It’s the most wonderful time of the- well, I suppose that depends on who you ask. For many, Christmas is a season that brings about warm, fuzzy feelings, and even for those of us Floridians who don’t get snow and probably never will, it’s a time of heightened happiness. Hey, we get a little cold […]

GeForce NOW on the Chromecast with Google TV is still full of lag
Consider me quite frustrated this morning. It’s been months since I last tried GeForce NOW on the Chromecast with Google TV, and with the gameplay I’ve been experiencing latetly on my Chromebook, I expected it to be fantastic. Don’t get me wrong: the games look slick and the stream itself is really high quality. The […]
Continue ReadingChromecast with Google TV’s added audio cues for navigation and casting are an accessibility win
I’m not really sure when this became a thing, but what I do know is that it didn’t exist the last time I browsed Google TV in my living room. Upon turning the TV on this week, I noticed that new audio cues accompanied my button presses as I navigated the UI to look for […]
Continue ReadingA 4K Chromecast and a Stranger Things Funko Pop for $29? Yes, please
Nothing says “holiday season” like a Funko POP figurine from the wildly popular Netflix series Stranger Things. Am I right? Okay, maybe not. Still, this Walmart-exclusive Black Friday deal combines our favorite 4K Chromecast with Google TV and a very cool-looking Funko POP figure of Stranger Things’ lead character Eleven and her favorite food, Eggo […]
Continue ReadingYour Chromecast with Google TV should become much better at saving you space next year
I honestly don’t have to recount to you how laggy and slow the Chromecast with Google TV can be at times. It clearly doesn’t have enough RAM to perform the tasks it needs to, and don’t even get me started with the storage issue. Actually, as much as I don’t want to go there, I […]
Continue ReadingForget Black Friday, this Chromecast deal is too hot to pass up
Black Friday is right around the corner but we all are well aware that the deals started weeks ago as retailers look to get a jump on the holiday shopping season. While many of us are looking to score that huge deal on a new Chromebook, let’s not forget those little stocking stuffers and party […]
Continue ReadingChromecasts without Google TV won’t support Netflix’s new ad-supported tier
In case you haven’t been keeping up with all the streaming news, Netflix just recently released a new, cheaper plan that is supported by ads as one of its last-ditch efforts to stop hemorrhaging money and appease shareholders. This “Basic with ads” plan, which costs $6.99 per month, is a recent trend that major streaming […]
Continue ReadingThere’s never been a better time to buy a Chromecast with Google TV
I will be the first to admit that Google’s latest Chromecast with Google TV had me completely bewildered when it was announced just over a month ago. The HD Chromecast came bearing a $29.99 price tag which wasn’t that much less than the sale prices frequently found on the 4K version of the Google TV […]
Continue ReadingAndroid 12 is coming for your 4K Chromecast w/Google TV
It has been two years since Google debuted the 4K Chromecast w/Google TV. Since that time, the tiny remote-controlled media stick has had its share of updates but the flagship streamer’s core operating system has remained on Android TV 10. At one point in time, it appears that because of the limited storage space of […]
Continue ReadingThe Chrome Cast 193: Pixel 7 pricing, Chromecast HD, and a Framework Chromebook
This week on The Chrome Cast, we spent the show talking about some new leaks that came from a Target store regarding Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro pricing. With a simple photo of the internal inventory system, we now know that the new phones from Google will not bump the prices up from last […]
Continue ReadingYour Chromecast with Google TV will soon be updated to Android 12, but don’t expect much
Google’s Chromecast with Google TV did a wonderful job at stealing market share and owning a high adoption rate among original Chromecast users as well as those with competing devices. Perhaps because of this dominance, the company has been lazy with its updates. User profiles didn’t ship with it and were only recently added – […]
Continue ReadingGoogle’s Chromecast with Google TV HD is officially available today
In a bit of an odd move, Google has formally announced the new Chromecast with Google TV HD and made it widely available today. Coming in at $29.99, this new Chromecast is more affordable than the existing Chromecast with Google TV and does a few things differently than its predecessor. Overall, the storyline for this […]
Continue ReadingThe upcoming Chromecast HD comes with an odd upgrade over its ‘premium’ sibling
Thanks to @Za_Raczke over on Twitter, we have a pretty firm idea now of what we should expect in the rather-odd Chromecast HD that we expect to see pretty soon. While we’re not certain Google will include this device in the keynote for the upcoming October 6th hardware event, I’d wager we’ll see it in […]
Continue ReadingLeak all but confirms a new HD Chromecast is on the way
So, it’s official. Google will be hosting the company’s annual hardware event in Brooklyn next month and yes, we’re actually going to be there live and in person. (Exciting, right?) Anyway, we’ll be heading to New York to hopefully get our hands on the upcoming Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, and the highly-anticipated Pixel Watch. […]
Continue ReadingChromecast celebrates 9 years with Nest Cam and Doorbell streaming support for Google TV
While Google Play was busy celebrating its 10th anniversary, another Google all star crept up on a huge milestone. Chromecast is now 9 years old (I know, I know, the company couldn’t wait just one more year to round out to an even number?), and with it, a new Keyword Blog post celebrates all of […]
