Worked for me
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Close but not quite there yet.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would have left 5 stars if the streamer was a true nvidia shield replacement. But it is missing full audio codec support to playback ripped blu ray in their full detail. Some files just won’t play properly. It is a nice device, it has plenty of video codecs available, DV HDR10+. It is speedier than last gen but the nvidia shield is still my go to. If you aren’t worried about plex file support and have a Samsung tv, the streamer is a great option for hdr10+ along with the newest Apple TV. It is nice that it runs the latest version of google tv

Home run streaming box
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used Fire TVs and Chromecasts back and forth, I think Google TV is it. Googles current interface hits it out the park. I feel like Amazon's ui is just slow and looks dated

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wonderful Streaming device and solved an issue I had with my Apple TV 4K. I loved my apple streamer because I have ipads that it could communicate with. The issue is that it did not communicate well with my JBL sound bar in that I would lose sound at times and would have to go back a page or restart the apple box. I have another apple box amd JBL sound bar on another tv with same results. This does not happen with the Google TV Streamer 4K.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.works great on my 2012 TV. I can see apps like Netflix, which were not compatible with my old TV, but I can see them now. Overall, no stability issues have been reported so far. Happy with my purchase. A bit expensive for 100 bucks. I think they should have kept the Chromecast option.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was looking for something to control my Samsung TV using my Google Home. I found it difficult to learn at first, but that is more because of me than the product. Eventually i will be able to use everything I wanted from It.

Great streamer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really works good great picture and sound, very affordable. Now the remote works okay, but super slippery and seems to be for small hands. Ordered a remote case from Amazon but like usual it's late delivery

Google TV 14 needs to be fixed.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.More than the device, the OS, Google TV 14, needs some fixes. App search is quite flawed, and Google Play Store app is deeply nested into system settings, almost impossible to find. The device itself is snappy and easy to use.

Great surprise
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Didn’t know this was a streaming option. After my fire stick but the dust I’ve been using this and really liking it!

Great interface, dodgy remote
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the OS, and it's definitely snappier than the Chromecast with Google TV 4K. However, the remote's d-pad can stick from time to time, causing you to zoom past your selection, or can fail to respond. I also miss having a rechargeable remote. In contrast, the Roku has a less appealing interface, but their remotes are rechargeable and more responsive. I'd pay $50-100 more for a truly high-end Google Streamer with the same interface, a bulletproof remote, and specs to match the old but venerable NVIDIA Shield. Too bad nobody wants to make it.

Posted .Hey there, KRSFun. Thank you for providing your insight for your Google TV Streamer (4K). We're happy that you are enjoying the OS and the improved speed. That said, here are some quick troubleshooting steps for when you feel the remote is not responsive:
Remove both batteries from the remote.
Reinsert them and check if the LED flashes twice.
If the LED doesn’t flash twice, remove and reinsert the batteries within two seconds. Repeat if needed.
If the LED still doesn’t flash twice, replace the batteries with the original ones that came with the remote. If these batteries aren't available, use two fresh 1.5-volt AAA batteries.
Lastly, remove both batteries, wait 5 minutes, then reinsert them while checking for the LED to flash twice.
If the problem persists, our team is always happy to help. Get in touch here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp?hl=en
Great upgrade to chromecast
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Google tv streamer is a great upgrade to the Chromecast 4k. It's got great storage and expandability. The best part is that this time around it has an Ethernet connection built in.

Google streamer does what I wanted it for
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought it for the simple fact I have a google smart home and wanted to have access to see the cameras on the tv. I had a chrome cast before this and it’s much quicker than the cromecast

Horrible audio issues
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very responsive and I love the new remote, but the device has major audio flaws and Google was not prepared for them at all. Spent an hour troubleshooting and then reached out to their support and was asked to do the same things. They ultimately offered to replace if I sent it back, but the next one I got did the same thing. Hopefully an update will be pushed soon to remedy this, but for now it's a painful experience. Rating as 2 stars because of the excellent remote. Will update review once fixed

Google Streamer
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The longer remote is easily the best upgrade. The response between applications is very smooth. If you're in the market to upgrade then get it, but if you already have the Chromecast then there's no rush to change.
