    Using this for LG TV that has limited app options (pre 2018). Android ecosystem is better in my opinion.

    Great so far, would recommend it. We had to purchase because our smart TV no longer had memory and we have not had a problem since.

    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.

      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 madebygoogle

    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.

    The buttons on remote have changed slightly from the last version, so adjustments are needed. But overall, very nice upgrade on the design.

    Google stream was easy to install to my Google TV. It allowed me to return my box to Verizon and save some money. It is well worth the cost.

    Highly recommend! Coming from the older Google casting/Tv products, this unit is fast! Tons of space to download apps, and the integrated Google home tab is a nice addition. Now have two of these!

    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

    So much more hassle than a Chromecast

    I bought this as a replacement for an aging Chromecast. For me, it's been extremely frustrating. The Chromecast was so simple. Just cast from my phone - done! With this device? Nope! As I've seen mentioned in another user's review, this device annoyingly requires a separate Netflix sign in to the app on the device. I tried removing the Netflix app from the device and casting directly from Netflix on my phone, as I would with a Chromecast, but that did not work. I'm forced to use an awkward arrangement with Netflix logged in both on this device and my phone, and the two sometimes seem to conflict. Even the setup was annoying. I had to search the web and then navigate through layers of settings to be able to control audio from my phone's app. I realize there is a separate "remote" in Google Home, but why should I use that when I'm already in the app I want to cast from? Why not just let me control the very basic functions that I always could, and the only ones I need, like Chromecast used to? Many times I want to throw this device against the wall. The device probably has many features that I'm not using, as others leaving high reviews seem to experience. For me, though, it makes me want to scream in frustration almost daily, and I hate that I feel like I was coerced into getting a device with degraded functionality and charged extra for it.

    Noticeably more performant than the previous Chromecast with Google TV 4k, but you still wouldn't want to use it to play video games. The addition of an ethernet port is a nice touch too.
