Chromecast with Google TV brings you the entertainment you love, in up to 4K HDR.[3] Get personal recommendations based on your subscriptions, viewing history, and content you own, all in one place. No more switching between apps to decide what to watch. And use the remote to search with your voice.[4] [1]Chromecast with Google TV requires a TV with an HDMI port, a Wi-Fi network, a Google Account, a nearby electrical outlet, and a compatible mobile device. Minimum OS requirements are available at g.co/cast/req. [2]Subscription services may be required.

Wirecutter

The redesigned Chromecast player offers an intuitive interface, intelligent search, a useful remote, and support for 4K HDR video (including Dolby Vision).

Consumer Reports

The revamped Google Chromecast is now called Chromecast with Google TV. The player is a 4K model that supports the HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision HDR formats. The new model comes with a voice remote that has a dedicated button for Google Assistant, the company’s voice-powered digital assistant. Earlier versions lacked a remote control, so you had to use a smartphone or tablet to control the player.
Another change is a home screen that organizes movies and TV shows from all your favorite services in one place, so it’s easier to find what to watch. The player is offered in three colors: Snow (white), Sunrise (pink), and Sky (baby blue).
Best for: Anyone who likes the Android TV platform and the ability to control other compatible smart devices. By contrast, the older Chromecast, which required you to use your smartphone, was really best for tech-savvy users.

I already liked the WebOS on the LG TV, and was curious to see how this new Chromecast would fare. Well, yesterday was the last day I'll be using it as my go-to device. The Chromecast is insulting; it's supposed to suggest movies and shows based on what you like, NOT on who pays Google the most. I've clicked on the "don't show services I don't use" toggle, but Google doesn't care

 The Chromecast is insulting; it's supposed to suggest movies and shows based on what you like, NOT on who pays Google the most. I've clicked on the "don't show services I don't use" toggle, but Google doesn't care.

It's just an ad machine

 Roku, Xbox, etc). As a result, the user experience is a little inconsistent. The watchlist function helps a bit as you can build your "currently watching" or "library" list across multiple streaming services so they're all in one place. However, generally, when you click the item on your list (depending what it is of course) you'll still just be punted to the service it streams from - and you'll have to find it there anyway

 This function (a good idea and why I bought the device) appears to be limited to content with some kind of licensing deal in place to allow for it. As a result it's not necessarily recommending the latest and greatest content, nor is it able to play the content natively in the Google TV user interface. Most of the time, you're still going to have to click into the streaming service your show/movie is on and find it there.

  So yeah, a little disappointing (as licensing limitations usually are) for the audience/user. Google's marketing of this device/platform as an aggregator of all the streaming services should be much clearer about this limitation.  Also to note - the remote itself is slippery and hard to hold on to. Do yourself a favor and get one of the cheap silicone covers to help (sold here on Amazon of course)

Underwhelming content aggregation

I recently discovered making a speaker group of my Chromecast on Google home means I can listen to Spotify and watch the slideshow of my dog pictures on the TV.

What is the best Chromecast tip/hack/use you have discovered in the last month?

 The device could use a little more processing power or possibly RAM. It's a little slow and jittery from time to time but not enough to ruin the experience. The remote is a little awkward to use if you're in a dark room and need to rely on the feel of the remote. It's just awkward and unintuitive

For the most part, I really like the Google Chromecast tv. I have several smart tvs and roku devices in the past so I had my own expectations going in. The device could use a little more processing power or possibly RAM. It's a little slow and jittery from time to time but not enough to ruin the experience

 The remote is a little awkward to use if you're in a dark room and need to rely on the feel of the remote. It's just awkward and unintuitive. The UI is pretty good and I think it's pretty easy to navigate and find what you need. Overall it's a pretty cheap and decent solution

 The UI is pretty good and I think it's pretty easy to navigate and find what you need. Overall it's a pretty cheap and decent solution. It gets the job done.

