    From my experience, this is by far the best streaming option out there! I love the layout and responsiveness. Wish it had higher quality picture/audio options, but definitely not bad.

    THIS ITERATION OF GOOGLE'S CHROMECAST I CAN TRULY SAY IS ITS BEST TO DATE. ALSO, THE ONLINE/SAME-DAY PICKUP SERVICE I USED TO PURCHASE IT WAS TOP-SHELF.

    Excellent upgrade from the original! Android tv makes it easy to upload apps from the play store or other apps that will open unlimited streaming options.

    Took an hour plus to set up. No such thing as plug in and ready to go. Casting is great once it’s set up and lots of choices. 5 stars if it was a simple setup.

    This new chrome cast model is a severe disappointment. I have the previous model and it works a lot better than this one. The one thing that separates Googles streaming device is the ability to cast from a mobile device to your tv. However this new model has a tough job doing just that. The biggest issue I was having was that every couple minutes the stream would jump ahead 5 secs during a show. I have high speed internet from Google Fiber and never had an issue with the previous model doing this. The Google TV interface and remote were the main reasons I wanted to try this device. The remote and Google assistant worked well. But the Google Tv had a bunch of bugs. Apps were crashing & losing connection (HBO Max & Peacock for example). The library was a great new feature to compile a mass watchlist from all my subscriptions but Google needs to fix the ability to add Netflix Originals to it and a way to sort between Tv and movies. For the remote it worked turning the tv on and changing the volume but the tv input button did not work. This new model of chrome cast has potential but unfortunately doesn’t deliver what the older model did so well. I returned it after spending a couple days trying to fix the casting issue (everything was updated and internet speeds were high) but the streams would keep jumping ahead every few minutes. I would be open to trying this chrome cast again down the road if Google fixes these glaring issues.

    This is what I've been missing! I usually just use my chrome cast and mirror my phone, but this has been a game changer! This to me is better than the Roku that I also have used before.

    I needed a replacement for an older version of Chromecast, and I'm not able to use at my school where I teach. I can't cast, which is why I bought, and the new version is all about selling you streaming material. Perhaps it is my school wifi, but there is no tutorial that so far can help me overcome the casting solution. I tried at home on our wifi, and I can't cast photos from Google photos. I understand the advancements, but miss the simplicity of the old Chromecast and believe this device is not a good casting device...but is a self-streaming device.

      Hi there CastingFacade, thanks for making us aware about the issue. We're sorry for any difficulty you may have experienced trying to cast on your Chromecast with Google TV.

      We recommend checking the kind of network being used at your school. Chromecast requires a high speed Internet connection of at least 20 Mbps, and doesn't really work well with captive portal networks and enterprise networks. To learn more, check out this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9249905

      We'd like to help you further by having one of our support specialists walk you through the set up and casting process for your Chromecast with Google TV, by visiting this page: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle

    Super easy setup. You do need to have an internet connection. The controller can turn the tv on/off or adjust volume without the main controllers.
