Good Streaming Device
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Google Tv in my opinion is a good streaming device that has apps that currently are not on Firestick (which i also own) i received this as an early Christmas gift and have enjoyed using it.
I would recommend this to a friendMakes an old TV new again!!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worth the money! I have a 2015 Sony Bravia TV that I love but it didn't have the up to date android tv. I also couldn't get apps on board like HBO Max. I was considering getting a new tv but didn't want to spend another $1500k or more. I remembered seeing a review on the chrome cast on youtube and I was amazed. This device makes an old tv new again. Now I have google tv which looks just live android tv. Save money and turn your old tv into a new one. Worth the price of just $50 bucks.
I would recommend this to a friendBest chromecast yet!

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to setup and use. It took less than 15 minutes. Setup prompts were easy to follow.
I would recommend this to a friendGood, but not great.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This version of Chromecast would be better if it had an option to function like the original Chromecast. The setup is cumbersome with the remote. The default home page with recommendations is extremely annoying! There should be an option for the ambient screen saver to be the default, and could be resolved with an update. This option would be greatly appreciated by those of us who enjoyed the streamlined and excellent experience of using the original Chromecast with a smartphone or tablet. The current homepage and the remote are big negatives for this product, but it's as close as you can currently get to the Chromecast we all enjoyed.

I would recommend this to a friendWorth it!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.By far this is not only the best Chromecast but also, it's the best Android TV experience. It's clean and smooth. I recommend this for yourself or as a gift. Seriously tho, worth every penny
I would recommend this to a friendThe Streaming Solution I’ve been waiting for
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Can’t say enough good things about Chromecast w/Google TV. Together with a subscription to YouTube TV, I get all the good things about my current cable arrangement...typical cable channels, all my local channels, and a channel guide (yes...a real channel guide!). But I also get unlimited DVR so I can record everything I want to watch. It also seamlessly integrates my favorite streaming sites such as Netflix, Disney+, etc. so I can resume watching a show or series right from the Home Screen. Once I set this it up I never went back to my cable box. The best part is that I’m saving $150 per month by dropping cable and a landline that was only used for span calls.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat for a guest room
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great device for a guest room to make your subscription services available via remote. With the new kid features, this is also great for a kids room with self-guided access.

I would recommend this to a friendBreathe life into an old tv
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I buy these for all my friends and family who complain that their tv is slow. It really is a plug and play smart tv upgrade that will save you money in the long term because you will be able to use your older tvs more before you replace them. the one downside is there is very limited app storage on this device so if you are a streaming/media fanatic I would recommend the Nvidia shield instead.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat for Google to make advertising money.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Bluetooth connection on this is rather terrible. It's not like connecting your earbuds to a tablet or phone as far as stability goes. The audio will cut out if you are any distance from your TV. Chromecast is not designed to show you the streaming services you have so you can easily pick a show or movie. It is designed to show you what Google has been paid by your streaming services to feature. Google has hidden the streaming streaming services you subscribe to behind a lot of layers of endless clicking. You will see ads for shows first, but you have to hunt for your list of streaming services. You have scroll to the "My Apps" just to see SOME of your apps, and it's literally just one line on an entire screen and then you have to click AGAIN TO show them all. An entire TV screen is available but Google can only show me one row of apps at a time? Get out of here with that backwards coding, Google. If you side load an app it won't even show up in the My Apps section. You have to go into your account, into settings and then try to find them there. Opening up a streaming service from the home screen takes significantly longer than it should just to even get started watching a show because of all the endless layers of user interface that bury access to your list of services. My guess is this is done so Google can extract maximum advertising money for your eyeballs. You will see what Google wants you to see, not what you want to see. The other major competitor's device is significantly easier for use. Your apps will be right on the first screen on a R O K U brand device, easy to find. Not on this Chromecast disaster.

Posted .Hi Greg, thanks for sharing the details of your experience with using the Chromecast with Google TV (4K), and we’re sorry to learn your expectations are not met. We've taken note of your feedback and we’ll share it with the right team for future improvements.
Meanwhile, there could be several reasons that can affect the performance of your Chromecast and we’d like to rule out the possibility of your Wi-Fi connection being the cause of this issue. If you're willing, we suggest trying the simple steps below:
- Check for possible interference. Appliances like your microwave oven, refrigerator or even your neighbors Wi-Fi network may cause interference with your Chromecast.
- Check for possible congestion. Removing some of your connected devices may help relieve some bandwidth space and you may check if your experience will improve.
- Ensure that your Chromecast is in a line of sight with your Wi-Fi router to get the best signal strength and Wi-Fi coverage.
- Restart your router, mobile phone and Chromecast.
You may also try clearing the app cache that might help as having a sizable amount of cache stored would affect its performance. Here’s how:
- From the Google TV home screen, in the top right, go to the user profile icon and select Settings.
- Select Apps and choose the app you're having trouble with.
- If you can't find it, select See all apps.
- Select Clear cache and then Ok.
- If clearing the app cache didn't work, you can try to reset your Chromecast with Google TV by following the steps here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/6254654
If the perfromance issue still persists, we’d be happy to have a closer look and guide you with further troubleshooting. You can communicate with our dedicated team through our support channels anytime at: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp

I would recommend this to a friendGreat Purchase!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy with this purchase! Was loyal to Roku for so many years, but since it's taken them so long to add HBO Max to their channel lineup, I had to find an alternate method. Works great!
