Chromecast Google Tv Universal Remote

I use this in combination of the iOS phone and Google Home app. I have a PLEX server set up to cast movies. I also am able to cast Showtime via Google Home to watch Homeland on Chromecast Ultra. It is faster to process the movie and no lag or synchronization problems because of the ethernet cable. Recommended if you have Plex or just use Google Chrome to watch shows a lot. If you have a TV that is CEC compatible and enabled, you can launch Google Home from the iPhone and it will automatically start both Chromecast Ultra and your TV with just the app.

Using this to have a newer 4K Chromecast with Google TV and a DVD player so I can run just one HDMI cable to my ceiling-mounted projector. Works great! Switches automatically, and I like that I don't have to plug it into power or fuss with anything.

mounted this to the back of my TV to connect both TV and chromecast.

Chromecast devices are simply awesome.� If you are a streaming household, it is so much faster to look things up on your mobile device and press the cast button in the app and put it on the screen.� I can't tell you how many times I tell my wife, "Hey, check out this YouTube video." and then throw it up on the screen in a few seconds.� All the naysayers that thing looking up content on your phone is stupid and can't believe the phone is your remote control just flat out don't get it.� I have Android TV and a Roku television.� I like set top boxes.� But it is MUCH faster to get content on my tv using a mobile device and casting then using a remote control with a set top box.� Also, the voice integration to start up a movie on say Netflix or a song on Google Play Music with my voice via my Google Home is just awesome.� I have the Ultra hooked up to my Roku 4K TV even because we rent or buy Google Play Movies and you can watch them in 4K with the Chromecast Ultra but not with Roku.

Purchased the D1 to improve the sound of Google Chromecast audio "puck" - connected them together with a Google short fiber cable. Well worth the price of the D1 because Spotify now sounds musical.

I purchased the Chromecast Ultra as a companion to my Google Home. The Chromecast is attached to my AV receiver which allows me to cast audio and video commands via voice command to my AV system. The device works exactly as promised so I am quite please with it. Only difficulty was in figuring out how to send the commands from the Google Home to it. That was resolved via a very quick support call with Google (Hey Google, play song title on Spotify on Chromecast).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lost a remote to my tv so tried the universal remote and it worked great on my tv. I don't have anything Elsa at this time to connect to the remote but if I did I would. It was easy to use and follow directions too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best universal remote I have used so far. I like the simpleset features. I don’t have to flip through the booklet searching for my devices’ code. Being able to hook up to 8 devices is great. I was able to connect to my roku steaming box, Apple TV box and TV. There were some features it can’t replicate on the original remote, but for the basic functions, this would do.

So first and foremost the picture quality is amazing! Love the Netflix calibration and IMAX calibration. Love the Sony core also. This tv was very easy to setup. I went with a cable matters ethernet to usb to plug into the high speed usb port. So instead of being capped at 100 mbps I get well over 900. Going from Android tv to Google tv was kind of a change. Still up in the air about Google tv? I noticed I cannot download the Plex app with the play store with Google tv? Why? I really hope this changes! Right out of the box this tv is phenomonal. I made just one tiny settings chane thats it. Great colors and great black level. I have seen no blooming. Best picture I have ever had on a tv! The only thing I can say that I dont care for is the remote control. Its small which is ok but very hard to use in a dark room. I would really love a backlit remote! And if you are in apps only mode for a home screen you lose the voice remote? Again why? Needs to be updated this is really dumb! Overall this tv rocks! And the upscaling is fantastic!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always wanted something like this but didn't want to have to deal with cords and the setup/configuration. I was really excited to give Sony version a shot even though I don't have a Sony TV. My TV is a Vizio and was still very easy to set up and now use. My configuration is a Vizio TV with a Google TV Chromecast. The Google TV remote now powers both the TV and is able to simply turn on the soundbar (this was important so as make it as easy as possible for my wife and daughter to use). I've also got the wireless subwoofer tucked away off to the side so it's also out of the way. The sound is great and I really like the night mode on the Sony remote that helps for late-night watching when everyone else is asleep. We've still not found the perfect bass setting, but I would expect to make adjustments based on the movies we are watching.
