Uggggggghhhhhh another one for the pile. I love Chromecasts but to be fair the latest one with Google TV was a sign that things were getting shitty soon. 22% more CPU for a YouTube machine? Who cares? A home hub that needs my TV to work? Who cares? It's like the tech industry regrets putting everything on your phone and now they want to separate it out again. Fuck off.

Idk about you but I have a newish chromecast with google tv and it's laggy af. So it'll be good to have something with better specs.

The one with Google tv is an excellent ship for sailing the Black Sea. Get yourself a vpn, streamio, and realdebrid, and you're set. Not that I would know

Why else would they cancel it? It's obvious. They know people jailbreak it like putting food in the microwave.
