GoogleTV Streamer (4K) - Fast Streaming Entertainment With Voice Search Remote - Watch Movies, Shows, Live TV and Netflix in 4K HDR - Smart Home Control - 32 GB Storage - Porcelain

I have used a google chrome cast on the past but I always had some sort of issue, I have recently been running the internal apps on my Sony TV but even with the superb motion settings that tv offers I still noticed judder/stutter especially on 50hz material as all internal apps are 60hz natively, it can handle 24hz in a 60hz container impeccably but I am so sensitive to any motion interpretation etc so when watching 50hz through the internal tv apps it wasn’t very nice to my eyes.This Google Streamer has solved all of my issues (massive thanks to the match frame rate) in the system settings I finally get to see content as it’s supposed to be viewed and it’s much nicer on my eyes.It runs every file I throw at it from my emby server along with iptv perfectly without a hitch.A massive feature is HLG support which the “best android box” doesn’t support which is a game changer for what I use it for it’s a very reasonable price for what it offers overall.It has a gigabit Ethernet port which is a must for any high quality streaming content and it doesn’t feel sluggish when used for a long period, I’m hoping it will last a very long time because it has fixed many problems other streaming devices couldn’t handle in the past.

The Chromecast with Google TV (4K) has completely transformed the way I stream. Setup was incredibly quick—plug it in, connect to Wi-Fi, log in to your streaming accounts, and you’re ready to go in minutes.Performance-wise, it’s fast, smooth, and reliable. The 4K HDR picture quality is stunning, especially on newer TVs, and everything from Netflix to Disney+ loads quickly and plays without a hitch. The interface is clean and intuitive, with personalized recommendations that actually make sense.The remote is compact and comfortable, with dedicated buttons for Netflix and YouTube, and voice search via Google Assistant is surprisingly accurate—even when I mumble through movie names.Bonus points: it supports a wide range of apps (NOWTV, Prime Video, Apple TV, and more), and the integration with Google Home is seamless.Whether you’re upgrading your old Chromecast or just want a smart, affordable streaming device, this one’s a no-brainer. Five stars, easily.

Excellent video quality (new av1 codec) and have all apps running inc Pluto, Freevee, rakuten, plex , bbc iplayer , itv , ch5 , ch4.... doesn't have the hdr held while leaving apple tv , which is great. Ordered the silicone cover for remote too.. well worth it in my opinion, just remember you need a good quality hdmi cable and you are good to go. 🏅

Bought primarily for the app store.Better access to other countries apps than my LG TV. As long as your Google payment profile is setup right.Also allows you to run nordvpn as an app.Good HDMI CEC integration with the TV.Too much advertising on home screen but can set to apps only mode.Compared to a similar setup with a fire stick, not that much more expensive and cheaper than the Nvidia shield.1 Gig wired network interface unlike a lot of TVs

I actually bought the Chromecast from this seller due to the good reviewsI am not really sure to be honest why I needed one, except my husband kept going on and on how fabulous they were.So I took the plunge when it was Amazon prime week, and got the promotion. The cost at the time was £33.32, however had a £10 voucher, so added it. So the final costing £29.98. The price has gone back to the original and current cost of £58.78.So basically the Chromecast is a dongle that fits either at the side of your TV or the back, depending on the model.Arrived the next day with Prime, and to be honest wasn’t in a good place to get excited because all these type things come to me to sort with passwords etc as I am the one that knows them all.I left it a day, and felt much better the next day. I need not have worried, apart from putting the dongle in the Hisense TV, I just followed the instructions. One thing that always happens to me, same with “Alexa” takes an age for the wifi to connect. The initial set up was easy, remember to download the app on your phone so you can cast to the TV. Everything was fine and eventually worked well after twenty minutes for a decent signal from my wifi to connect, tried re-booting the signal, plug in and out etc. Eventually worked. I do get this issue with everything that needs to be synced. I had the same issue when on Virgin BB, now the same with the new provider. Maybe walls etc to close to the hub, I am not sure, but anyway, the main thing I got it up and running.We have just had our Pagan wedding review and had a stack of photos and my husband thought you could just cast from my phone and magically will appear on screen, well if it does, I have yet to suss that one out. According to Google, I have to download Google photo app to show on screen. So I downloaded the app, but in truth not looked on the TV as yet.Unlike Netflix which I can watch in any room, the Chromecast only works on one TV at a time, so although everything comes through my TV in my downstairs bedroom, I would need to remove the dongle into the living room.One thing I wasn’t happy about, the dongle overlaps two ports on the back back of my TV. My TV size in the bedroom is 43-46”. The dongle is big, and because of this and the overlapping of the port, I had to remove my NOW TV stick. So not happy about that. Why such a big dongle, some ports from different makes of TV maybe fine.Another beef I have on the white control panel. So a scenic for you as I did it. I was watching for the umpteenth time Vikings, I got it ready and got in bed to watch with my husband. I clicked play, and it went back to the beginning of season one. Same with anything I watch, if I pause a film and press the button it goes off and I have to redo the lot again, this is a pain, as a program with a lot of seasons is a nightmare as it just will not pause and start in the same place. If I say paused to go for a toilet break, then hit play, it comes on fine, but leaving more than five minutes, the screensaver comes on and all lost, so basically I do not bother setting anything up if I am going to be a while.I feel although the white control feels nice in the hand, there just isn’t enough to work with.Now for the actual streaming, majority of what we have watched is pretty good, maybe because I have ultra 4K not sure, but going from Netflix to say you tube is very fast, better than using Netflix from the TV.The volume on the side of the control doesn’t work unless you set it up correctly, go up to at least 80. Not that you will need it that loud, but I find it useful when watching old films that are not good quality.Chromecast hasn’t got many apps at all, and certain ones to use need a subscription. I would have thought Now TV would be on there, but it isn’t, so that makes a mockery of having all the apps in one place.Google do need to change the Chromecast, it is a bit behind some of the leaders. Firstly it is quite costly if other people want to watch their own device, the Chromecast isn’t multifunctional with all family members, only one.Not all channels from your TV will show on Chromecast. For example channel 4 etc. So you may have to source it from free view or freesat etc.There are a lot of you tube videos that actually are pretty good if you wanted to get the best out of it.It is nice to have just the one controlSo I have gone through some basics, some maybe irrelevant, some maybe useful, I am still learning.I do like the colour of the control and the Google assist works wellI am getting used to just one control instead of three, so that’s a bonus.It is a useful device, and I do use the Chromecast everyday,I have given 4* because there are more apps that should and could be included, and that being said, free apps..If you have a standard definition TV, maybe more advantageous having ultra HD or similar.Amazon works well and Netflix.I would only buy the Chromecast when on offer, I got a good price, so quite happy.
