    I bought this so I could watch Spectrum cable on my Insignia Fire TV. I still can't load the Spectrum app, but I can start Spectrum on my Visible phone and then "cast" it to the TV. The phone is the n the controller. Not what I planned, but I'm glad I had the android phone and it works.

    This version of Chromecast was very simple to set up, including setting up the TV power switch. It prompted for streaming services I use and added them seamlessly. I am very happy with this new version that includes Google TV.

    Falls short of a true cord cutter device.

    I wish it would default to a TV Service. We pay for YouTube TV, but this device always opens to the menu instead of Live TV. I want to be a cord cutter, but my DirecTV box is for TV, this device is also for TV. Default to LiveTV and let me go to a a menu to watch netflix, or whatever other streaming service I want. But please, I want a "Default To:" option to choose my live TV service.

    Disappointing Performance

    I tried the Chromecast 4K, hoping it would be a solid addition to my streaming setup, but it left me disappointed. The device was noticeably slower compared to other streaming options like Apple TV, with laggy menu navigation and delayed responses when opening apps. While the picture quality was good, the overall sluggish performance made it frustrating to use, especially when switching between apps or content. For the price, it’s a decent option for those on a budget, but if you’re used to the snappiness of devices like Apple TV, this may not be the best choice. I ended up returning it and sticking with what worked better for me.

    Stopping Satellite

    I have been using Chromecast to view different streaming services and it has worked well so far. I have found one streaming service that shows older tv shows that I like to watch and have signed up for it. I will be turning of the satellite tv service as soon as I find a streaming service that has local tv stations on it.

    Love it for the Google ecosystem. I was initially looking for an original Chromecast (without the Roku-like interface). However, this has been more than pleasurable to work with and stream with, and I would recommend it if looking into devices for streaming from android mobile devices.

    Pretty good, if you need an upgrade to an older TV for Streaming and App purposes, then this is the way to go. Very Very Very simple and easy to use. Also very easy to loose the controller. It's so tiny to what we are used to ✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧

    Ok so I've used almost every streamer system out there and this is the best looking and actually fastest one. The other one is the Apple TV but it costs $100 more and honestly just for $50 here you are getting a lot of value. It's perfect with Chromecast support and basically all the video formats out there. I took off one star because I liked the "apps-only mode" but it disables search and google assistant and... there's no way I am getting rid off that. Basically, there is no way to customize the home screen.

    Best add-on device ever!

    I like this device better than the built in smart features that came with the TV. It's absolutely faster no question about it. Since it's Google you have access to all the apps available (some devices block streaming services from competitors). Easy to add apps and then access them. It boots up fast, it launches apps fast, and it starts playing content fast. Love it.

    Device itself is great. Picture quality is perfect. *Remote is aweful, it slips from your hand, buttons are in a weird layout. I would recommend but also recommend a universal remote at time of purchase.

    This device is amazing, I already had the Chromecast device and was using it on my TV, it has some glitches and other issues so when I saw this come along I decided I would try it out. This is like Apple but so much more and a very friendly user. Once you are set up you have every channel at your fingertips and the rest of it is just a voice search away. Great product
