Posted .Hi Rock,
Thanks for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear of the connectivity issue with your Chromecast with Google TV.
If you’re willing to try, we recommend connecting the Ethernet adapter for your Chromecast directly to your router, to see if you will get a connection.
You may also want to try some troubleshooting steps below to see if your Chromecast can connect via Wi-Fi connection:
- Move your router to within 20 feet of your Chromecast.
- Check for possible interference as thick walls and other connected devices may weaken the Wi-Fi signal from your router to the Chromecast device.
- Check for possible congestion with your Wi-Fi network.
We´re here to help, and we may need to have a look at the issue you have in order for us to come up with a resolution. Please feel free to reach out to our support team here:

Not what I expected.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Most of the smart devices in my home are powered by Google. I wanted to like this device, but I could not Chromecast to my TV. I actually went backwards and went to the Chromecast instead of using this. When you try to Chromecast to this device, it brings up menus on your TV instead of opening up the video itself. I wish they could’ve made it better, but you’ll have a better option of getting the Chromecast instead

Poor Streaming Device
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The user interface is good, and that's where the positive points end. First, Dolby Atmos, or Digital for that matter, does not work. The only thing that this device outputs is stereo, that is it. Secondly, Amazon prime does not work on this at all. The guide shows up, you can scroll through it, but trying to watch a show is impossible. The screen always shows an error message. Third, the picture quality is not as good as Apple TV, or Roku 4K. Overall a huge disappointment.

Posted .Hi Mark,
We appreciate your feedback. We understand that you’re having issues with the audio settings and playing Amazon prime contents with your Chromecast with Google TV.
For you to enjoy true Dolby Atmos surround, you would need to ensure that the TV, audio receiver and the actual content are capable of Dolby Atmos surround. We advise to check the format of the video content you are attempting to watch. There are some 4K video contents that use 5.1 surround sound. And there are also videos that are true Dolby Atmos surround. The Chromecast with Google TV is capable of handling Dolby Atmos surround sound but it will adapt to whatever audio format the content has.
Regarding Amazon prime, we'd love to learn more about your concern so we can provide you with the best possible options and improve your experience. Please feel free to reach out to us here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp

Posted .Hi cordcutter,
We appreciate your feedback. We recommend trying out a few other features with your Chromecast with Google TV that might pique your interest:
- Easy access button to the Google Assistant on your Voice Remote.
- Google TV organizes movies and TV shows from all of your favorite services into a single screen.
- Get personal recommendations based on content you enjoy.
- Ask for a specific title or search by mood, genre, actor, and more by simply asking the Google Assistant, ¨Hey Google! What should I watch?¨ or ¨Hey Google! Find action movies.¨.
- Cast from thousands of compatible Android and iOS apps directly from your phone, laptop, or tablet.
- And mirror your Chrome browser tab to your TV.

Loses Wi-Fi connection, poor set-up process
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.RETURNED. Kept dropping wi-fi connection, even though it's maybe 25 ft away from router. As a comparison, a 2 yo Roku stick in the Basement has no wi-fi issues at all. Set up process was terrrible! Interface with Google Home didn't work (current version installed) and required manual inputs for everything. After over 1 hour for a set up process (!), it kept losing the wi-fi signal and got buffering and the spinning "thinking" wheel on screen. Looking online for help, the best Google-provided suggestion was to do a "Factory Reset". I JUST BOUGHT IT - HOW CLOSER TO FACTORY CONDITION CAN YOU GET???? Really expected much better than this. Looking at the new Fire Stick 4k Max, especially with Roku's current fight with You Tube. Returned, Best Buy was very good about accepting it.

Likely QC issue
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Connection issues with 2019 Sony Bravia OLED. Purchased Chrome Cast as the Wi-Fi connection of our Bravia has been declining rapidly. Chrome Cast set up is quick and easy, connects to network no problem but picture via HDMI ports is scrambled jitters. Have reproduced the same results on other TV in house, likely a quality control issue in manufacturing.

Posted .Hi KazPro, thanks for giving us time to share your feedback about the Chromecast with Google TV, and we’re sorry to learn of your issue with audio lag when going through your AV receiver.
If you're having an issue using AVR in conjunction with Chromecast, you’ll need to first add your AVR so that you can use the Chromecast remote buttons for volume control, power, and input. Then, on the Google TV settings, toggle on the Match content dynamic range, under Display and Sound. Then adjust the sound format, by referring to the steps below:
1.Select Advanced sound settings.
2.Select Format selection.
3.Then select between Automatic, Never, or Manual to choose formats from available formats. Under the various sound settings range, toggle the buttons to either on or off. For example, Dolby Atmos in Dolby Digital Plus, AAC, Dolby Digital.
If the issue persists after configuring the Advanced sound settings, we’d like to have a closer look at what may be the cause of this. We’re hoping we can learn more about your experience and we’ll do our best to help you, here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp
