Really, rebranding from Chromecast to Google TV Streamer? Who the fuck was the genius that greenlighted this?

Yep. Someone thinks the Google name has some crazy value.

they make 6.1 million dollars per day for their executive savvy

I guess onn is going to completely take over the low price streaming box market then.

A new entry to killedbygoogle.com?

MeatsOfRage ,

Eh, not really. This product had a full run, will continue to work and the features are all still available in their newer products. Killed by Google usually implies they have a service that just ceases to exist.

Damm I’ve used these to stream my security cameras to portable monitors around the house. I hope they keep working

Anyone looking for a streaming box look into the Walmart Onn 4k Pro, came out earlier this year and it works great. The remote has an annoying button on it, but that’s my only complaint.

Be nice to have something to replace my Nvidia shield pro with that’s not an apple tv. Looking forward to seeing how the new streaming device compares

iLove ,

Is Nvidia Shield Pro not good?

Family practically thought I was David Blaine when I got a first gen Chromecast back in the day.

Evotech ,

It was magic. Still is tbh.

Let’s hope this doesn’t only support FAT32 so we can actually add movies to it

Ghoelian ,

So what’s the best android tv box nowadays? Still the Shield TV?

I have the latest chromecast with android tv (i think, who knows with these garbage model names), and it’s always been quite sluggish to use, and I can’t replace the home screen on it to one without ads since they locked down the bootloader.

So I’m looking for one that’s a bit snappier, and preferably with an unlockable bootloader, or at least the ability to replace the default launcher.

Get a pi, people. There are very few reasons you would want Chromecast.

Luvs2Spuj ,

Size and portability.? Ease of use?

Very few reasons for people with technical ability, which the Fediverse overrepresents. It's easy to get the idea that anyone can pick up something like a Pi and install and configure an OS image on it. It seems simple to us, but 95% of people will not/cannot do this. They have better things to do than learn IT skills.

As long as they don’t completely nix the support à la Spotify Car Thing I’m fine with it

Damage ,

Eh as long as the protocol stays the same who cares? Everything has it built in nowadays, and even if it doesn’t, I bet China won’t stop making Chromecast dongles

AlligatorBlizzard ,

Is there anything interesting you can do with a Chromecast dongle by jailbreaking it, if you can get one for cheap?

Don't need to jailbreak, it already works with pirate sites with the right app
