    I'm sure this device works for other setups, but I had no such luck. Device streams good quality but does not sync dialogue with surround system setup through eARC and randomly turns off

      Hey there, JohnB. We’re sorry your experience with the Google TV Streamer (4K) hasn’t been the best. Here’s a few troubleshooting steps to get your audio back on track:

      1. Check if you have a compatible HDMI cable.
      2. Reboot the Google TV Streamer.
      3. Check whether your TV, AVR, or soundbar has an audio offset adjustment setting
      4. Check if the “Dialogue enhancement” and “Volume leveler” settings are disabled. If it’s enabled, turn it off.
      5. Check if the surround sound setting is disabled. If it’s enabled, turn it off.

      Reach out to us if the issue persists. We’re just a click away:: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp?sjid=1168929876280557452-NC&visit_id=638674861917928406-808865731&rd=1 madebygoogle

    This thing is a joke.

    To the design team of this product: find another profession, preferably one where you work with fingerpaints or something. This is what happens when toxic positivity is allowed to run amuck in organizations. No one stopped and said, "Hey, this may not be ready to release yet." This is, without a doubt, the biggest joke of a product I've seen from Google, and I'm a Pixel user. If all you want is to watch Netflix, Prime, Disney, etc., there are cheaper options out there that work just as well/better. If you want to do something other than that, then you'd better light some candles, do a dance, and hit the liquor store because you're going to need it. Hope you like ads, because you're going to see a lot of them. Want it to work with Google Home? Well it sorta does, but not really. Think it will work out of the box? Think again. If you don't have someone IT savvy around, you will want to throw this thing through the window. If you're a Plex user, run fast, run far and then keep running--all the way to the grocery store, and purchase a potato because it will work just as well as this thing. I'm seriously considering not returning this item and burying it in my backyard just to spare at least one unfortunate soul from having to deal with this steaming pile of streamer.

    We have 3 others of the last vintage still in use. So far this new unit is more responsive than the last generation. The Atmos a/v seems more solid too. For me it’s worth the upgrade cost.

    This google tv streamer, it's probably the best product I upgraded to from the google chromecast. Better upgrades, a remote finder, and come with ethernet port.

    One best streamers on the market, but definitely was a transition from having the HDMI and power built-in to the plug in through HDMI and power versus having to have a dedicated HDMI cable and power

    It works fine but its expensive for what it is, given it does the same thing as the old $30 chromecasts. Also it couldnt turn my tv on and off with the included remote.

    Most improved streamers on the market have every future you would want in a streaming player and for a good price rival any player in that class

    The buttons on the control are not as user friendly like the Chromecast remote. Otherwise it's a technological upgrade that you may or may not appreciate.

    This new Streamer is a good device and works well. Google could also include an HDMI cable. Get an Ultra High Speed HDMI cable for best results. Replaced Google TV dongle.
