Google Chromecast With Google TV

John B. Marine | 12/26/2020 11:10:00 AM | | | |
There was a reason why I didn't believe in the Google Chromecast. It was because it was a streamer- not like your average Android TV box. You had to rely on mobile devices to use it. Now comes the Google Chromecast With Google TV. I did my research through YouTube videos and wanted to see if this is any good. To state my thoughts after using it for one day (give or take), I have prepared this blog post. Welcome, one and all, to "John's Blog Space!"






Google Chromecast With Google TV


Meet the Google Chromecast With Google TV...

Google Chromecast With Google TV
^ from: (B&H) - This device is more than just a Google Chromecast; this one is a Chromecast With Google TV and Google Assistant.

Before I go any further, let me suggest there is a big difference between this Chromecast With Google TV and the base Google Chromecast. The Google Chromecast simply streams media from your mobile devices to your TV. The Google Chromecast With Google TV does the same thing, but differently and with more versatility. It most importantly can be operated without any mobile devices. Now let me share some basic specifications.


Google Chromecast With Google TV: At a Glance.

The Google Chromecast With Google TV is a device that features the round pebble that hooks into an HDMI port, and it comes with a remote you can use. What was the Android TV interface is now simply Google TV. It is the Android interface tailored exclusively for television units and through various Android TV boxes. Unlike having to rely on mobile devices for operation and only be able to use it to stream or cast, you have a physical remote to use with this device. This means you no longer have to rely on having your mobile device connected to WiFi and having to have the proper app to operate. You also have the comfort and convenience of using Google Assistant to help you utilize voice commands and even search for media and more through your voice. The Google Chromecast With Google TV can support HDTV, 4KTV, and HDR type television units. Its primary opposition include the Amazon Fire Stick 4K, and the Roku Streaming Stick Plus.

Setup is fairly simple. Where I hit snags in setting up the Chromecast With Google TV was in trying to have the Google Home app available. The problem I suffered was that I got notifications saying that I don't have enough space on my devices for the Google Home app. Thankfully, I had other methods to try to complete my installation of my Google Chromecast With Google TV. I later began to actually enjoy it along with finding some extra apps to enhance the experience.

It is possible you can play Android games on the Google Chromecast With Google TV. However, you are perhaps better left to using mostly light 2D-style games rather than any intense 3D Android games. I don't plan on using my Google Chromecast With Google TV for gaming.

The Google Chromecast With Google TV comes with 8GB of memory with about half of it being available for other material. So if you want to further utilize this device, you are best served to find a proper USB Type-C USB hub to hook in more devices and have more memory to install more material.

Now let me tell you how I came across this device.


Google Chromecast With Google TV: My Story.

So how did I get to explore the Google Chromecast With Google TV, and why did I care so much to be intrigued by it? Well recently, I began to feel disappointed of late with my Xiaomi Mi Box S after it has skipped out on my Internet connection. It also has randomly restarted on me. I initially bought the Xiaomi Mi Box S to be a more versatile Android TV box than my previous Google Nexus Player (or Google's "hockey puck" to some people). The Mi Box S has served me well as a media platform and as a separate Android device. Realistically, though, I felt it was time to move on. So around October or November of 2020, I began to research on the Google Chromecast With Google TV. I later wanted to get this fine device as a Christmas gift. And... I did! Because I'm a good boy! Honest! :D

It was to my surprise that I got a surprise Christmas gift for 2020- a brand-new 32-inch HDTV! When I started to consider rearranging things in my room to take advantage of the new TV, I began to think about installing my Google Chromecast With Google TV into my new TV. I could do it on my HDTV's three HDMI outputs (compared my my single HDMI port on my former HDTV). Once I put the package together, I could see and enjoy the Google Chromecast With Google TV to use the various programs and applications for it. I have basically used the Google Chromecast With Google TV for one day and decided to post a blog entry on it after one full day.


I will present to you my Final Thoughts on the Google Chromecast With Google TV in the next section.




Google Chromecast With Google TV: Final Thoughts


The Google Chromecast With Google TV is a worthy step up from the base Chromecast. It combines the Chromecast's wonderful streaming ability with the added incentive of the Google TV interface. You will be able to stream up to 4K with this device if you have the proper hardware. As a pure home media device, this device will serve you well. It is recommended to maybe invest in a USB hub compatible with the Google Chromecast With Google TV if you want more storage or want to perform more operations with this device. Other than that, the Google Chromecast With Google TV is a solid investment to any home media system.

This device can be found at a number of retail stores, selling for about $50 USD ($52 USD to $55 USD with taxes). It comes in three different colors: Snow (white color), Sky (light blue), and Sunrise (light pink).
