I looked at the site, but I have no idea what it is or what it costs. Total marketing failure.

- cjohnson318 6y agoI got a little woozy with all of the unexpected zoom-outs. Really no idea what was going on until the end.
- gertrunde 6y agoWell done on getting that far, I gave up the fight against the interface well before the end!
- smoyer 6y agoI had the same reaction and was hoping the conversation here would answer those questions ... so far I'm out-of-luck!
- vidanay 6y agoIt costs three years of your life and commitment until they shelve it with 90 days notice.
- botto 6y agoI would not spend a dime on this, to be honest I'm impressed Stadia isn't shelved yet, but just give it time.
- roneythomas6 6y agoMy first and third gen chromecast still works. Google TV is just 4th gen chromecast. I expect this to work several years.
- Brendinooo 6y agoSimilar reaction here. https://store.google.com/us/product/chromecast_google_tv_compare https://store.google.com/us/product/chromecast_google_tv_com... That page is a bit better at explaining things.
- Florin_Andrei 6y agoSo... the new dongle is powered by a chip that has some Bluetooth component. Does that mean I can finally connect to it from my phone via Bluetooth and play music that way? The lack of that feature is my biggest gripe with the current dongle. The Cast protocol is a pain in the butt in terms of apps that support it.
- xnyan 6y ago>Does that mean I can finally connect to it from my phone via Bluetooth and play music that way? I don't know about this device, but what you are describing is the antitheses of how chomecast is intended to work (or at least it was, from the beginning of chromecast to the last time I checked). The idea is that you never stream anything from your phone, but rather your phone is a remote control and service authentication device for the chromecast.
- crysin 6y agoI get the impression its a new OS for smart tvs.
- jldugger 6y agoI'm guessing the target market here is TV manufacturers, the same way chromecast is built into tvs these days. They're more high touch and are going to get sales calls about it regardless, so the site just needs to convince them to accept the meeting invite.
