I hate mine, particularly the Launcher experience. If it works with Projectivy then I'll keep it, otherwise it's going in the bin.
Ontersted to get one. But my question is. If i for an exampöe turn on my ps5. Will the remote still work on my tv or how does that worn since im changing hdmi input to my ps5 from the google streamer
Sounds almost like they designed it deliberately with limitations so that they can refine features/size in future versions, to ensure people keeping buying the product line.
I regularly use Fire Sticks in my home as they're easy to hide behind the TV's however I also own an Nvidia Shield and am perplexed that it can still outperform newer devices.
I still have a 4k chromecast as a backup never thought the tv streamer was enough of an upgrade to consider
I m currently using a fire cube 3d gen
I've watched a few videos which recommend xiaomi Mi 3d gen
I would consider if amazon block side loading completely
why cant we make a straight to the point review.
Firetv cube and apple tv are the best
Have so many but need to find the time to check out which.I was wondering how this works so appreciate you sharing.Im sure I need to take the time to see what I can do.Thank You for Sharing.💯✌️
I first had the Chromecast 1st gen. and I loved it. Then, I changed to Chromecast 4K and I loved the interface, but the ads just got worse, practically forcing you to buy a YT subscription. I thought that was bad? You should see the ads in Google TV Streamer! Not happy! The hardware looks like a tepid improvement attempt. Not what you expect when you pay £ 99.