It's pretty good with a couple of small flaws

Why is the Bluetooth audio on the Chromecast with Google TV so bad. Don’t get me wrong, it’s better than not having any Bluetooth connectivity, but the amount of time I’ve spent reconnecting my AirPods over and over again while my food gets cold is ridiculous. It’s either too loud, too quiet, or the volume doesn’t change with the slider. It is very rarely correct, and when it is it’s after about 5 minutes of tinkering

Chromecast w/ ggl TV Bluetooth Audio

This is a great gadget to take your immersion with Google integration to the next level.  I love the ability to take all streaming platforms and present them in an integrated way.  Why toggle through Netflix and Prime and HBO go to find a comedy, when I can see them presented all in one ribbon, or have Google assistant display it with a verbal command.  Super intuitive and makes my life easier

 By providing more opportunity to hear verbal commands.  3. Integrate phone-saved username and passwords for my streaming platforms.  If I'm going to use my phone or laptop to setup the device

  Wish the chrome cast had its own speaker so I didn't need to have the remote to activate Google assistant to find things. Would also extend the range of my Google home. By providing more opportunity to hear verbal commands.  3

Fantastic tool that constantly evolves

Been waiting for YEARS to be able to stream video on one device and have the audio play on another, can finally do it through Bluetooth. No need for cables across the room anymore. Reason for 4 star is that audio has a minimal stutter every now and then. Might get fixed in an update

Can finally separate audio and video through Bluetooth

 The UI is a HUGE improvement from the last gen Chromecast that used micro usb. Oh, that being said, USB-C finally! My one gripe is it doesn't come with the 4K adapter, yet advertises as 4K capable. Technically that's not a lie, but shame on Google for not making it clear that the power brick adapter is not included. Like the older Chromecasts, the 4K adapter is a separate wall plug that has an ethernet port on the wall plug

 This should be included or have a version that includes it, esp with how wasteful it is without it! Oh well. Google has been a tad shady with their products from Fi service to Pixel lines these days. While I strayed from those, the Chromecast is still the best for its value. I also just love the new UI, and the voice remote (it works pretty well)

A Plug-and-Play Internet Music Streaming Device

I tried multiple times to have the Amazon Music service on the SONGBIRD app. I worked with support from Andover but we were unsuccessful. They eventually told me to return the unit for replacement. Still unable to stream Amazon music within the Songbird app and the new unit

 They eventually told me to return the unit for replacement. Still unable to stream Amazon music within the Songbird app and the new unit. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Songbird app, the Amazon music app and resetting the SONGBIRD itself. Nothing worked

 The unit itself sounds great. But if I can’t get it to work with Amazon, I will need to return the unit. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Cannot configure to play Amazon Music

If money is important, you should consider the Andover Songbird or the Arylic S50 Pro+. I have the Songbird at $150 and it does everything I need it to do. The Arylic is a bit more flexible but more similar than not and sells for $219. You do not get all the features that the far more expensive units offer but damned close

Hey everyone,

I've been looking into digital streamers a lot and was curious what everyone else has been using/doing? I've been frustrated with Spotify's quality directly from the Firestick/PS4, so I currently have my laptop hooked into my receiver. I've noticed digital streamers are pretty expensive, but bluesound makes a nice streamer that's ~$500. I'm just curious if there are other alternatives for those of us who stream music often but want high quality!

Best digital music streamers?

  HOWEVER, there was a problem: several online services I use, like Pandora and Deezer, were not on the Songbird's menu, and I couldn't find any advice on how to access them on the manufacturer's website.  After a lot of online searching, I found the answer, which I'm sure is obvious to the more tech-savvy, who are all screaming "USE AIRPLAY!" (or the Android equivalent.)  If you are as unfamiliar with Airplay as I was, here's what you do (after you have the Songbird working using the sources it its menu.)  1

In a world where a "bargain" streamer costs upward of $300, the Songbird is a real breakthrough. Setup takes a few minutes, using voice prompts from the device and an app you download to your smart phone. (Just make sure your phone and the Songbird are on the same wifi network)  In my case, one setup was done the music on my ancient Mac (using iTunes and an equally ancient Logitech Media Server) appeared instantly and played with great audio quality. Additionally, the Songbird app showed a number of online audioservices, and the ones I tried also worked fine

 Deezer, the KDFC and NPR apps etc)  You'll probably have to re-establish the airplay connection if you take your phone out of range, or switch it to earbuds or whatever, but sorting that out is easy if you understand the basic principle of what you're doing: You are playing these sources ON YOUR PHONE, but using your sound system (via Airplay and the Songbird) as the speaker for that phone.

Works great. and here's how to get ALL the streaming services on it

Best for Most
