Chromecast with Google TV (HD) - Streaming Device

My TV revives, I am very happy, very good acquisition.

I love it it works really well. I like it better the the first chrome cast I had.

A great way to update your old TV. Get access to all streaming services!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't had time to explore everything about the Chromecast. I have only streamed TV shows, and downloaded some apps to it. It was very easy to set up and the remote control is easy to o operate. The instructions take you step by step in programming the device to work with your tv. I have been able to stream news channels as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this Google Chromecast because I have an older tv that did not connected to Wi-Fi. This is really easy to install by just plugging to the tv and use. The remote control makes it easy to navigate and start steaming immediately.

It works fine like a Roku or fire stick but we try to cast to it it doesn't work when it comes from laptops to the device when you cast from your mobile phone to the device it works fine.

We have been using Rokus to stream for years but found them to be lacking in a few areas and decided to give Chromecast a try. We found this device to be very non-intuitive to use as compared to our Roku devices. The start screen is crowded with what can only be described as advertisements for content from service providers. The Google TV interface is, apparently, an effort to consolidate all of your current subscriptions into a single jumping off point, but all it does is create a mess. All we wanted to see on the screen is icons for the apps that we wanted to install such as Hulu, Disney , ESPN , etc., and we were hoping that the Chromecast versions of some of our apps would be better than the Roku versions. They were not. In fact, Chromecast didn't even have versions for some of our Roku apps. In many cases, Google searches revealed that we are expected to stream content from our desktop computers and/or smartphones to the Chromecast device in order to access it. With great difficulty, we found and implemented workarounds for most of these limitations (such as using the buggy web browsers available for Chromecast to access the content,) but it was complex and time consuming, and I doubt we could have accomplished it without expertise in computers that most people lack. The moral of the story is, if you are using Rokus or any other devices and are familiar and comfortable with how they work, you will have a large learning curve if you try to switch to Chromecast. At least we did, and we found no obvious advantages that made it worth the trouble.

I bought as new but I received a returned item. Box opened, batteries opened scuff marks all over the remote. The person is still signed in on this unit.

it was a impulse buy i tried to cancel but couldn't find it sorry
