Not ready yet
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Chromecast is still a work in progress. On the ESPN app, if you pause for more than 5 minutes, the Chromecast screensaver appears, and Chromecast doesn’t save where you paused! You have to go back to the app and fast forward from the beginning to try to find where you paused. Also, Chromecast doesn’t show the program while fast forwarding; you just have to guess based on time. Even worse, despite no picture while fast forwarding, after a few seconds Chromecast hides the time bar and fast forward controls (all controls like play, pause and fast forward are on screen, not on the remote).

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not too happy with this item. Tried to hook it up and get it to work, but it was more difficult than I thought. After doing so, it started to work. I would try to go to YouTube, it would have the loading screen for longer than usual.

Posted .Hi ZJRL,
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We understand how that could be frustrating. Lag issues are oftentimes caused by different factors. We recommend checking on the steps below:
- Chromecast with Google TV requires a high speed Internet connection of at least 20 Mbps. This will also depend on the number of devices you are running. We recommend contacting your Internet provider for resolution.
- Weak or congested networks. Removing some of your connected devices may help relieve congestion.
- Check for possible sources of interference such as microwave oven, refrigerator or other equipment.
- If you have a dual band router, try setting up Chromecast with Google TV on either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands and see which band is more stable.
If none of the steps fix the issue, please reach out to our support team for further troubleshooting and isolation here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp
Unsure
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have never had the Chrome Cast thing so I didn't know what it would do. For me, it's useless as I do not watch anything but a few channels on Dish. My TV is already equipped with YouTube and I don't watch Hulu or Netflix or things like that.

Great for Youtube
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great for youtube. Can't get it to open CNN app. Not a problem with Roku or Firestick.

Lack of third party apps
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If the app is not in the play store, good luck getting a third party app on the chromecast. The slingbox app is nowhere to be found, but it's easily found on the fire tv platform.

Posted .Hi there, ChristopherG. Thank you for sharing your review on Chromecast with Google TV (4K). We're sorry to learn that you're experiencing some lag issues with the device. We suggest checking if any app updates are in progress as this might make navigating or using the interface slower. You should also check any system updates as well. Another helpful tip is to uninstall apps that you don't use.
If you've done these steps before, we can also suggest expanding your Chromecast's storage. You will need a:
-Compatible USB-C hub with a power delivery port
-USB-C charger (higher than 1.5 A/7.5 W).
-Portable storage device, such as a USB stick or SD card.(If you use a USB storage device, use USB 2.0 or greater speeds)
If you need further assistance or have additional inquiries, please don't hesitate to contact us on our Google Nest Help page for immediate support: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
LOVE IT
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.love it, the only problem I had was set up with phone, after that it was easy. everything else works great easy to use
I would recommend this to a friendGood, but...
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Finally a chromecast with google tv. Unfortunately, it has a bug where it reverts to 1080p and has to be manually set back to 4k. It will only go up to 4k 30Hz which is also disappointing. Hopefully they work out the bugs soon.

Posted .Hi TheDMan7,
We appreciate your feedback. We´re sorry to hear of the disappointing experience you have with the resolution of your Chromecast with Google TV.
Video resolution issues may be caused by a few factors other than your Chromecast with Google TV, and we recommend checking if you have the following points set up with your system:
- Ensure your Chromecast has a strong Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection.
- We recommend a high-speed internet connection of at least 20 Mbps.
- An High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) port that supports both High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) 2.2 and 60 frames per second (60 FPS).
- A high speed HDMI cable when an Audio/Video Receiver (AVR) is part of the environment.
- Use only the power supply that was provided with your Chromecast.
Our goal with Chromecast with Google TV is to provide you with the best viewing experience watching your favorite movies and TV shows in 4K Ultra HD and 4K HDR through your preferred streaming services. Should you still face the same issue, we recommend reaching out to us to have a deeper look at it. We may need to figure out what's causing the problem in order for us to find a resolution.
