This streamer works very well. Easy to set up and use. And it can connect without using Wi-Fi.

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.

WARNING! DOES NOT do digital audio passthrough

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.

I have been using the Google TV streamer for a while now, and I like it. The remote is comfy if a little small, and the remote finder feature is the best I've used. The speaker in the remote is a loud piezoelectric speaker that I have no trouble hearing. I wasn't sure I was gonna like Google TV, but the modularity of it got it to grow on me. I use the Projectivy Launcher, which is free on the Play Store with an eight dollar upgrade, and I bought the upgrade. Projectivy Launcher gets rid of the obnoxious ads and lets you go as wild or simple as you want. My layout is just streaming services in a line and an animated background. You don't need this specific streamer to use Projectivy, you can do the same with a Chromecast with Google TV, TCL, Sony, Hisense, Onn box and anything else with the Google TV operating system. My big gripe with the Google TV streamer is the steep price for what you get. I think a hundred dollars is pretty steep, I think if it had more processing power, then sure, but it's not as fast as, say, the Apple TV. I think a second gen streamer should come with a better processor without a price hike.

I bought this device to replace a Firestick and I absolutely love it! It has the storage space I need for all my streaming apps. It allows me to switch between the apps with ease. And, an added bonus feature for me is the continuing watching widgets for each app on the home screen.

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.

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.

I am a big fan of the Google TV/Chromecast products. I have used all of the recent generations of these devices, and thus one is my favorite so far. It seems more powerful than the Google TV that is built in to my one year old TV.

The Google TV Streamer 4K is a fast streaming device that offers 4K HDR support, 32 GB of storage, and a porcelain finish. It replaces the Chromecast with Google TV and is designed to provide a premium streaming experience. The device features a new smart home control interface and AI-driven recommendations, making it a strong contender in the streaming market. However, it is more expensive than previous generations and is available in two colors: Hazel and Porcelain. The device also includes an Ethernet port, HDMI 2.1, and USB-C for power, enhancing its functionality and stability.

It's really the only option if you like the Google TV platform and need to replace a dying NVIDIA Shield TV. I had originally tried an Onn 4K Pro, but it suffers from Bluetooth audio issues, something I require for my setup.
Setup is super simple, plug in, follow the prompts, sign in from your phone. Works well with Plex, Jellyfin, YouTube, and all the other streaming platforms. I've also been able to pair a DualSense and 8BitDo controller to use on-device retro emulation and Moonlight to stream games from my PC on the opposite end of the house. I regularly connect my Corsair headset to it via Bluetooth when the house needs to be quiet.
I have yet to find anything I dislike about it. Maybe the weird shape of it? I was able to 3D print a bracket and mount it behind my TV so I guess that's probably irrelevant.

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!

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

I'd like this more than the fire stick. It is very easy to set up and the interface is very clean and intuitive. I think the remote is a little touchy. I wish the buttons weren't as sensitive because I accidentally hit the wrong button on occasion. Overall very good product and I would recommend.
