A few years ago Google rocked my world by releasing the first version of Google Chromecast. I loved it! It turned any television into a smart TV, instantly … and for an amazingly low price. Since then, the whole chromecast ecosystem has become more extensive and useful. I use my original chromecast every day and I can’t wait to try the newest version, now with a great Google TV interface. Read on to learn more and to find out how to enter for a chance to win one.

Chromecast changed TV watching forever

Casting from my phone to my TV still feels magical. I’ve been doing it for several years using a Google Chromecast and it amazes me how easy, effortless, and predictable casting is. Few technologies promise so much from such a tiny device and deliver beyond expectation consistently as well as a Chromecast.

And the Chromecast experience keeps getting better. At first there were only a few things we could cast: Netflix was the most important! Then Prime became available and other apps. This summer I casted NHL games from the CBC sports app. The video and audio were fantastic.

Google improved on perfection with the new Chomecast with Google TV

I rarely use superlatives for the obvious reason that few things are “always” or “never” a certain way. For example, some people say it’s always raining in Vancouver … no, it’s not! However, I can say I am always happy with my Chromecast. I rely on it for almost all of my TV viewing. It’s technology at its best because it does what I expect it to do, every time.

That’s why I can’t wait to try the new Chromecast with Google TV. This new version has a remote that you can talk to via Google Assistant integration. The remote adds more funcationality to Chromecast since you won’t have to use your phone at all if don’t want to. Also new is an interface on the television that simplifies the process of finding series you are watching or new shows you want to watch. You can read more about the new features of this device on this announcement article we posted on the blog a couple weeks ago.

I love what Google has done with Chromecast and can’t wait to find out how this new device will improve in the future. If you too want to be one of the first to own the new Google Chromecast, enter this contest for a chance to win.

  20. I love that the Chromecast works with almost any TV with an HDMI port and I can’t wait to watch The Good Fight

  21. I would love to win one of the latest Chromecasts to update the main TV and move that one over to the kitchen. Nephews adore streaming Twitch videos off YT, and I love casting all kinds of video — movies and TV series — as an Amazon Prime Video member.

  22. I love the ability to not have to use my phone. Great idea! Not sure I’m too happy about assistant integration though, but willing to try.

  23. I love the ease of using you voice to stream movies you want to watch and I can’t wait to watch more of The Punisher with it

  24. Love the fact that it now has a remote and a full working interface! Would love to stream some Disney +

  27. Our “old” tv doesn’t have any updates anymore so download apps like Disney+ to it so this would be great.

  29. I would love to be able to cast from my phone to my tv so that I could watch monster trucks on YouTube with my grandson.

  31. I have been a big fan of Chromecast since its first release when android TV was not a thing. I have always enjoyed it, made my normal TV into smart tv

  32. I don’t have a streaming device but I’ve heard Netflix has awesome shows!! Its pretty boring these days. Would love to win!

  36. I would cast from my phone to Tv so i can watch Crave TV on the chromecast and definitely some basketball games from either TSn or Sportsnet.

  38. I like that I can cast from my phone to my TV using the Chromecast.

    I would cast my favorite movie trailers on YouTube.

  40. The thought of finally being able to cast from my Google phone to a tv! & then stream the new Enola Holmes!

  45. I am not that tech savvy, so I love that the Chromecast is easy to set up and easy to use. I would use it to stream Netflix as there is so much selection there!

  46. I love that you can use it with Google Home Assistant to turn on and off your tv and just ask for it to play a Netflix movie by just asking it to play it and not have to load up Netflix and search through and click on the movie you want. It is so much faster and easier. We the new one, I would look into streaming some of our favourite tv shows.

  47. This would be an amazing gift to win. I would like to try watching our grandsons play hockey from our local arena. They are only allowed one parent per child to watch their games, so we have been missing out. The arenas now have streaming of the games available through a streaming service that streams the games, and it would be awesome to be able to watch them play from our family room. I think the remote would be a very beneficial feature to have with this new version of Chromecast. Your review was great.

  48. This would be awesome to have, I would love to stream my favourite shows and watch some awesome movies and I would be able to watch Amazon Prime on tv

  49. We have 3 chromecasts in our house. We love them so much we bought one for my mom and one for our neighbors . I can not wait to try the newest version!!

  50. I’d love to win the new Google chrome cast. We had the original but unfortunately when i moved I forgot to take it out and it got bent and wouldn’t work anymore. We recently got rogers ignite so i thought that’s good we can use that but unfortunately rogers ignite doesnt have Disney+ and now my daughter can’t watch Disney. It would be great fo r her to have in her room. Thanks for the chance ♥️
