Good but not great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really liked the Nexus Player but was a bit disappointed by the speed and the fact that it would lock up every once in a while. It did get better after 5.1 update but I returned it. I wanted something with more power and more options. However, the Nexus Player is good starting point and reference device (which is what it's intended for) and the available apps are growing daily. The leanback launcher is very easy to use and enjoyable. Google could do a better job of organizing the TV app store but there is amount available. Also, remember that all your Google Cast capable apps will work on here also so you have a multitude of Chromecast apps at your fingertips.

One of the best streaming devices !
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had many streaming players from Western Digital to Roku to Apple TV and umpteen Android boxes from China that run XBMC. I found the Google Nexus to be a solid device. The fit and finish is top notch. Its made by ASUS for Google and the quality is there to see. Next i was worried about the glitchy Android platform and how responsive it would be. But to my surprise it is very responsive like Apple TV. The thousands of Apps and voice command feature for searching content for the internet is a plus. The voice command works very well. It recognizes pretty much any thing that you can throw at it and aggregates content based on your search term across Apps, content and media. Its a fantastic player. Only gripe is lack of connectivity via a micro USB port. You can always buy a micro USB to USB adapter and connect your external storage. After having meddled with many streaming players I would highly recommend this one.

Great Media player
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent Media player. Easy to install Kodi since the Google Store is already loaded on the device. I would give it 5 stars if you could plug an ethernet cord into it. wifi only.

Great product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Instead to buy cheap G Box from China, hard and costly to return. It is more better to buy Google Nexus Player work great with Kodi

Stable first version
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coming from Google TV this was definitely an upgrade. My 6 and 8 year old love playing android games on the TV now. I opted not to buy the official Nexus Player controllers ($40 a piece) and instead bought two controllers from GameStop that work great and were only $8. Goody and should only get better.

Great Player and Network Streamer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really happy with this little box. Have tried multiple boxes before such as WDTv Live and Chromecast and Roku. Never was 100% happy with any of them as there was always something I needed one of the other boxes for. This is the first box that can do it all. I can stream from my shares across the network using Kodi with no lag, I can watch Netflix, Sling, and any of the network boxes. It has a remote control but since it's Bluetooth, can sync up to my keyboards for easy entering of text on screen. Overall it does everything I need it to. Stability on some of the apps could be a little better, but that isn't the fault of this product. I would definitely recommend getting it for a home entertainment box.

Better than the other streamers out there
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Seems to be faster than the Roku and nice that it has the capability of playing your music while playing the games in it. Sometimes with certain games there is a slight lag in response, but isn't too bad. All of the menus are good for a TV setup.

Great low profile, media device
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great streaming device. I use this for my Plex Server and Slingtv. The wireless is good, but I wish they also kept a LAN connection on it and that the remote had a headphone plug on it like the Roku streamers. But the unit is great.

good value, but held back by limited software.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the nexus player is basically a beefed up chromecast running android TV, so for $15 more than a regular chromecast it's great. price aside, the software is pretty frustrating. the remote is a slow way to get to something to watch, must faster to browse youtube on your phone and cast to the nexus player than it is to use the youtube app on the nexus player. i've since flashed a custom rom on it but i still just end up using my phone and casting to my $35 chromecast as it's much faster.

Expands my viewing options
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The nexus player does a nice job of broadcasting content. I generally use it for content on kodi. I also easily enough downloaded a web browser. The remote is okay. However I haven't been able to get the voice search function to work on a consistent basis. I was able to easily connect a bluetooth keyboard (samsung keyboard which i use with my samsung note pro 12.2) which makes inputting information much easier. The only thing that is lacking is the ability to connect bluetooth headsets - which I read somewhere might become available via a software update (not sure if this is true or not)
