TV Streamer (4K) - Fast Streaming Entertainment With Voice Search Remote - Watch Movies, Shows, Live TV and Netflix in 4K HDR - Smart Home Control - 32 GB Storage - Porcelain

I decided to upgrade our venerable Roku Stick to something a bit more modern with more functionality and that gives us a better picture on our Hisense 4k tv. This device fits the bill perfectly and was so easy to physically install. However, the operating instructions are rather sparse and it took me a while work out how to install and delete Apps. The voice control was a great help in that regard. I removed a lot of the pre installed apps but added Now TV and Plex. They work a treat and give a quality stable picture. The remote control automatically takes over some of the basic TV functionality and has the added advantage of Voice control. That said, I have had some difficulty reliably using the Home App (Chromecast) casting feature from my new Google Pixel 11 Pro mobile (Android 17) but all is fine from my (Android 14) Honor tablet. So, I rather suspect an issue with the Home app on Android 17 rather than this device. Google have certainly had a good poke about with this functionality in this latest version of Android. In summary, this is not the cheapest of this type of device but it boasts good build quality, proper support and a host of features that I am still discovering. Beware of the plethora of alternative cheap "Chromecast" devices available on Amazon and the auction site. Some even falsely claim to be Google devices! Many use the Miracast App for casting - which requires a monthly subscription - unless you want to be inundated with intrusive ads. So, IMHO, if you can afford it, this is the device to go for. Alternatively, newer Roku (4k) boxes are good value.

Easy to set up and good price if discounted. Good remote control and app from google to control with phone. Good compact design and any apps available with full play store for android tv. You can watch all the streaming services and live TV through main TV apps like I Player ITV etc. Would be unbeatable if TV providers like Virgin Sky had option to use this instead of their streaming devices. This would be quicker and easier to use. Freely is missing as well from the App Store. I have a main TV with Freely and my aerial is broken. I’ll use options like this because I’m not replacing that in 2026. Only downside is there’s no HDMI supplied so make sure you have one spare before you buy. The remote has batteries so a plus there. With google updates this should last years and the software is very good and feels clean compared to smart TV.

For years, my living room was held hostage by a succession of Amazon Firesticks. Attempting to navigate a menu on a Firestick in recent times was not a calm media-browsing experience; it was like being forced to ride shotgun with a manic Peugeot 307 driver who has forgotten where the brake pedal is, lost his spectacles, and decided to reverse down the M6 at eighty miles an hour while aggressively shouting at a turnip. You would press a single directional button on the remote to choose a film, and the entire operating system would suffer an immediate, catastrophic stroke. It would freeze, spasm, reload four sponsored adverts for lawnmowers you never wanted, and then crash headlong into an invisible ditch. Attempting to switch from one streaming app to another was a grueling test of patience and resolve akin to building an exact, life-sized replica of York Minster out of dry couscous while wearing boxing gloves. It was utter, unadulterated madness. ​So, in December 2025, after yet another Firestick spontaneously melted its own brain in a puff of software lag, I bought this Google TV Streamer 4K for £99. Nearly nine months have passed since that glorious day, and I am utterly delighted to report that my television setup has transformed from a chaotic psychiatric ward into an oasis of civilised perfection. I have suffered literally zero issues. ​If the 2025 Firestick 4K is a battered, dented hatchback being driven over a roundabout the wrong way by an unhinged lunatic, this Google box is a whisper-quiet Rolls-Royce gliding smoothly over velvet. The comparison between the two is laughably, absurdly one-sided. Where the Firestick constantly bombards your retinas with a chaotic, sluggish labyrinth of promoted clutter while its underpowered processor gasps for air, the Google TV Streamer responds to your inputs with instantaneous, military precision. It packs a proper 32 gigabytes of internal storage, meaning it doesn't run out of memory and panic like a cornered rodent the second you dare to install more than three applications. ​And the sheer, unbridled technical muscle hiding inside this sleek porcelain wedge is frankly heroic. I regularly use my Google TV Streamer to beam full 4K PC games over Moonlight straight to my massive home projector, controlling the frantic, high-speed action via Bluetooth using a Steam Controller. On paper, demanding this level of low-latency performance from a streaming puck should cause it to burst into flames, emit a sad puff of blue smoke, and melt through the floorboards. Yet it handles the entire ordeal with the nonchalant ease of an aristocratic gentleman buttering a scone. The visual quality delivered through Dolby Vision is mind-bogglingly crisp, and the Dolby audio output is rich, deep, and deeply satisfying. ​Now, I am well aware that a few furious internet pedants have whipped themselves into a feverish rage because Google built this unit with Wi-Fi 5 rather than Wi-Fi 6. To those spec-sheet fetishists, I say: you are talking absolute rot. Despite lacking the very latest wireless acronym, I am streaming uncompressed 4K gameplay and massive, bandwidth-choking movies across my house without a single dropped frame, stutter, or hiccup. It performs flawlessly, day in and day out. It is genuinely one of the single best technology purchases I have made in years. It has completely restored my sanity, banished the maniac Firestick to the dustbin of history, and made turning on the television a pure joy again. Buy one immediately.

When my Roku box broke a neighbour convinced me to try fire stick but I really didn't get on with the interface. I found it too busy and the connection was poor due to my Wi-Fi being busy with other devices. So I changed to a Google Streamer. It was easy to set up and you can have an app only mode without the pushing content - perfect for the family. Because it has the Ethernet cable it's a super fast connection. My only criticism is I had problems with the remote control not working for the volume so I unpaired it and it refused to pair back and the whole device froze so I had to do a factory reset meaning I had to download and enter my password into all the apps again. With previous devices where the pairing has not worked I could use an alternative but because I was using ethernet not Wi-Fi I could not use the Google app to control the device. Apart from this everything was easy to do. A quick update to say I've had problems with the sound and picture not synchronizing and apparently this is a common issue with Google streamer so just a word of caution because this did not happen with the fire stick.

