I purchased a fios stream tv hoping I could NOT have to have two boxes. I even kinda vaguely remember asking a verizon support member about it and they said GET A STREAM TV and you can stream verizon tv to it without another box.

​

I see I can't install that app... has someone sideloaded it? Anyone else have this prolem?

I've been told that there is an option on the Nvidia Shield to turn off Dolby Vision so that it outputs only HDR 10 . Does anyone know if this same option is available on the new Chromecast With Google TV?

I've had multiple android set top boxes over the years ranging from MINIX boxes to Nvidia shield TV boxes. Yesterday I got the new Chromecast with Google TV. Maybe it's my years of experience with Android TV versus my lack of time with Google TV, but I find the latter harder to navigate. Personally I feel like Google TV should have an area dedicated to my purchases and my library of movies. None of the recommendations are even similar to what I'm currently watching or my history. I think that UI looks cool but I'm not sure if the user experience is as good as Android TV.

It appears that the new Sabrina Chromecast is impossible to buy in Scandinavia. Have I missed something related to release dates or is it not coming to Scandinavia at all?

So yesterday I was watching YouTube TV and on the show a character said "OK Google play..." and my Google Home Hub heard it and started playing music while we were watching the show. I told Google to cancel to stop that request and it stopped the show and turned the TV off. Any idea how to keep this from happening? It was quite annoying lol.

Heads up before anyone buys the Hisense 65H6570G or any TV on it's family. Unfortunately you will not be able to use a USB stick it HDD for expanded storage. The option to format the device as internal storage is listed in the menu but the TV will always end up showing the formatted storage as having 0 bytes available and the Internal storage size will never change. It also does not look as if Hisense will be working to fix the issue so go ahead and ignore the part on the box about being able to use 4000+ apps and games.

Anyone with a sizable Android games collection knows that some of the best games on the platform are 2+ Gigs. Keep in mind that you only have 4 Gigs of storage available to you. Outside of the flawed implementation of Android TV, the device has a great picture. I may need to root this TV soon if possible. Currently the alternative options kinda suck. I don't want to have to navigate a Web OS or Roku menu just to get to a Android TV device that's connected. It's the whole damn reason for buying a TV with Android TV built in. -I know, first world problems. I'll keep pressing Hisense and see if someone with some sense will change their mind.

I was lucky enough to snag what seems to be the only available Chromecast with Google TV that was available in my entire area yesterday. In my short time with it, I have found the list of streaming services that the new Google TV can actually suggest from and deeplink with to be a bit misleading (or at least not fully operational yet) The list on the new website suggests that streaming services like Peacock and EPIXNow would be supported as being able to suggest titles from and include them in the "continue watching" list. Those don't actually appear to be supported services. Further, the device itself has a setting showing that Showtime is a linkable service, yet it very clearly it's not. (I searched for "The Comey Rule" for example) Titles that are available for me within the Showtime app do show up in the Assistant search, but they do not allow one to play from within the listing (as would be available for other services) so despite my Showtime account being "linked" the device doesn't seem to care. (I find this particular inconsistency even more ironic considering Showtime is the service that seemed to be the most aggressive in showing up in my "play next" line on regular Android TV)

From what I can tell after a few hours of heavy use, the streaming services that DO actually show up and deeplink with the new Google TV are: **Netflix **Hulu **YouTube TV (This works especially well with shows that are saved to ones "DVR" within YouTubeTV -- no commercials -- but they have surprisingly good VOD mivie coverage without commercials also. I was impressed. But it should be noted that several of the suggestions I got from YouTube TV ended up being VOD shows that stuck me with commercials too ) **Disney+ **HBOMax **STARZ **Amazon (no differentiation between videos included with Prime vs those that must be purchased vs those only available within a Prime "Channel" like PBS or Sundance though... So it's not as helpful when you see a show is available and open it only to discover you still need to pay for it) **Sling TV **Google TV (what I suppose would have been Play Movies yesterday) **CBS All Access

I'm not sure what we are calling these apps that are supported. But those are the ones that work consistently.

I've read some places that Google is going to be "adding more" but I've not seen that anywhere other than here in threads. Has there been actual word from Google saying they are continuing to add? Do we know the list of services that they specifically have in the pipeline?

Which services do you feel you'd want to see added next?

Hi, I've been waiting for new chromecast being presented. Now I'm wondering if it is better than Mi Box S My thoughts:

1. Google chromecast is not available yet in Poland, once it will be, probably will be more pricy as somebody have to import it to country
2. When it comes to specs, it isn't any better, am I right?
3. I saw some where that new UI will be available in Mi Box S in the future

What are your thought? Am I missing something? May be there is a third option? Or maybe you know a way to buy new chromecast in Poland (it is not on Amazon for example)

I’m mainly thinking about NowTV and BT Sport.

I’ve yet to find a device that has both of them natively.

(Title should say “if all the services”)

The onscreen gboard keyboard used to cover the whole section at the bottom but now only a compact one appears in the bottom center. Is there any way to change it back to the way it used to be?

Hi, I have a very basic question that I surprisingly haven't been able to answer despite 2 hours of google searches.

I now have an AT&T cable package that is an Android TV with chromecast built-in. I am able to easily stream content from my android phone/tablet to my TV, but when on the Chrome browser on my laptop and select the cast icon, it says "no devices found" despite being inches away from my TV.

All I want to know is if this chromecast built-in feature on my AT&T box supports laptop streaming, or if it is exclusively for android devices?

Hello

Does anyone who has this yet know if it works with the spectrum app that replaces your cable box?

Thanks!

Verizon recently released an Android TV box, basically a stock box but with a verizon app for TV streaming that is optimized for Android TV. From what I understand of the mobile Verizon Fios TV app for android, it is terrible when sideloaded for Android TV.

Is it possible someone could extract the Android TV optimized verizon APK from the Verizon box, and release it so other Android TV devices can sideload and use it?

On the new chromecast google tv. Only accessible via voice. Works great once its launched though.

Vudu isn't supporting 4K HDR (DV or HDR10)!! Is it working correctly for any other early adopters?

I have an LG TV with webOS, chromecast(3rd gen) and Xbox one S(for some streaming services) but having all the services I use in one place and one remote to control all of them is temping. Is it worth it or will I be wasting $50?

I thought I heard during the launch event today that integration between nest hello and Google tv was there. Anybody find any Info on this?

Could someone who has a home theater confirm this?
