    There are many possibilities with this device. Easy to setup and use. However 8G storage is definitely not enough, no need to mention that the system would take more 4G of the 8G. I would rate five star, if it is with a larger storage.

    Remote is not consistent. Back button is hit or miss. Other than that it seems to operate pretty well. Solid platform. I prefer it over a fire stick. About even with a Roku/w voice remote.

    Google Chromecast with Google TV is a very inexpensive and effective way to upgrade your older (non-smart) TVs to utilize the wide variety of streaming services available today. It is very simple to set up, provides great menus for source selection and a very nice, compact voice-controlled remote. Google, founded in 1998, is the largest subsidiary of Alphabet, one of the largest technology firms in the world. Google provides search technology, online advertising, cloud computing, email (Gmail), web browsing (Chrome), navigation (Google Maps), video sharing (YouTube), operating systems (Android), productivity software (Workspace), language translation and many other online services. It also produces consumer electronics products including Pixel smartphones, Google Assistant, Nest smart home devices, wearable devices (Fitbit) and this Chromecast device. Here are the key features: • Google Chromecast with Google TV (Model: G454V) • Provides 1080p (with HDR10) streaming content from a wide range of services • 3.0 inch x 2.5 inch wireless receiver dongle with 3 inch HDMI connection cable • 59 inch USB-A to USB-C power cable • 5 volt, 1.5 amp, 7.5 watt power adapter for USB cable • Remote control with power, volume, home, preset Netflix, & YouTube, Google Assistant buttons • Two AAA alkaline batteries included • Google Assistant voice control through remote • Access to thousands of apps through Google Play • Wireless connectivity: 801.11a/b/g/n/ac • Bluetooth connectivity to remote control • Set up through Google Home app • Full easy to follow on screen instructions • Manufactured from recycled plastic (49% by weight) • One year warranty The Chromecast device, cables, power adapter and remote control are all very attractively designed. They are nicely rounded, very compact and their color is a pleasing arctic white called “Snow.” Even the included AAA batteries are a matching white color. Set up is very easy. Simply attach the USB power cord to the included adapter, connect the USB-C end to the wireless receiver dongle and plug that dongle into an HDMI port on the TV. Then use the Google Home app on a smartphone to set up the wireless connection to your network. The device will download firmware updates and it will be ready for use. You can then mate the remote to your TV so that it can control power, volume and (in most cases) the input switching. The menus are very easy to navigate and seems to include all streaming services (Netflix, Prime, Disney, Apple, Hulu, Peacock, Paramount, HBO, Sling, Spotify, YouTube, etc.) plus many free services found in the Google Play app. Connections were solid and provided a very clean data stream for all services I tested. The remote control connects to the dongle via Bluetooth so line-of-sight is not necessary and the range is at least 30 feet. You can safely expect that the device will work perfectly in most home situations, reliably covering multiple rooms. The device is very compact and lightweight so it can be attached to any HDMI port on the TV and just hang unobtrusively behind the TV without straining the wiring. The 59” power cord is long enough to easily reach an available power source. Or, you could just plug in the USB-A end into a USB port on your TV (most TVs have a USB-A port.) No matter how old your digital TV is, this Google Chromecast device will instantly upgrade it to the latest “smart” functionality. In fact, even if your TV has streaming functions you might find that this unit adds some important capability which you did not have (such as voice search or Google Assistant controls). The beautiful, tiny remote gives you access to not just all of the streaming services, but also provides to the full range of Google Assistant capabilities. You can use it to control your lights, thermostat, doorbell cameras, etc. if you utilize Google Nest devices. You can also use the remote to answer questions or do quick searches using the power of Google and the breadth of YouTube to quickly find relevant material. Given the comparable price and basic capabilities, the obvious comparison is to Amazon’s Fire Stick. But I think the Google Chromecast is superior in several aspects. First, it is undeniably more attractive. The beautiful color and shape of the remote is a pleasure to look at. Second, it probably has a broader range of apps available, due to the extensive Google Play library. Finally, because its software is based upon Google search technology, the search function is certainly superior to anything Amazon can offer. I am delighted to give this great and bargain-priced device my full and enthusiastic recommendation!

    Setting up is ridiculous. You have to download an app to your phone - then create an account - then go thru a bunch of setup menus on the device - then a ton of updates - then more setup menus on device - finally it takes another 10 minutes to finish setting up. Everyone at Google who created this awful out of box experience should be fired.

