A:AnswerIt is more easier with google tv. I used to have chromecast before, then I bought this Google TV, perfect works on samsung with HD and 4K quality. I am sure you will enjoy it as well.
A:AnswerNo. To be able to control the Sony Bravia TV with Android with the Chromecast with Google TV remote, the HDMI dongle needs to be plugged in to the TV as it is through HDMI port that the remote gets programmed to be able to control it. Remote itself is not a programmable stand-alone Universal Remote Control. I hope this makes sense.
A:AnswerThere is a new service/app called Locast (I'm not affiliated in anyway) that is moving to many markets and streams local live OTA channels in a nice menu style channel guide. If you have Sling (and maybe other TV services) it will integrate into their menu so you never have to leave Sling for streaming or locals. This is also a subscription service, but only $5/month - Donation. So long story short, there is not a antenna connection, but there are ways to get locals.

A:AnswerYou may want to check and try these steps and see if it'll resolve your concern:
- Your device(Android/iOS) and Chromecast device should be within 15 feet (4 meters) of each other. The Chromecast or TV with Chromecast built-in should be 15 feet (4 meters) away from the router, or less.
- Make sure both your Chromecast device and Android device are both connected to the same Wi-Fi network channel, either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz.
- Reboot Chromecast by unplugging it from the power source. (Disconnect from power source not from TV's HDMI port)
If the above steps don't resolve the issue, you may try to perform a factory reset. Keep in mind that when you perform a factory reset, all info or data on your Chromecast will be deleted and you'll have to re-setup after.
