If I only use streaming apps like Netflix and Disney +, will I see ANY appreciable difference between CCwGtv and a Shield?

People really hype the shield as the best of the best, and I have been considering getting one. I currently have a CCwGtv and love it. Will there be any different between the two. They are both passing a digital signal via HDMI so I'm not sure what the difference would even be.

Google TV is trash

When it came time to buy a fancy new big TV for the living room I waffled between a Roku TV and a Sony with Google TV. I have a couple of other Roku TVs and love them but decided the Google TV would be better, have more features, and would work better w PS5. That a HUGE MISTAKE.

Over several months now I've not once been able to get Amazon Prime app to play video. The Disney app is hit and miss with inconsistent log in issues. NBA TV sometimes works and sometimes doesn't and even when it does it doesn't do things like FFW and RWD well at all.

I ended up having to buy an external Roku device and use that when the apps fail on Google TV which is all too often.

I don't know or really care who's fault it is. All I know is the same app will work perfectly on Roku and not on Google and I'm pretty damn tired of it.

Play Movies & TV app will disappear from Roku and other smart TVs soon

Do you think Android TV will also be affected by this decision in a not so distant future?

It is already gone from Google TV and replaced with access to Play Store video purchases directly through the interface and on YouTube.

Apple TV app on GoogleTV - cannot log in

I've just bought Sony A90J with GoogleTV and everything is perfect, except for Apple TV app, which I can't log into. When I open the app and choose to log in it doesn't work. If I choose to log in using mobile device it jus tells me after 2-3 seconds that there was a problem and I should try later (there is no code, QR generated - just this message). When I try to log in by typing password manually using TV remote it "loads" for about a minute and then tells me it's unable to log in. App has been updated to the newest version, TV OS and firmware as well. I am unable to delete the Apple TV app to reinstal it, I can only "Disable" the app.
Do you know of any solutions to this?

Remove only "Google Play Movies & TV" from Google TV

Hello, as the title said, I want to remove just "Google Play Movies & TV", not all the other apps. I know about app only mode, but this is not useful because it removes everything.

Is there an official or alternative (sideloading) way of doing that?

Thanks.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the new google TV UI ?

I personally feel overwhelmed by the amount of information it shows and filled with random unnecessary reccomedations. For context i have not tried it yet, but looking at reviews online it kinds gives me a reason not to buy the new Chromecast.

I highly prefer the android oreo UI thats gives you your main apps at glance while also mantaining some reccomedations from other apps. Keeping a balance.

Again, my opinion may change once I try it, but if anyone of you have used it, please tell me how is it and how did the transition felt like to the new UI from the old one ? Lemme know.

Play Random Shows from "playlist"

I use Chromecast with Google TV as my streamer device. (I prefer it over Firestick)

I'm trying to accomplish something, and not sure if its even possible. I would like to create a "playlist" of TV shows for example; (Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Friends, Cheers, Family Guy, etc) assuming I'm subscribed to the services that hosts the shows. I would like to be able to play random episodes of the shows in the playlist, like 1 random show of Happy Days, then 1 from Laverne & Shirley etc

Kind of creating a "night of TV" from back in the day in how it used to be, but with new technology.

Any ideas?

Controller input lag

Hey guys :)
I've got an Android tv (
https://www.amazon.es/Ultra-Android-Chromecast-Incorporado-Netflix/dp/B07NGKQB88) and I'm ok with it's performance overall.

Only problem I've found so far is that any gamepad controller I try to use, suffers from some input lag (would say around 200ms), which makes it impossible for me to play any game in it.

Tried different types of controllers (low, med and high quality) but all of them have around the same input lag.

Tried EASYSMX 9101 (a 20$ controller that works great for me in PS4 and PC, but not on android TV), a PS4 controller and a Razer Raiju Mobile.

Tried to use them using all the options I had (wireless/wire connection), but nothing seems to work for me.

Tried to use them on emulators, Stadia and GeforceNow (I know these 2 will give me some input lag anyway since it's a cloud gaming service, but not this high since I use them on PC and my android smartphone and I don't feel any input lag there with the controllers mentioned).

Does anyone know what could I do? Thanks.
