Google is working on a lower-end Chromecast with Google TV that would slot in below its current model in price — and also video resolution. According to Protocol’s Janko Roettgers, the upcoming, cheaper Chromecast will run the same Google TV software as the existing hardware and will still include a remote control. But it will be limited to a maximum of 1080p video quality. Playing to that limitation, Protocol believes Google might market the device as “Chromecast HD with Google… Source link

Google has recently been selling a combo-package of the Stadia Controller and 2020 Chromecast as a limited-time promotion. But as spotted by 9to5Google, the company has now made the pair a permanent bundle that it’s calling the “play and watch” package. For $99.99, you get both the controller and streaming dongle. That’s a savings of $19 compared to buying both products separately. Google is also promoting the Chromecast ethernet adapter as a recommended accessory; if you want… Source link

Google has started selling a new bundle that gives you some premium entertainment to go along with the company’s Chromecast streaming gadget. For $64.99, you’ll get both the Chromecast with Google TV and three months of HBO Max. The device usually retails for $49.99, and HBO Max’s ad-free tier costs $14.99 per month, so you’re basically getting two months of the service for free. As usual with this sort of thing, the deal is only available for new subscribers of HBO Max; existing… Source link

Google helps simplify your online life—from email and online storage to news and digital maps. But it can also take over your TV with the Chromecast. Google currently sells two versions of its media-streaming device—the Chromecast Ultra and Chromecast With Google TV. The latter gave Google’s dongle a much-needed makeover, adding a remote and an on-screen menu. Many people, however, are probably still casting via legacy devices; the Chromecast has been around since 2013. Its… Source link

The Chromecast with Google TV even comes in colors: white, blue, or pink. Google Images Until a few weeks ago, the Apple TV 4K had not seen an update since the device was introduced in September 2017. The software it runs, tvOS, obviously has been updated in the time since, but the additions have more iterative than transformative. It would not be unreasonable to conclude the operating system, as a whole, is not as loved by Apple as much as the company loves, say, macOS or… Source link

Google is rolling out a new April update for the Chromecast with Google TV that launched last year. It’s a fairly large update for a streaming device — totaling 166MB on my Chromecast — but includes numerous improvements. Once you’ve installed the new software and restarted your Chromecast, you’ll be able to dig a little deeper into video settings than was previously possible. In the new “advanced video controls” area of settings, you’re now given the ability to choose… Source link

(Image: PCMag) Google is working on a new, app-like interface for Chromecast. According to 9to5Google, several users are seeing the new interface when casting video from their phones. Typically, doing so loads information like a YouTube channel name, date, time, and other rudimentary details. The video plays, and when it’s complete, it’s back to a basic how-to screen to cast again. The new interface, which is similar to what Android TV already uses, includes several changes, like closed… Source link
