    Any TV becomes a smart TV. A little redundant if you already have a smart TV but its a great way to upgrade my kids TVs.

    My old chromecast without remote works better than this and i never faced any problem with that. I dont know but this one has software issues and some times the cromecast doesnt work when casted from a cellphone and sometimes it does not appear on the list of available chromecast devices until its rebooted. Firmware is updated to the latest one but issue is still there.

      Hi AhmadAkram, thanks for the feedback. We’re sorry to learn about the issues you have with your Chromecast with Google TV. We’re here to help.

      Make sure that both your phone/tablet and Chromecast are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and you are using a cast-enabled app listed here: https://store.google.com/us/product/chromecast_apps.

      We suggest trying these simple steps that may help:
      With the Chromecast Voice Remote:
      - In the upper right of your TV screen, select your profile and then Settings .
      - Select System and then About and then Factory Reset.

      From the Chromecast device:
      - While the Chromecast is plugged into the TV and powered, press and hold the button on the back of the Chromecast. The LED will start blinking yellow.
      - When the LED light turns solid white, release the button and the Chromecast will then reset.

      If unresolved, let our support team help you and see what is causing this, you can reach out to us using this link: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle

    The best streaming stick for $50; the best streaming stick for YouTube TV or Sling. I love how it integrates the live TV guide into the main interface and finds which movie or TV show is on which service. Dead simple for family & tech-illiterate people to use.

    I like the chromecast. It is easy to use. I did not like setup. It took forever and I felt confused even under the simplist of directions. Oftentimes, the remote wouldn't work because it couldn't catch the signal from the adapter behind the TV. I have since had to buy an hdmi extender and it works better.

      Hi Amybabybear, thanks for giving us some insights on your experience on Chromecast with Google TV. We apologize for the difficult experience in setting it up.

      Getting an HDMI extender was an awesome idea. However, we've designed Chromecast with Google TV and the Voice Remote to work, even with the Chromecast situated behind your TV. We believe there might be some factors affecting the weak Bluetooth signal for your Voice Remote. Here are some steps you can try to fix the issue:
      - Reboot your Chromecast.
      - Restart your router. Unplug your router, wait for 10 seconds and plug it back in.
      - Factory reset your Chromecast and Voice Remote. Check out this help article for a step by step guide on resetting Chromecast: https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/6254654

      If the steps above don't help out with the problem, please feel free to get in touch with our specialists here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/contactflow madebygoogle

    Value for money. This little thing turned my 7 year old TV into a smart Android TV. All apps load up quickly & run smoothly except sometimes when loading up Netflix. A quick search on the internet showed that this is a known issue & Google is working on a fix for it. Hopefully soon!

    Roku and Amazon need to step up their game

    Better design and UX than Roku or WebOS. Content recommendations are OK, but will get better over time. Remote controls both TVs and soundbars, which Roku does not. Flexible HDMI connection enables installation even where space behind the TV is tight. Overall, a much better option than Roku

    Turn any HDMI enabled tv to a Google TV with thousands of apps, chromecast enablement and google voice. You dont like your TV's operating system like Tizen or LG's Web OS, this device is the perfect upgrade!

    I have 5 of these in my home and love them. Their app selection is good, they're easy to navigate, and can be paired to my TV and soundbar to control them with 1 remote instead of having to use multiple.

    Great implementation of Google TV (Android) Chromecast. I've had 2 previous Chromecast devices and the one thing I felt was lacking was remote access, so that my kids could use it well. Well, this fills that niche and is significantly cheaper than an Apple TV 4k, although it works much like it.

    Google Chromecast 4K makes it convenient to use apps to watch apps such as YouTube. The voice assistance makes it easy so you do not have to type in and picks up what you are saying well. The video quality with 4K is great! Love using this device.
