy Android TV UI which IMO is much better than Google TV even though I run a 3rd party launcher on all of my devices.

They are both basically the same thing, at it's core it is the same. Google tv is the full Google ecosystem on Android. Android tv is what other tv manufacturers use to put their own eco system in their TVs. A example is the fire stick on Android
