    Best android tv / youtube TV experience

    The best android TV setup on the market. Quick/Responsive controls. The only downside is having to purchase the ethernet adapter/power plug combo separately (from google, as it's not available from best buy).

    Pretty good streaming device and responsive when set up correctly. I wish it came with an extender because my TV's HDMI plug is in the back and the remote had issues connecting every once in a while. I had to purchase a separate extender and it works a lot better.

    This is the best purchase so far, definitely a big difference from the previous model. This made my tv super clear and bright. When u play movie or anything on it the images are super clean compare to your regular tv apps

    This is a great 4K smart device. We don't get all the apps we want on our 4 year old Samsung so we purchased this to receive all our apps. It has a crisper and clearer image than the TV apps have.

    We needed a second streaming device for the bedroom and the choice was simple. The controller easily syncs with the TV volume and power switch making it a seamless connection.

    Setting up the device was easy. So was the purchase. I ordered it online for store pickup the next morning. I texted when I showed up, a Best Buy employee brought it out, handed it in through the window and I was done.

    I gave it a 4 because it still has alot of bugs but is way better than buying a chromecast. It works great and doesnt crash as often as a Chromecast but still has some stability issues when trying to switch between sources on my TV or if I turn my tv on/off with a different remote.

    Got this specifically to use in hotels when I travel. So awesome not having to login to Netflix, Prime, YouTube TV, and Disney+ without using the native apps on the hotel TV and possibly having my login information stored.

    Perfect combo, and love I can still cast if I want. Also, I expect apps to have longer update support on this than I do with "smart tv" built in apps. My tv isn't terribly old at all and many apps don't get updates anymore.

    Works okay for what is. Little cumbersome to use. Tired calling BB 4 times for a general question as I was going to return, call was never picked up, just sat on hold for in excess of 15 min each time. Never spoke with a live person. Called Oakdale and Maplewood locations. Decided to keep it anyway.

      Hi Hbomb188, we're glad to hear that you love the UI works well for you, and that you're loving the YouTube button. However, we do apologize for the sluggish performance you experience on Chromecast with Google TV (4K).

      Chromecast devices typically require a high speed Internet connection of at least 20 Mbps and a reliable Wi-Fi network. We recommend checking if your current Internet bandwidth is possibly congested, or that it may not be enough to enable the best viewing experience with Chromecast. Removing some of your connected devices to free up some bandwidth space, and trying out Chromecast will help verify the issue. If you verify congestion, we suggest contacting your Internet service provider to check your connection and upgrade it if needed.

      If the issue persists even after upgrading your connection, please consider contacting our support team for further help here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle

    Big fan of Chromecast with Google TV

    I've been a big fan of both my Roku TVs and my gen 2 & 3 Chromecasts, but the new Chromecast with Google TV is the best of both worlds. My only complaint is the remote, it is smaller and feels less substantial than my Roku remotes. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.
