    Highly recommend! Coming from the older Google casting/Tv products, this unit is fast! Tons of space to download apps, and the integrated Google home tab is a nice addition. Now have two of these!

    Noticeably more performant than the previous Chromecast with Google TV 4k, but you still wouldn't want to use it to play video games. The addition of an ethernet port is a nice touch too.

    Been using this for the last few weeks and seems to work pretty good. I bought this because I thought that it might integrate well with "youtube tv" and it does. It also integrates well with other apps and opens apps such as pluto, plex, and Haystack news through the live tv. MGM plus now has surround sound and the streamer works with it. Most older devices such as the latest "apple tv 4k" don't work with surround sound from mgm+. I think the processor may be a bit slow compared to some higher end devices and doesn't have WIFI 6 but does have ethernet and seems to work pretty good. Overall, it seems to me to be a pretty solid product.

    Just got mine today, upgraded from a CCwGTV 4k and after using it I think I am going to return it and go back to CCwGTV. First of all I always had my streaming sticks connected to the HDMI in on my soundbar and had audio passthrough on my Chromecast and my Roku previously and it worked great. This way my sound bar decodes the audio and it works great. Tv always displays if it is DD, DD+, etc. Well the Google streamer does not support audio passthrough whatsoever that I can find and decodes everything. I have it connected to HDMI in on my soundbar and it displays DTHD on my TV for everything even if its PCM audio. Soundbar now only plays PCM out of the 2 stereo speakers where previously using CCwGTV my soundbar would make it into 5.1 surround sound even for PCM, yes it is not real 5.1 but it worked really well and I no longer have that option. Also since the streamer decodes audio I have so many issues with adjusting the volume on my soundbar. When changing channels and apps, I will adjust the volume and it shows it is changing on the soundbar but the volume level stays the same. If you mute and unmute after adjusting the volume immediately changes to that level. Didn't have this issue with CCwGTV. And one more thing i noticed is the viewpoint resolution for YouTube and YTTV is 1920 x1080 instead of 4k. CCwGTV says 1920 x 1080 *2 aka 4k. Is it something to do with android 14 vs 12? Idk but makes no sense it would be lowered. To me this is a downgrade as CCwGTV was not that slow and I never had enough apps to fill up the storage so after being excited about this device I'm now so disappointed.
