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.

  16. My mom has one of the original chrome cast versions and she uses it every. single. day. We love it because easily connects to all our devices! I loved hers so much I bought one of my one! But my moms is getting a bit old so I wanted to win one to replace hers!! We’ll be using it to stream the seasons of Fargo together!

  18. I like that I can stream shows from my tablet or phone and dont need cable to watch our favorite shows. We cant wait to stream our favorite shows and movies.

  21. I like being able to make a playlist for my Chromecast to play so that I don’t have to channel surf and waste my time.

  29. I love the simplicity of chromecast and that it integrates with my existing google home setup and I would love to be able to stream the new mandalorian season in 4k.

  31. Why I love the new Chromecast? Simple: the remote! It’s one step closer to a complete tv experience that is also smart and conveniently connected to all my other google home products.

    Oh I also can’t wait for the update to enable Stadia!

  38. Love how seamless it is to use, that you can control it with your phone, and can’t wait to stream the Mandalorian!

  39. Hi, I have been using the Chromecast Ultra and like it. I mainly use it with Prime Amazon. I have read several articles about the differences between Chromecast Ultra and Chromecast with Google TV. I would like the latter to be able to use the remote and have the interface on the TV so it simplifies searching for something to watch, which I am finding a limitation in our current setup and, as a result, don’t watch and use Chromecast Ultra as much as we otherwise could. That would be my main reason for trying the newer device. Hope to win one. Thanks.

  41. I like that Chromecast allows me to stream content from all streaming sources available to me as well as on my devices on my TV! The first thing I would stream would be The Mandalorian!

  47. Can’t wait to try out the new remote and features! I use my Chromecast all the time to stream things from Netflix to yoga.

  48. Love the interface, aggregation of streaming services, inclusion of Android Tv, powerful yet simple, controls your tv and includes a well designed physical remote and 4K output at a bargain basement price.
