A:AnswerAnytime you use any online streaming service on DishNet, it will consume much more of your valuable bandwidth. As a satellite service, DishNet provides you with a capacity maximum per day/month, and is really designed for a normal browsing experience. As soon as you use it for music and/or video streaming, your GB capacity will be quickly zapped!
A:AnswerIt does not matter what store you purchase Google Home from. You use the free Home app on your smart device to set up Google Home. After that, you just interact with Google Home using your voice.
A:AnswerFrom Google:
"What does this warranty cover and how long does it last? Google warrants that a new Google Home device (including any ancillary parts that may be packaged with it) will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use in accordance with Google’s published user documentation for one year from the date of original retail purchase in its original packaging by you. If a Google Home has been refurbished, Google warrants that the Google Home (including any ancillary parts that may be packaged with it) will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use in accordance with Google's published user documentation for ninety days from the original date of retail purchase by you (these warranties are collectively referred to as our “Limited Warranty”)."
A:AnswerYou download the Google Home app from the Google Play Store or the iTunes App Store on to your smart phone or tablet. Launch the Google Home app and sign in with your Google account. Plug in the Google Home device, and the Home app will discover the device. I remember that you answer a couple of questions, such as which WiFi router to connect to and which streaming music service you prefer (Google Play Music, Spotify, Pandora). The Home app will then guide you through a couple of interactions with the Google Home device to get you started. You interact with Google Home by using your voice. You start with the wake up phrase (either "Ok, Google" or "Hey, Google"), and then you can ask it a question or give it a command. It can tell you about upcoming events in your Google Calendar, tell you about your local weather, play music, add items to a shopping list that you will then find in the Google Keep app on your smart phone, and if you have certain other smart devices in your home, such as a Nest Learning Thermostat, it can interact with those devices as well (turning up the temperature). The nice thing about Google Home is that it is just a microphone and speaker device. All of the smarts for the device reside on Google's servers. So, as Google makes improvements to the Google Home services, you will be able to benefit from those improvements.
A:AnswerYou could use this with Pandora and iHeartRadio which are free . Even with youtube, you'll have to bear with the ads, but this will still play from YouTube without the subscription. But if you're already on Amazon prime, getting echo or echo dot might be a better idea as it uses Amazon prime music which comes bundled with prime subscription.
A:AnswerOne of the things I use it for is to play music, if paired with Pandora. I can ask Google to play any genre saved on my Pandora. You can adjust the volume of the music simply by asking.
A:AnswerIt plays individual tracks and playlists you create in Google Play Music. It can also stream from Pandora, Spotify, and YouTube Music, as long as you have an active account with the corresponding service.
A:AnswerI have 3 Google Home devices and a chromecast audio connected to a powered speaker. Everything plays just fine sending the audio to one two three or four speakers in any combination, The only problem I have found is it does not support casting podcasts to multiple speakers yet. The way I've found around that is to play the podcast on my android phone with the Pocketcast app and from within that app I can cast to whatever configuration I have for the speakers so that works fine that way. When I tell a Google Home to play a certain podcast to all speakers it says "sorry I can';t do that yet" so I would think it would be enabled in a future update. With just music you can tell Google Home to play whatever genre of music you want from Youtube, Pandora or Google music and it works just fine, Google Home also supports broadcasting from Spotify but only the subscription service, not the free service and I don't have a Spotify subscription so I haven't been able to try that but I would expect it would work as well as the other three..
A:AnswerYou can always order it from somewhere else including the Google Store which has more than a 15 day return policy especially during the holidays.
A:AnswerNo, or at least not yet. It will play music from Pandora, Spotify, Google Play Music, YouTube and Tunein. You could play music on your phone and then cast it to the Home (it acts like a Chromecast Audio), but it won't play from iTunes or Apple Music on its own.
