Google just announced the Chromecast with Google TV for $99, but a little less known is a deal that allows you to tack on 6 months of Netflix ($95.94 worth of credit) for a grand total of $139.99, bringing the effective price of the Chromecast to $44.05.

Seems to be a long-running deal (through to December 31, 2021).

Tips:

  • If you're a Google One subscriber, you'll get 3% back in store credit if you're on a 200 GB plan, or 10% back in store credit if you're on a 2 TB or higher plan.
  • You can purchase three of these bundles per Google account.
  • The deal is available to both new and existing Netflix subscribers.
  • The 6 months of Netflix offer is based on a Standard plan ($15.99/month). Netflix works off a dollar-based credit model, so if you're on a Basic plan ($10.99/month), you'll actually get 8.73 months worth of credit, but if you're on a Premium plan ($19.99/month), you'll get 4.80 months worth of credit.
  • If you've redeemed the Netflix offer, but end up returning the Chromecast, Google will refund you $99; meaning you'll still have scored $95.94 worth of Netflix credit for $40.99.

Note: Previously out of stock, and now back in stock! If it goes out of stock again, keep refreshing the page as Google has progressively added stock on previous occasions.

      mine had that date but now just says delayed

    • jeworge on 18/11/2020 - 20:18

      My ETA is the same 18/19. It now says delayed.

      • mcargy08 on 19/11/2020 - 09:28

        yeah same

    • drongodave on 19/11/2020 - 10:38

      Mine had an ETA of 18/19th and is now also marked as delayed.
      Pretty frustrating given that we've had to wait so long already (mine was ordered on 9th Oct).
      I read somewhere that Google offered customers credit when Pixel phones were delayed at some point in the past. Hopefully they will do the same for us.

      • superforever on 19/11/2020 - 14:57

        (mine was ordered on 9th Oct).

        A bit strange I ordered on 20Oct and received on 17Nov.

        • DoesntEvenMatter on 19/11/2020 - 15:49

          Yours must be white

        • drongodave on 19/11/2020 - 17:06

          That is odd. I ordered the white (snow) version too.
          Looks like I'll have to follow up with Google.

              @superforever: I am waiting on a white with Netflix. I ordered start of November.
              Hasn't budged for estimated arrival of next week.

            • drongodave on 19/11/2020 - 17:59

              @superforever: it's very odd, as the non-netflix ver would have shipped immediately by the look of it

              • joshr1pp3r on 19/11/2020 - 21:49

                @G-rig: Because you only get the code after you set up the chromecast, the Netflix deal must be tied to the serial number of the unit which seems why the job Netflix can ship sooner

                • G-rig on 19/11/2020 - 22:03

                  @joshr1pp3r: Fair enough, hopefully still works by then and they don't stop people sending it back and pocketing the nf credit

          • kopisusu on 19/11/2020 - 23:25

            @drongodave: same here, white + Netflix with ETA 18/19th now marked delayed.

  • superforever on 17/11/2020 - 21:21

    Since new Google TV needs to use it own power adapter, can't use the TV USB port, how to turn it off? Don't want to have it on all the time.

    I can turn off my old Chromecast when I turn off my TV.

    • G-rig on 17/11/2020 - 21:49

      The remote has an on off button.
      Probably remains on standby, guess you'd want it to fit automation etc, just like the convenience of tv on standby.. otherwise turn everything off at the wall or look into smart plugs etc

      • Borg on 17/11/2020 - 21:55

        Well I suspect you know the answer i.e. turn it off at the socket.
        It has its plus side being on. Assuming one has other Google devices around, one can say "Hey Google, turn on TV" and it turns everything on (TV, Amp/Soundbar etc).

      • superforever on 17/11/2020 - 22:09

        The remote has an on off button.

        During setup that was configured for TV on/off.

        • Borg on 17/11/2020 - 22:21

          @superforever: Are you asking for the purpose of Power Consumption (wasted power)?

          • superforever on 17/11/2020 - 22:42

            @Borg: Yes also my old Chromecast was quite hot.

            • Borg on 17/11/2020 - 23:42
              +1

              @superforever: I just did a read of it over a period of only 5 mins i.e. not a long term read.

              When TV "OFF" (as in not casting) runs between 0.96w and 1.16w (let's say avg 1.1watt per hour) | 26.4 watts a day | 9.64kWh a year. I suspect less and avg would be below 1watt as will quieten down.

              When "ON" and playing seems to be around 1.7watts | 40.8 watts a day | 14.89kWh a year. Not a lot in it. Am surprised how little it uses considering it's running Wifi and Bluetooth.

              Heat = I have being watching Netfilx and then Kayo for last few hours and it's only luke warm. My Chromecast v2 did get very warm over time so the Chomecast TV is much cooler.

              • G-rig on 18/11/2020 - 05:20

                @Borg: Yeah don't think it would be enough money to worry about the power consumption given the intent is the functionality if you do have other Google home devices/phone and use voice commands.

                Its good turning the gtv on and the tv and sound bar come on too, and only really need that remote. You may want to look into those master slave powerboards that turns all other stuff off when not in use (if you can still get them), as smart plug would be on standby anyway (but was thinking of trying one in conjunction).

                Most people would get solar off they want to save power but not always possible

              • superforever on 18/11/2020 - 18:03

                @Borg: I am just worry the Google TV getting too hot like Chromecast and may die one day.

                Seem like it did gone into sleep mode when the TV was off, today when I turned on my TV it said no signal until I press the Google TV remote to wake it up.

                BTW, I only have a FHD Samsung TV with HDMI ARC and a Panasonic Home Theatre system, so I don't think I can get surround sound, right?

