    I'm sure this device works for other setups, but I had no such luck. Device streams good quality but does not sync dialogue with surround system setup through eARC and randomly turns off

      Hey there, JohnB. We’re sorry your experience with the Google TV Streamer (4K) hasn’t been the best. Here’s a few troubleshooting steps to get your audio back on track:

      1. Check if you have a compatible HDMI cable.
      2. Reboot the Google TV Streamer.
      3. Check whether your TV, AVR, or soundbar has an audio offset adjustment setting
      4. Check if the “Dialogue enhancement” and “Volume leveler” settings are disabled. If it’s enabled, turn it off.
      5. Check if the surround sound setting is disabled. If it’s enabled, turn it off.

      Reach out to us if the issue persists. We’re just a click away:: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp?sjid=1168929876280557452-NC&visit_id=638674861917928406-808865731&rd=1 madebygoogle

    Picture was great! I ending up returning the device because it didn't support IR remote commands, or Network (IP) control (for Home Theater integrations).

    One best streamers on the market, but definitely was a transition from having the HDMI and power built-in to the plug in through HDMI and power versus having to have a dedicated HDMI cable and power

    Most improved streamers on the market have every future you would want in a streaming player and for a good price rival any player in that class

    This new Streamer is a good device and works well. Google could also include an HDMI cable. Get an Ultra High Speed HDMI cable for best results. Replaced Google TV dongle.

    The buttons on the control are not as user friendly like the Chromecast remote. Otherwise it's a technological upgrade that you may or may not appreciate.

    It works fine but its expensive for what it is, given it does the same thing as the old $30 chromecasts. Also it couldnt turn my tv on and off with the included remote.

    Bought this to replace an Nvidia Shield Pro. While it doesn't have as much horsepower it definitely lives up to the hype. I just wish it had 120hz support.
