While you can still cast to this like the original chromecast the new chromecast TV is more like a fully integrated viewing platform. It puts all your subscriptions in one place once you do the initial setup. For me I have Youtube, Netflix, Prime TV, and some Local TV apps (but so much more to choose from if you subscribe to them). When I turn on the remote power it powers up the tv and goes to the Chrome TV homepage where it shows your apps, and what you watched on them. You can talk into the remote to search across all platforms for a specific movie and show who has it and if its free or $. Its much more than just a casting device.

The main difference between Chromecast and Chromecast with Google TV is that Chromecast is a streaming media device that allows users to play online content from your phone or tablet and plugs into any TV or monitor with an HDMI port and doesn’t have any apps (it just receives content). Chromecast with Google TV on the other hand, it has an internal storage where you can download and run apps and games. It offers sharper 4K picture quality and access to tons of apps without having to cast them from your phone or tablet. Plus, Chromecast with Google TV includes a Voice Remote.
