That's what Google calls "Google TV" now, a product which still exists. During the transition they called the dongles "Chromecast with Google TV". Now the "Chromecast" part of it is discontinued and its all "Google TV".
- lxgr 2y agoIt still seems to be called that: https://store.google.com/us/product/chromecast_google_tv https://store.google.com/us/product/chromecast_google_tv So that's not going away? I really can't tell from TFA. The entire thing seems like a hot mess – the link I was hoping would explain why I'd want AI in my Chromecast successor is dead/404 as well in the "Google TV streamer" announcement (https://blog.google/products/google-nest/google-tv-streamer/ https://blog.google/products/google-nest/google-tv-streamer/).
- rickdeckard 2y ago> It still seems to be called that: https://store.google.com/us/product/chromecast_google_tv https://store.google.com/us/product/chromecast_google_tv From what I understand, this is the product they mean with "we're ending production of Chromecast, which will now only be available while supplies last." They kept using the "Chromecast" brand just for dongles, and are now discontinuing all dongles in favor of a single new product. My guess is that they reached a point where it's more economic to merge the GoogleTV reference design (ADT-3, ADT-4) with their Dongle-line and create a single box which serves both purposes...
