    UPGRADE OVER CHROMECAST ULTRA

    I had a Chromecast ultra and the only flaw in my opinion was that it didn’t have a remote. It was a bit tedious having to use my phone just to rewind 5 seconds. The remote on this device is well worth an upgrade. Love it!

    I've been putting off buying one of these things because I wasn't sure if it was necessary but I love it. There is so much you can do with it including games and it's very easy to use. One stop shop for all of the streaming services.

    Way better than the Old Chromecasts

    This interface works well. It replaced a Roku on one TV with it because it was smoother. It seems to work better than another TV that has just Andriod TV on it. Recommended for replacing slower-interfaced smart TVs or upgrading a non-smart TV.

    This is what Chromecast should have been all along! Finally I can use a physical remote with TV power and Volume control included. All the old school Chromecast functions are here, plus some new features like Group speakers. Great device and value!

    The new Chromecast with Google TV is a good streaming device. All services work well. The remote is functional. The only issue it has - the Samsung TV doesn't allow to pass through the Dolby Digital 5.1 signal from the Chromecast to the soundbar. Other streamers, like Apple TV 4k and Amazon Fire Stick 4k don't have this issue on my Samsung TV.

    Accessing PBS, Prime Video, YouTube... Pausing, fast forward, going back or home. Even turning the device off or on. It's all instantaneous, and the design of the user interface, despite so few buttons, is excellent. I'm an electrical engineer and a hardware and software designer. I don't impress easily, but I'm impressed. And it's inexpensive.

    We have the other generations of this and fire tv. This chromecast by far is has the best quality and fast. We tried to use the hub on our Samsung TV to stream apps but is to slow and just not a great experience. A must but for any tv for the price.

    Great product for streaming and casting onto your tv. Would of gave it 5 stars if I could download the Spectrum Tv app which was why I bought it for. I was under the impression I could do so after googlin it. Other then that I am satisfied with the speed and it’s features. A step up from the old tv I have in the room

      Hi there MrNobody, we appreciate your feedback on Chromecast with Google TV. We’re sorry to hear about your disappointment with limited support for the Spectrum TV app.

      Spectrum TV app is not included on the list of cast-enabled apps. Chromecast can’t be used as a Spectrum receiver to access Spectrum TV programming. However, If you're using an Android mobile phone, you can mirror your phone screen to the Chromecast to watch content from the Spectrum TV app to your TV. Here's how:

    GREAT PRICE FOR WHAT YOU GET! I'd like to see it in black. But its hidden for most set ups so no big deal. Beats firestick, and cube! Great for older TVs! I have a new Samsung TV and I still use this product. All of your apps and streaming in one place!

    New chromecast now has a remote and YouTubeTV (GoogleTV). Easy setup and connection. Includes Dolby Vision. New layout resembles Netflix/Roku hybrid. I had the older one; the new one is better plus it now Has A Remote so overall a good upgrade

    I used my Chromecast to play COD Warzone mobile on my big TV. So I killed the motherboard on my desktop computer, and needed a cure for my information deprivation and gaming deprivation while a new one was being shipped. Chromecast to the rescue. I linked my old Samsung Galaxy S9+ to the Chromecast with screem sync, linked an xbox controller to the S9, and downloaded COD Warzone. No, it's not perfect, but it works fine, and helps us "blind" people to see the enemies on a big screen. And yes, all my movie accounts worked fine too.

    The good: The GUI layout is more refined than Roku or Apple TV. The available apps are more or less on par with Apple TV and Roku (i.e. you get HBO max but no Nick Jr). The interconnectivity of this device and other google/nest products is nice. Google assistant works as expected. Remote has a mute button. The bad: The lack of multiple individual profiles on a new device/system is completely unacceptable. Hopefully this will be resolved in a update. The device can be somewhat laggy at times. No ethernet connectivity. No Wifi 6 radios. Some apps seem to misbehave (History channel app). I suspect this shall be fixed in a later update. Good or bad: The system/device is very youtube centric (bad for me because I don't use or care for youtube).

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
