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.

  2. I love that the Chromecast with Google tv will give me show recommendations from all my platforms. I can’t wait to stream the first show that pops up on the list.

  3. I would love not having to plug in my computer to my TV and constantly change cables. This would make my life easier and who don’t love Google right?

  5. I love that the new one combines all the streaming services into a single page. I can’t wait to use it to watch videos of puppies falling asleep while eating.

  6. I love that the new Chromecast comes with full Android TV experience plus the remote. Can’t wait to stream my favorite Netflix shows.

  8. Firstly, I have the second generation Chromecast on a 4K TV which only displays 1080p 30fps or 720 60fps, also I love having remotes, and I can play GeForce NOW which Chromecast cannot do. Secondly, I can put photos, shows, movies on the easy to use UI. Also, I love Android TV because of the UI but I have never had an Android TV and it has Chromecast built in which I love. In conclusion the Google TV with Chromecast is the best streaming stick right now.

  10. I have google nest and other google products but never tried chromecast for my t.v. and hear google tv is great. This would make an awesome birthday gift 🙂

    • I love the fact that the colour matters now! The sky coloured one looks great! Can’t wait to stream Haunting of Bly Manor in Netflix using the new Google TV interface!

  15. Omg I love casting to chromecast so much but I’ve always thought it should have a remote and user interface! Google has done it with Google tv! I can’t wait to get one!!!

  18. I always been a fan of Google on TV from the first (complicated) Android TV devices and then all upgrades of the Chromecast family. Got my hand of all update, giving my older devices to friends. I love streaming form my phone app to Chromecast, but I always wished for a remote when I want to pause or rewind a program and my phone is locked. Arrgh! Now I’m learning that the new Chromecast HAS a remote! How cool is that! I really want to win that Google Chromecast with Google TV!

  19. I have a Google home and a couple minis but no Chromecast. I would love to add it toy Google network. I stream some classic cartoons with kids on a Saturday morning. Very excited

  20. I have a Google home and a couple minis but no Chromecast. I would love to add it toy Google network. I stream some classic cartoons with kids on a Saturday morning.

  24. Love the voice control remote. Would stream Disney+ so could watch movies such as Frozen 2 with my grandkids!

  29. This screenreality is just getting better and better.
    Im new into this, just had my first chromecast. But the whole streamingabilitys is mad and i love it. Google is massive and i am curious what they have in mind.

  31. I have everything Google so wanting this is a no-brainer. Netflix streaming is my go-to but I’d probably subscribe to other services if they offer shows I like.

  32. I’ve purchased the Google Chromecast 1st generation couple of years ago (for only 35 bucks, that’s insanely cheap for this kind of tech tool), and it’s still plugged in to my TV and used pretty much every day since then.

    Best invention since electricity.

  34. Thank you so much once again Martin & Best Buy for this wonderful chance 🙂

    For me personally, this would be an awesome addition to my entertainment….the ability to be able to “cast” my movies and such directly to my TV, and also simply watch directly from the Chromecast as well. That would save the hassle (and cables) 🙂

    Great little unit for sure….not to mention would make a great gift to friends or family <3

    Thanks so much…and good luck to all!

  35. Will replace amazon fire 4k, definitely streaming Netflix and Prime. Will nicely integrate all other google home devices

  37. I love the functionality is gives me and how it doesn’t matter what tv you have, it works with my old 2012 TVs. I would stream all my fav shoes and the 2021 NHL season

  38. Hey Google. I can’t buy a Google tv in the Netherlands . Help! And I can’t wait . Please help me to make my tv smart. Especially the remote I love .

  40. I love how you can cast content easily and I can’t wait to stream The Mandalorian season 2 on Disney+ if I win one!

  41. Besides the ability to turn any TV into a smart TV, I love that the new Chromecast finally comes with a remote.
    This would make pausing my binge watching stream of “The Mandalorian” on Disney+ so much easier when I need to grab more snacks eh? This is the way!

  42. Great streaming device, everything in one place . I’ll be watching the new series of Line of duty once it’s out !