I picked this up during the prime sale for around £70, and at that price, it offers excellent value. As an officially supported Google TV device, it provides seamless access to the entire Google Play app ecosystem and features full support for services like BBC iPlayer. With 4GB of RAM, it feels snappy and well-equipped for the future. Let's get through the cons first because there are not many of them: • Connectivity: There is only one USB-C port, which is dedicated solely to power. An extra port either USB-A or USB-C. for external media would have been perfect. • The Remote: It is a bit small and dainty. It is very easy to lose. It is not really ergonomically comfortable at all. And if you do lose it, I will write more about it in the positives, you do have an option to find it. I do wish it was a slightly larger. • Pricing: At the standard £99, it feels a bit steep, though it is an absolute bargain if you can catch it on sale for £70. Now on to the positives: • Performance: 4GB of RAM for a smooth interface and 32GB of storage, which is a significant upgrade over standard streaming sticks. I do not have any sort of lag at all. It is quite snappy to use. It plays everything I have thrown at it, and it has a wide variety of apps. As I said, it is officially supported by BBC iPlayer, so you have that. There aren't many Android TV streamers around that have 4GB of RAM. The majority of them have 2 or less. But 4GB is very nice. • Versatility: Supports 4K HDR, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Dolby Atmos for a premium audio-visual experience. • Connectivity: Includes an Ethernet port, providing a rare and stable high-bitrate connection. This is pretty rare in Google TV devices. It's good that it has an Ethernet port and obviously has Wi-Fi as well as standard. • Design: Features a physical button on the back of the device to help locate a misplaced remote. • Flexibility: There is a lot to customise on the Google TV platform. There are different apps to download and a lot of different settings to make it more suitable for your needs. • The device includes built-in Thread support, which is incredibly useful for managing multiple smart home devices directly through the Google TV interface. You can also control your smart home appliances using the voice-enabled remote, simply hold the mic button to issue commands like 'turn off the lights' or to pause your content. It’s a brilliant, streamlined experience. Pro Tip: Customise Your Launcher If you find the default interface too cluttered with ads, I highly recommend using a third-party launcher like 'Monet Launcher'. For a small one-time fee (around £5), it allows you to strip away the unwanted promotional content and customise the home screen to show only the apps you actually use. It makes the whole experience feel much cleaner and faster. You can get this on the Google Play Store and it is very easy to customise. You can make it as simple or as complicated as you want. It is brilliant, very fast and snappy. It will get you right into your apps straight away. Overall, this is a top-tier streaming option that handles everything I've thrown at it with ease.

Works very well for Jellyfin, Stremio, and Nuvio. Plays 4K HDR content smoothly and has proper AV1 support. Significant upgrade over the Chromecast 4K this replaced. Remote works well and integrates with the TV itself via HDMI-CEC. Works great with my LG. It’s a little pricey but this is the type of device you’ll get five years of use out of so it’s not bad value. It’s also much cheaper than a brand new Apple TV. I’ve included a photo where you can see it side by side with my Apple TV, you can see the Google Streamer is much more discreet and imo blends in better with the cabinet. It does have a load of ads on the home screen but you can install a third party launcher so you never see them. If you’re more tech savvy you can also block the ads from loading at the DNS level, but you need to create a NAT rule to force it to use your Pi Hole since it’ll use its own Google DNS to get around blocks otherwise. This is easy to do with a UniFi router but probably not possible if you just have a standard ISP router. If you’re not nerdy enough to understand any of that, just install Projectivy from the Play Store and use the home button accessibility workaround. Overall happy with my purchase.

Bought as a replacement for a streaming device for my older fire TV cube, we are an android house hold and already have Google hub max and multiple speakers in the house. These integrate well. The unit seems a lot faster and slicker through the menus than the fire tv cube and has all the streaming apps we need

I bought this Google TV device to watch Italian TV while living in the UK. COMPLETE DISASTER. ❌ Geoblocks everywhere: even with VPN active, Google detects it and still blocks everything — useless ❌ Cannot customise: locked launcher, sideloading apps is a nightmare, ads everywhere you CANNOT remove ❌ Updates break everything automatically: resets settings, disables features, no way to stop them ❌ Zero support: impossible to reach anyone when things go wrong Total waste of money. My old Fire Stick worked perfectly — huge mistake switching. Do NOT buy if you live outside Italy, it’s a trap. Absolute garbage.

Ha soddisfatto le aspettative

I am.very happy with the purchase. The device is a no nonsense approach. Minimalistic design and very practical. User interface is nice and simple, content loads up faster. Unboxing time and setup time was almost same. I bought this because I wanted a device which is independent of TV and can connect to my AV receiver else could have bought Amazon Firestick also. If one looks at the initial cost and compares , it may look bit pricey but given that it is from Google and offers a wider platform for choice of apps and better hardware, I feel the additional amount will not hurt. The remote is designed very esthetically and pratically.

Impossible de le connecter via wifi, y compris avec ethernet après de multiples tentatives ns avons abandonné…

Super AMAZON : réception du matériel aux normes anglo-US ! Merci pour la perte de temps... Retour immédiat.

Great product, very fast and smooth experience, loved the Smart box
