Want to know what everyone else is watching? There’s the Trending on Google row, with titles trending on Google Search. To resume where you left off, check in on the Continue watching section. In the Your apps row, quickly access all of your favourite apps. In the Top picks row, you’ll see shows and movies recommended for you. Looks like this needs a bit of work or some renaming.Ī tab called For You tab gives you recommendations from all your streaming services.Īt the top of the screen, view trailers for featured movies and shows. In the end I found it… buried in a tab called Library. While adding something to your Watchlist is easy, finding it to browse is not… It’s not in your main tabs, and you can try asking Google for it but it kept calling up a TV show called Watchlist.

To get started, simply search Google for a movie or TV show.

Since the Watchlist feature is available via Google Search, you can use it on an iPhone, iPad, Android device, or any web browser. (You do have to be signed into your google account). You can add to your Watchlist right from a Google search on your phone or laptop, and it will be waiting on your TV when you get home.
Google TV’s Watchlist lets you bookmark movies and shows you want to save for later. Personalized recommendationsĬhromecast with Google TV will make personal recommendations based on what you’ve watched and what interests you, (it apparently draws this from the channels you’re signed up for and logged in to) from across your subscriptions and content available to you. It’s a lot like Apple’s watch now if that’s familiar to you. One of Google’s big selling points on this device is that Google TV organizes movies and TV shows from your subscribed services in one place. Let’s get to know the Google TV interface and what it can do. The Chromecast with Google TV is 4K ready, has Dolby Vision (it also supports HDMI pass-through of Dolby audio content) and HDR and can stream 60 fps. The new voice remote can also be used to control your TV or soundbar, change the volume, switch inputs, and more. Sometimes, and trust me on this, it’s just easier to grab a remote and punch one or two buttons, instead of finding my phone, unlocking it, navigating to the right app, loading it and then trying to control the TV. I think the addition of a remote is great. Roku has always offered a remote with its streaming devices and with its previous generations of Chromecasst, Google seemed to pooh-pooh physical remotes in favour of using only your smartphone, thought it has obviously changed its tune.
The big new addition to the package here is the addition of a physical remote-with voice control. It’s also being made in a handful of pastel colours too. It retains the same puck-and-HDMI cable configuration that makes it super easy to hide behind your TV.
The all new Chromecast with Google TV has been redesigned it’s now got a softer, more pebbly rounded shape kind of like the new Nest Audio speakers did. While I do that, I’ll also share some other reasons why you might want a Chromecast, even if you do have a streaming TV. In this review I’ll take a look at what the streaming dongle can do, its key features, and whether I think it’s a good buy. Google’s new Chromecast with Google TV just launched. For others it’s about being able to connect your TV and smartphone, tablet ,or laptop, since some TVs’ operating systems don’t play nice with all phones. For a lot of folks, choosing an external streaming device means they get a familiar operating system they know and like.
