    Best Google TV Streamer I have used.

    I have been into the streaming game for a long time as far back as the original Google Chromecast, this device is by far the best Google TV streaming device I have used. Its got plenty of storage, so using multiple apps doesn't fill up the cache and use up all the storage. Its very quick and responsive. One thing I was pleasantly surprise by is the remote finder feature, I have a small child and they are always taking the remote out of the room. So the remote finder feature is super helpful. I do recommend this item.

    This is definitely better than the previous generation. The picture quality and no buffering compared to the previous generation. This has more apps to choose.

    My Sony Bravia has Google TV built in but I was dealing with constant issues of storage. I had to delete several apps that I had always had on there. Very frustrating so I decided to buy the Streamer and it has worked great. No storage issues.

    Bang for the dollar this streaming box is great. It is better than the others i tried. Speeds are great. There's no glitching and very rarely does it drop in quality but then pick right back up. When the other streaming sticks and boxes I have start going out I'll replace them with this.

    It’s great for streaming, it’s fast and has enough memory. I can also have multiple user profiles so we can save our selections. The voice command recognition is really good… in general it’s easy to use, definitely user-friendly for not technological savvy people. I definitely recommend this TV swimming device.

    Nvidia shield kept freezing so needed an alternative. This is the best alternative especially if you have Google cameras that you want to view on your TV as well.

    This is easier to use than the earlier model and though I was hesitant to order it, I am so glad I did. I do keep a larger dryer sheet with pet hair repellant atop the base unit to protect from dust and dander, and it does not interfere with performance. I do not have a smart TV and with this device I am able to stream whatever app I choose including local or national news, movies, etc.

    Still Needs Refining

    I would like to be able to transfer from chromecast to this. Instead had to install the apps and sign into all the apps. That took more time than connecting it. Lol. The overall google tv app needs the ability to remove shows from the home screen and not just hide them. Delete history would be nice. Overall, i do see improvements from the chromecast to this. One last thing, the remote still needs to be designed thats not round. Slightly bigger is nice and a flatter bottom does help.

    Great Streamer, Frustrating Remote

    Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Google TV Streamer (4K) itself works fine, much like a Roku or Firestick. It’s a bit wider than I’d prefer, but the built-in Ethernet is a nice feature. However, the remote is a major letdown. From the layout to the design of the directional pad, it falls short. Be prepared to miss the OK/Enter button frequently. The directional pad is placed at the top of the remote, which feels awkward, especially since most other manufacturers (and even older versions of Android TV) position it below a row of keys for easier, more comfortable access. Now, you have to hold the remote in an off-center way to use it. Then there’s the tiny OK/Enter button—it’s simply too small for an average-sized thumb to press reliably. Maybe a child’s finger or using an index finger would work better? It’s frustrating enough that I’m considering returning the device. Ultimately, I found the experience unpleasant and ended up switching back to my Firestick because of the remote.
