9to5Google can now report that what replaces the Chromecast with Google TV 4K is the “Google TV Streamer.”

    Just today spent way over an hour setting up a Chromecast with Google TV at father in laws today. Factory reset that thing four times. Used every wifi connection I could find and finally got it working by hot-spotting my own phone and setting it up.

    Not buying more Google. It’s just hot garbage at this point.

      I forget the term, but networks where it’s a single network for multiple people with different passwords to determine what peers you can see/access cause problems with Google home stuff. My current apartment has that, I tried to use that for my smart home stuff but ultimately had to put it back on my secondary wi-fi network on my router