    The Google Chromecast with Google TV has revolutionized my home entertainment setup, providing a seamless and feature-rich streaming experience. Here's why this streaming stick has become an integral part of my entertainment hub: Simple Setup: Setting up the Chromecast with Google TV was a breeze. From plugging it into the HDMI port to connecting it to my Wi-Fi, the entire process took just a few minutes. The user-friendly on-screen instructions made it accessible even for those less tech-savvy. 4K Streaming Excellence: The inclusion of 4K support takes my streaming experience to a whole new level. Whether I'm watching movies, TV shows, or gaming content, the clarity and vibrant colors delivered by the Chromecast are truly impressive. The device ensures that every detail is sharp and lifelike. Google TV Interface: The Google TV interface is a game-changer. It aggregates content from various streaming services into one easy-to-navigate platform. The personalized recommendations based on my viewing habits have introduced me to new shows and movies that I might have missed otherwise. Voice Search Functionality: The voice search feature is a standout. With a simple press of the button on the remote, I can speak my search queries, making the entire process hands-free and efficient. The accuracy and speed of the voice recognition are commendable. Wide App Compatibility: The Chromecast with Google TV supports a vast array of streaming apps. From popular platforms like Netflix and Hulu to niche services, the device ensures that I have access to all my favorite content in one place. The app library is continually expanding, adding even more value to the streaming experience. Remote Control Convenience: The inclusion of a dedicated remote control with physical buttons is a welcome addition. The remote is intuitive, and the inclusion of shortcut buttons for popular streaming services enhances the overall convenience. The ability to control the TV's power and volume with the Chromecast remote is a thoughtful touch. Casting from Mobile Devices: While the Chromecast excels in standalone operation, the ability to cast content directly from my mobile devices adds an extra layer of flexibility. It seamlessly integrates with my smartphone, allowing me to share videos, photos, and even specific apps directly to the big screen. Affordability: Considering the 4K streaming capabilities, the Google TV interface, and the overall performance, the Chromecast with Google TV offers exceptional value for its price. It competes with higher-priced streaming devices while delivering a premium experience. Conclusion: The Google Chromecast with Google TV has become the centerpiece of my home entertainment system. Its 4K streaming quality, user-friendly interface, voice search functionality, and wide app compatibility make it a must-have for anyone looking to enhance their streaming experience. I wholeheartedly recommend the Chromecast with Google TV for those seeking a reliable and feature-packed streaming solution.

    The Google Chromecast is something that you need it even if you think you don't need it, more so because it costs only $30. This product is of the highest quality, is attractive, and easy to set up and use. It brings a large number of apps, everything that comes with free programs is very modern. Very easy to use and you don't need a new smart tv as this tops it. The third-generation Google Chromecast is better and is more complete since it includes a remote control and displays a home screen with all your apps on your TV. The remote control is easy to operate and with it, you can turn your television on and off, as well as control the volume. The remote control allows you to go directly to Netflix or YouTube with the press of a button. It also has voice commands. Performance-wise it’s about the same as the Google TV 4k edition they released last year but costs a lot less. Google limits the video output on the HD model to 1080p only but it otherwise retains all of the features of the more expensive version including its support of Atmos surround sound. I have a Visio TV, but the system is very limited, thanks to this Chromecast, I have been able to take advantage of it. The quality is super good, the control responds even faster than the TV, I can install any android app on it. HBO is an app that I couldn't use on the Visio system since it stopped responding, but with Chromecast, it runs smoothly and without any problem. Sometimes we have to click the connect button twice to get it to work, but otherwise it's been very good. Ever since I've been using the Google TV apps instead of my TV's built-in apps for Hulu and prime video, and I noticed something: when I watch TV shows on my Visio apps, I have to keep turning the volume up to hear the dialogue, but then turn it down again when the background music and sound effects get loud to keep from waking up my kids. But when I watch on my Google TV apps, I don't have to do that. I don't know if it has some kind of leveling or compression software built in, but I don't have to keep riding the volume button. The remote itself is slippery and hard to hold on to. Do yourself a favor and get one of the cheap silicone covers to help. Also, there is an ambient mode that allows me to use my Google photos as a screensaver. It gave me the option to choose photos by names of people in them, or by albums, or my favorites, so now when we're not watching a show, we can have pictures of my kids scrolling on the screen, which has been a lot of fun to watch. Overall, I give the Chromecast with Google TV top marks and would highly recommend it.
