Apps Only Mode on New Chromecast

One thing I haven't seen talked about with the new Chromecast is you can disable all of the recommendations by enabling "Apps only mode". It does still show one banner at the top but all of the other tabs and recommendations are removed.

Xiaomi Mi Box Audio Stuttering, please help!!

Hello, not exactly sure if this is the place for it but I'll cut to the chase. So, a few months ago I bought a new mi box, it works fine and there's no problems except for all audio always stuttering, like almost every second.

I've tried using another box from a different brand with the same tv and same HDMI, same ports and all, no problems what so ever.

Yet with the Mi Box, I tried using a different TV, a different HDMI cable, different ports, turn HDMI CEC on/off, factory reset... none of those changed anything.

Can anyone please help me out here? Thanks in advance 🤗

Fullscreen Browser

What is everyone using for a fullscreen browser?

I tried Puffin but their proxying of sites caused issues, and you have to pay a subscription.

I've tried the Fire TV version of Firefox, which seems great, however I cannot get a menu to show up once I have browsed to a page! I have a mouse connected and had seen suggestions of clicking at the left edge of the screen but nothing happens.

I've tried Chrome, but you can't get rid of the address bar at the top of the screen.

Chromecast with Google TV - Retailers

Does anyone know where they will be sold tomorrow? Obviously we know Wal-Mart and Home Depot are carrying them. I know places like Staples and Best Buy also sell Chromecast products, however, I haven't seen anyone talk about purchasing from the aforementioned places. I'd like to be able to purchase one tomorrow without too much hassle.

UK Now TV subscribers

Any Now TV subscribers with an Android TV based smart TV will be interested to hear there’s a new Android TV Now TV app available. It doesn’t seem to integrate with Home Screen channels but at least it means not having to switch inputs any more. Oh, and it supports the “boost” pass so for £3 a month you can stream in 1080p EDIT: Looks like this might actually only apply to Sony TVs; I had to download it from the Play Store to get it so assumed it was available to all. Sorry!

We all know most of the specs of the new Chromecast with Google TV, but there are two specs that no one has reported/confirmed. Do we know if it has WiFi 6 and/or HDMI 2.1?

We all know most of the specs of the new Chromecast with Google TV, but there are two specs that no one has reported/confirmed. Does we know if it has WiFi and/or HDMI 2.1?

Every outlet only mentions the RAM, processor, Android version, and some other features, but WiFi 6 and HDMI 2.1 are actually the features I would like to have. Specially WiFi 6 for my Plex server.
