"Chromecast with Google TV"

I'm sure most, if not all of us already have the older chromecast
But the new one just dropped a few days ago
It finally has its own separate user interface
Possible FireTV stick replacement?, Or Roku replacement?
Who coppin? Check the video.....

Yeah, there really isn't a huge difference between each streaming device
I guess it all depends on which eco system the person prefers

I just picked up the new chromecast a few minutes ago from Bestbuy
I'm going to give my parents my old chromecast (the 1080p one, from 2 years ago)

I assume Kodi can be side loaded, as well as other apps, just like a fire stick

Too little too late..muffuckin Nvidia Shields and Android TV boxes have taken over..brah
 
just received mine the other day. I moved the shield to the living room, and put this in my room. The interface is really nice and the remote is bonus. It's pretty much a smart tv (Google TV) on a chromecast.

:lol: not sure, i just checked to see if it could be installed. That's as far as i'm going. but if you can play video games (Stadia) on it, the same way you play on Nvidia, i would think so.

Yeah, I dont think its supposed replace the Nvidia shield
But take into account:
Nvidia Shield == $200
New chromecast == $50

I think its good for:
1. If you have an older 1080p chromecast from a few years ago & want to upgrade
2. If you just bought a TV for the bedroom or guest room & want an extra streaming device
3. A good Christmas gift for a family member, or for an older person
4. Someone who doesn't need the extra horsepower of a Nvidia shield, & doesn't play video games

:cool::cool::cool:

The 4k plug-in joint. I was looking at the box version, but I still don't know what the advantage of it is over the stick.

So is this just a firestick with out all of Amazon's bullshit all over the place?

Yep, correct, pretty much :cool:
I canceled my Amazon prime account a while ago
I dont order enough shit from Amazon to justify the free next day shipping on "some" items
Plus, amazon primes movie selection was shit to me

My firebox/firestick was hardly getting used
Because I cast from my computers & used my chromecast WAY more
 
just bought an LG 65"TV with the following:
Apple TV+, CBS All Access, Disney+, Google Play Movies & TV, Hulu, Netflix, Pandora, Prime Video, SHOWTIME, STARZ, Sling TV, Spotify, YouTube, YouTube TV, Apple AirPlay 2, Miracast

Without giving it away, I'm guessing you're casting certain sites from your chrome browser. I personally use the firefox browers on the Firestick for that but it can be an adventure at times, so I completely get why you would need something like that.

Other than that I use my Firestick for Tablo, Plex, YouTube, Pluto, Tubi, Stirr, Xumo and the Roku Channel.

Yeah, I'm constantly casting chrome tabs from my laptop
So it gets a lot more use than my Firestick
And looks like Plex can run on the new chromecast

But I've never even heard of some of those apps you posted (Tablo, Pluto, Xumo)
Might have to install them on this new chromecast & check them out

:cool::cool::cool:
 
I've been using it for a few days. This shits on a fire stick. Much faster and better interface imo. And the Youtube TV integration is a nice bonus for those of us who subscribe. Even the casting is better than previous chromecasts. There's nothing better at this price point.
