    Google TV streamer works great for those who want and like the android tv experience. It's snappy and integrates with Google home.

    Was very excited about the hardware upgrades only

    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.

    Very small and slippery you will need a silicone cover for a better grip. Using it with YuoTube TV. A very poor confusing interface only made usable b/c the voice control works well to navigate quickly roto what you were looking to see.

    Oh my do I like this. I upgraded from the previous Chromecast to this newer model. It's great. In addition to the being able to stream everything, it has a built in DVR or something magical, that I just love. I can now rewind my news and weather, or whatever it might be that I just missed or did I hear that right? Very happy that I invested in this.

    A very good device, mostly useful for older pcs that lack smart tv functionality, or for tvs that have a slow smart tv functionality. Very snappy and fast, though sometimes has issues when working with a vpn app. Most of the time it works great.

    For me this was a better option than the Amazon Fire Stick. I tried the latter but it wouldn't work on my T.V. for some unknown reason.

    Big up upgrade from the OS on the smart TV

    Way more responsive compared to the OS on the smart TVs. I also like how it combines all movies or TV shows from multiple apps like Netflix or Peacock into one page too see what is available easier. 4K quality is superior as well.

    Adding Ethernet + an upgraded remote + more onboard memory + a find my remote button makes this a worthwhile upgrade over the Chromecast 4k

    This works very well to display your phone apps like Youtube onto your TV without needing to connect to your cable service. It works quite well. You can flip back and forth between your cable channels and the applications on your phone.
