    Have used a Chromecast for many years and liked it just fine. But now that I've used this new Google TV Streamer, I can tell you I'm now spoiled by it. The speed of loading and switching between different applications and features is hard to beat. App load times, switching between apps, and pretty much everything else is enhanced. Same look and feel, menus, and most everything else. The remote is nice. They moved the volume buttons to the face of the remote and made it longer. No problem with it...I think I preferred the buttons on the side through. An important requirement for me was the ability to use the Chromecast remotes with this unit. That works just fine. You can pair your older Chromecast remotes with this easily. I like having two remotes...one for me and one for the wifey...saves some headaches and that eventual question "Where's the remote?!?" OH - the new remote has a "find me" feature so you can hit a button on the streamer and the remote becomes a screamer.

    WARNING! DOES NOT do digital audio passthrough

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have both the old Chromecast with Google TV 4K (CCwGTV) and now the new Google TV Streamer 4K connected to the same TV and AVR so I can A/B compare both. Watching a YouTube TV football game that was broadcast in 5.1 surround sounds SO MUCH BETTER on my old CCwGTV because it does digital audio passthrough, which allows my Denon AVR to process the surround sound. However, Google TV Streamer processes the surround signal itself and passes a 5.1 PCM signal to my AVR. So, it’s no surprise that a $2K AVR processes surround sound WAY better than a $100 streamer, but it’s very frustrating that there is NO option for the Google TV Streamer to support audio passthrough! This will be a DOWNGRADE for anyone coming from a CCwGTV connected to an AVR for surround sound. Until Google fixes this, I’m sticking with my better sounding CCwGTV.

    The best thing that I brought. Ive had the previous chromecast for over 8 years and it finally broke. I went to best buy and got this in the same day. This version of chromecast has lightning speed and easy to use. Has everything you can think of. This is a Must buy in my book.

    Extremely intuitive and easy to use. No hands free voice assistant, but the remote has it, and it has a find my remote function! Interface is fast and smooth with every streaming service you can imagine! The ethernet port is a huge plus as well! Setup is a breeze, especially since it's synced with your Google account!

    I ended up purchasing this product for my Mom who got that JME subscription when TV Japan ended their broadcast on AT&T UVerse. Since our Samsung TV still does not that app, it was so cumbersome to stream it from a phone or tablet. So this devices solves all your problems. I also used it for NBA app as well since Samsung TV does not have that either. Another great feature is watching YouTube videos on it, this device renders the videos really pretty and you can search for items with the intuitive remote that it is packaged with. Setup is a snap, and it automatically imports all your Google settings if you choose to do so.

    Overall this is a really good streamer if you don't want an Apple TV. Need to make sure that you have an HDMI cable that's correct because sometimes the audio will be not in sync and you'll have to restart your device. It's pretty fast and easy to use and the find my remote feature is really useful especially if you have kids. Overall I would recommend it

    The Google TV Streamer (4K) is awesome! Super easy to set up, and it looks good, too—the white color doesn’t stand out too much, so it blends in. The picture quality is really sharp, and using Google Assistant to find stuff saves so much time. The remote was a bit weird at first, but now it feels natural. I love how everything’s organized on the screen; all my shows, apps, and recommendations are easy to find. If you’re looking for a simple, good-quality streaming upgrade, this one’s worth it!

    This was a welcome upgrade for the Chromecast lineup. I had the previous Google TV with Chromecast 4K that came out a couple years ago and while that's still worked and did everything that I needed to do, this device does that but perfects it to a tee. Few if you were looking for a streaming device it doesn't break the bank this one is perfect for you from the redesigned remote to the new features offered this is a great device

    At first i wast sure if it would be worth it or if it was really an upgrade other than more memory and a faster processor. I will say this. It was way better in every aspect. I was upset at first becasue it did not come with an HDMI cable but bought one anyway and its works great. Faster, and clearer Sharper. So yes i love it.

    Solid upgrade to Chromecast, and a wonderful new Google TV streaming device. Google TV is starting to get a little loaded with lots of ads and promoted content, but it's still an A+ streaming setup, and I prefer it over others, and it plays well with Pixel devices. Be warned, no HDMI cable in the box. New remote is nice and easier to use, and harder to lose. Solid Google design and quality.

    Works so much better than the previous versions. Zero issues whatsoever. And the free channels are great. Definitely the best out of the ones that are out there. I've had fire stick and Roku. This is by far the best and you don't get a million ads. Plus it keeps track of your watched so you can easily pickup where you left off.
