    I’ve tried them all. From Roku to TiVo to cables version of TiVo. This is, by far, the best. It catalogs the movies your own through different providers and organize them by genre and makes suggestions. The only minor hiccup? sometimes it can’t see my wireless network when every other device can. Usually requires a restart.

      Hi Lenny, thanks for sharing your feedback with us about your experience with using the Chromecast with Google TV. We’re glad to hear that you find it the best streaming device you’ve tried, and we’re sorry that it sometimes can’t see your Wi-Fi network.

      There could be several reasons that can affect the performance and connectivity 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.
      - Try to reset your Chromecast by following this step by step guide here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/6254654

      If additional assistance is still required after trying the simple steps above, please reach out to our support team here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle

      Hi there grandma, thanks for bringing this issue to our attention. We’re sorry to hear that your Chromecast with Google TV has performance issues.

      Lag or buffering issues are sometimes caused by different factors. We recommend checking on the steps below:
      - Weak or congested networks. Removing some of your connected devices may help relieve congestion.
      - Check for possible sources of interference such as microwave ovens, refrigerator or other equipment.
      - If you have a dual band router, try setting up Nest Hub Max on either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands and see which band is more stable.

      Clearing the app cache might also be helpful. See this step by step guide here:
      - 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 this step by step guide here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/6254654

      If the issue persists, we’d like to help you the best way we can. Please reach out to our support team here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle

    For $50 I set my expectations pretty low but I do use YouTubeTV as my main live tv streaming service so figured I would give it a try. The load times are very fast, integration with installed apps/services is very clean. I do own an AppleTV 4k but the Chromecast will probably be my daily driver. Only if I could install AppleTV+ on that too (I can install it on my RokuTV also) it would definitely be hard to beat.
