Google TV & Chromecast Features You Aren’t Using (but Should)

I just bought a TCL 50P635 and I love google tv because all the freedom that they give and the connection with your Google account. You helped me a lot

Thanks for reviewing streaming media software. Its such an integral part of television use yet it gets too little attention. I would love to see DT compare such software and possibly rate them. Its a big subject and confounds a lot of users, myself included.

Hey Caleb, thank you for this (as always) very informative video. Can you maybe make a video going a little more in depth with the basic mode (e.g. comparing the behavior/experience of it to other TV OS without an Internet connection)? I‘m exactly the kind of user you describe as the target group for this mode, but I can‘t find good information about how it improves the experience of a not connected TV and therefore if it is worth putting it on the pros site of my pros and cons list when looking for a new TV. I think such a video could be very helpful for a lot of people. Thank you, again!

THANKS BRO. I JUST BOUGHT A GOOGLE TV AND I'VE LEARNED A LOT FROM YOUR TUTORIAL. GOD BLESS MY BRO 🙏🏿

As usual, very on-point and practical tips! I just went through this ordeal on Hisense U8H (thanks for the recommendation) and kinda had to marvel at some of the granularities (compared to Apple TV). But what annoys me most is the weird ways it manages privacy choices - or rather, all the questionable defaults. (I know my TV doesn't have camera. But why would Live TV require camera permission?) One related question: Even with all this granularity, I don't see an equivalent to "director's cut"/match content (dynamic range and frame rate) setting. Does it exist?

Thank you so much for this video! I am a newbie to cutting the cable cord and have been more than a little overwhelmed by so many options. Your video has helped, but I do have a question that you kind of skipped over in your video. I have chosen to use the Apps Only version, and I would like to try to add a couple more options. You mention to add these through the Play Store, but I can't find how to do that. I tried to enter Play Store in Browser search area, but that did not work for me. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Super helpful thank you!

Thank you,very instructive,and setting it up both as Google tv and monitor for my PC. Thank you very much

I'm really interested in the Hisense TVs this year. Aside from the picture, I was excited to learn about basic mode since I don't need a smart TV. The 2023 models are supposed to have Matter compatibility so this may be the year I finally upgrade. Unfortunately, I suspect that the matter compatibility is provided by Google TV so I might not be able to use basic mode. Any thoughts?

Great video! I do wish that you would have talked about the tv tuner and how to get the most out of it.

Great guide, thanks!

Many thanks for this video.. very informative...

Love the classy background lounge music

This is a fantastic video!!! So many features I didn't know about. I'm sad my Sony x900h won't get Google TV 😭 guess I'm stuck with Android TV. Can you do a version for the older software?

Very informative video, thank you!

Thank you so much that was a very helpful vedeo

Hey Caleb, the blurring out of your email address is inconsistent and fully visible in some parts of the video, which I assume it was not meant to be? In other parts it is kinda semi-visible, as it isn't all that difficult to just extrapolate/guess from the characters that are kinda visible…

Thanks dear for ur valuable guide ... thanks a lots..

Thank you, this was most helpful indeed!

Thank you very much, its fantastic all your advise on youtube channel 👍
