    Great Streamer, Frustrating Remote

    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.

    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.

    The speed is fast and and picture quality is good. However, set up is little bit complex and price is little bit high.

    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 google tv streamer is one of the best experience i had. When i turn on the first time the instructions were simple, just log in to a google account and all the app, u have will download automatically. The new interface is clean ans simple, u can search the application just by asking google assistant. U can use your phone or laptop (Tablet) and stream it throughly.

    Basically made my older Sony TV operate like our other new Sonys. No need to purchase another new TV to stream content; has built in Netflix and YouTube buttons. Interface is nearly the same. Easy connection to home network. I subsequently purchased a second unit for older cabin TV now that we have fiber.

    The new Google TV player is a fantastic upgrade from the older Chromecast. It's noticeably faster and more responsive, making navigation smooth and seamless. I really appreciate the enhanced Google Home integration. Mapping the new customizable button to quickly access my cameras is such a convenient feature. Overall, the device is user-friendly and offers a great blend of performance and functionality. Highly recommend!

    Does what it's supposed to do overall so no real issues there. Some apps work better than others but that's not really a fault of the device. Easy to set up as well.
