What are the real advantages of a Google TV Streamer?
Hi all!
So I'm still rocking my Chromecast 2nd Gen in the year of our Lord 2026, but I've had my eye on the Google TV Streamer for a while now. However, I haven't been able to justify spending the money on it as the Chromecast still does its job really well most of the time. Sure, there's times when it takes a while to connect and here or there, there's a streaming service that gets a little buggy, but nothing that's created enough friction or frustration to make me go "Enough is enough!".
So after looking at multiple reviews and browsing Reddit for a while, I figured I'd just ask the community here: what are some real life advantages of the Streamer? Is it really a big quality of life improvement over the old trusty Chromecast or am I just blinded by the shiny new thing?
Notes: both me and my partner are locked in the Apple ecosystem for the most part. Price point of the Streamer isn't really an issue.
