Great box, but flawed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this mainly with the intention of using it for Sling TV. It serves its purpose for that, along with Netflix and whatever other apps I install from the Play Store, but I find this box is littered with bugs. Sometimes I feel like this is a neglected product by Google due to the lack of proper bug patches and updates. A constant bug I experience is with the wifi connection. I have to restart the device every time just to reestablish an Internet connection to do anything on the box. PROS: - Nice looking interface - Access to plenty of apps via the Play Store - Google Voice control is helpful - Access to Google account products via the cloud (downloaded music, movies, etc) CONS: - Bugs! - Unknown length of future Google support - Remote feels cheap - No hardwire Ethernet option Overall--a good product that has a lot to offer, but needs bug fixes.

Great tv box
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome Google tv box. We use it for Netflix, youtube, and have Kodi custom installed. I canceled my cable and only use it now. The controller is a little limited, but you can use any cellphone or tablet to also control it. Great quality of video. And great download speeds via wifi.

pretty good but there is room for improvement
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The item is pretty good but I get quite a lot of the Apps crashing when I use them. Crackle and FXnow mainly. Reset and still there two apps. I hope an OTA update will fix the underlining issue. The rest seem to be working pretty good. If you plan to play games on it make sure you buy the gaming remote.

Very easy to use home entertainment system..
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Nexus TV is a great home entertainment device. Easy access to all sorts of media options... Everything from Google (YouTube, Google Music, Play Movies). Also with other apps, like Plex or Kodi, you can access media on your computer! Online providers are coming around.. Netflix, Hulu, ABC, and more are available too... Lastly, it doubles as a Chromecast device as well, so you can use your phone too...

A great set-top device
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Nexus Player is a great lightweight TV set-top device. In addition to being able to do everything a Chromecast can, you can also install apps made specifically for Android TV to stream shows, play games using an Android or Xbox 360 controller, and even use it as a cable box if you're running it on the same network as an HDHomeRun. It's often on sale for around $50 and it's a great value at that price.

Great Streaming Box
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an excellent device for all media consumption on your television or home theater system. The interface is clean and simple to use, unlike most smart TVs, and setup takes less than 2 minutes. If you already have a smart TV and wish that it could do more, this is definitely the product to get.

Functions of Google Chromecast and More

Great set top box.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the $50 I paid for the nexus player it's a great buy. Most of the time it works great. Quick and responsive. Had one issue after an update that required a full power cycle for the player to work right. Kodi works great and android tv apps are coming along. Overall a great device.

It's great but not the best..
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It has all the apps you would expect except for Amazon Video. All the apps stream very well except for the google play movies. I could say it's my slower internet (DSL), but all the other apps were fine. The remote is very very cheap feeling. The device itself is quite nice though.

Really nice android TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Normally when you are looking for cheap products that works, you may find Android TV devices like mx3 or matricom. Those are good, but the Nexus player have better specifications, better build and up to date android operating system. With that being said, buy a Nexus player you had all you need there and if you don't like the OS you can always change it because it's a unlock device from google, if you have kind a of a techie self that will be easy to handle. If you want to have more power and willing to pay like $200 then you should go with a Nvidia Shield but that's another story

not bad for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this unit for $50 dollars which is a bargain if you compare it to a chrome cast. The interface is cool, I feel like it needs improvement but having the ability to search your entire music library, youtube, Netflix etc by just talking to the remote is pretty cool.

Great Potential
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really wanted this to be a perfect device, but the apps that were available for, namely Plex and Netflix, ruined it. And the remote control feels cheap, and noisy. Plex is unreliable and crashes fairly often. Netflix doesn't stream in surround, and per Netflix support, it's developed by Google and is something they need to fix. I know Android 5.1 is now available, so I'll be testing that out very soon. I'm hoping that is is much more reliable.

Gorgeous device, but little apps
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently purchased this device. Nexus products are usually great products, this one is no different. On paper the specs are impressive. I had no hiccups, the wifi was fast, streaming was nothing less than perfect. Yet this Nexus player is lacking on the software side, little apps on Google play ▶ are compatible, and there are other options to consider, Roku or FireTV... I returned my Nexus needless to say, the price to play just isn't worth it. If you play Google play games, this is for you, if not... Consider other devices. 2 stars given, I can't deny, this is serious hardware... in desperate need of software!

good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is good for the price that I purchased it for. This device at full price I wouldn't recommend because there are others out there for less with the same internals.

Like a Smart TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really awesome device. Looks exactly as if you have a smart TV and more. Works excellent with my Google account, no lags and great controller. Would definitely recommend it instead of paying all that extra money for a Smart TV.

#Love
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is amazing. It is bigger than other standard devices in the same field but it is amazing. Sends amazing quality signal and in general, works like a beast. I got this when they had no chrome cast and I will never bothered with a chrome cast again. Only thing to make it better is a built in blue ray player and a better remote.

Good streaming device
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Nexus Player is a good device for streaming videos via you tube and or downloading apps from the google play store. Can also connect devices to the Nexus Player via bluetooth. Easy to use with the simple remote of only a few buttons.