                • G-rig on 18/11/2020 - 22:01

                  @superforever: Not sure yet about power stuff or how hot it gets , have it plugged into The soundbar input. Any of the remotes work to wake off standby, wouldn't know if it's worth putting any of them Or all on a smart powerboard

                  • G-rig on 19/11/2020 - 07:46

                    @G-rig: Apparently a tv on standby only uses ~$5 a year of power. Worth it to not have to turn on at the wall all the time i reckon

                • G-rig on 19/11/2020 - 21:52

                  @superforever: btw a chromecast would be designed to be able to be left powered all the time

  • G-rig on 21/11/2020 - 06:54

    Just wondering if there is any kind of onscreen display showing what audio is being decoded/used when watching something? Not sure of the quality coming out of the soundbar and content (Samsung Q70T True Dolby ATMOS & DTS:X). Wouldn't mind the rear wireless surround speakers, not too expensive but not too fussed.

    Cheers

    Just says delayed, no indication when it will be sent. Would have thought it would be a pretty safe bet for an Xmas present. Google usually stick to their shipping dates from past experience. Not so sure with this one.

  • Postal Dude on 23/11/2020 - 15:14

    Worth asking support about the delay or just waste of time?

    • G-rig on 23/11/2020 - 15:24

      Let us know what they say :P

      I asked Google nest Mini and it just Said something about supply shortages, or Can Google it (ironic I know)

    • Sammy2000 on 23/11/2020 - 15:36

      I asked why it was a delay (as the shipping time was so far in the future) and got nowhere.
      As it has been delayed you might get a different answer.

      • G-rig on 23/11/2020 - 15:47

        Just buy One anywhere and return the device when it finally turns up like I did..and keep the Netflix credit

  • G-rig on 24/11/2020 - 06:37

    Received a $10 Google Store offer for accessories and devices that pair with Chromecast
    Perhaps because it's taking so long? Guess they know I've connected one.
    Is the ethernet adaptor worth it? Got the device sitting right next to the router.

    Don't have a 4k telly or anything but may as well for $20, good for the future and nothing else to use the voucher for.
    Edit: Done, looks like it comes as an AC adapter so you would free up a usb C adapter out of it too.

    • Enjoyer on 24/11/2020 - 22:50

      I don't think you will free up any usb C.
      Chromecast has only one usb C and you use it for either power alone or ethernet + power with the adaptor you bought.

      • G-rig on 24/11/2020 - 22:52

        Ah, sorry i mean the Ac adapter, not the actual cable (seems to be worth a bit or 10$ anyway at least)

        • Enjoyer on 25/11/2020 - 12:56

    Is there any way to output surround to optical TOSLINK?

    • Borg on 24/11/2020 - 10:20

      No. The unit itself is a HDMI dongle and has no Inputs/Outputs other than for power. If your TV has TOSLINK one could go from there to e.g. AMP.

      • superforever on 24/11/2020 - 10:34

        HDMI dongle and has no Inputs/Outputs other than for power.

        Yeah I understand, just thinking any other way to extract surround from HDMI to TOSLINK.

        If your TV has TOSLINK one could go from there to e.g. AMP.

        Doing that now but no surround, I think may be my TV.

        • Borg on 24/11/2020 - 15:23

          Plug the Chromecast TV into your Surround Sound system if in fact both have HDMI in and the Out to TV?

      • G-rig on 28/11/2020 - 08:27

        I got a soundbar that has a HDMI input for that reason, and treat the Chromecast as the source and the tv as a display. Could do the same with an av receiver of it has the inputs. Just means always need it on.

        Still no idea what audio format is actually being decoded/played.

    I've also received my offer of 6 months Netflix as well. It is tied to my gmail account that you logged into Chromecast. However I haven't redeemed it. As I don't have active netflix account, I wonder if I can setup Netflix on another country to get "more value" out of my credit?

    Going to Netflix Premium, actually see if Dolby Atmos / DTS:X actually work on this samsung soundbar.
    With an older TV I don't have a 4k but I don't think the tv should really affect the sound if using external soundbar etc? it's the last link in my HDMI ARC chain.

    The rear satellite speakers dont seem to be doing anything now, have been stuffing around trying to pair again etc. just hard to know what sound is being actually decoded etc.

    EDIT: Seemed to be a lose wire. Atmos displays on the soundbar when eneabled so that's working at least. I don't read into it too much with these cheap audio products, the overall speaker quality would make more difference but it's a simple setup compared to the AV home theatre days.

  • G-rig on 30/11/2020 - 07:46

    Does anyone know why Netflix movies etc would change from Dolby Atmos to 5.1 halfway through a movie?

    Setup is Chromecast Google TV -> Soundbar (HDMI) -> TV (HDMI ARC)
    The tv is an older sony so no Atmos or 4K, perhaps the ARC is checking the audio decoding format?

    Bit odd, but wont be paying for Ultra HD if it doesn't work properly.

    So still no VPN tricks to add to overseas Netflix account? Haven't opened the package could still send the whole thing back, but may as well try and palm Off the credit to a relative/friend which was the original idea.

    For newer TV's its a bit if a double up, but turns older ones into a snappy experience. will still use as it's got Atmos, and the remote is nice. This New TV isn't in the list though, for some Of The Remote settings (Eko)

              @blueskywalker: I wasn't charged anything. If your account is linked to Google Australia and not an overseas account then you should have been paying in AU$. Are you sure your Google Account is local and if so call Google Support as there are not Bank fees.

                @Borg: Yes it is linked to Google Australia but item charged by Google GB.

          On the checkout page it says "Your bank may charge a cross border or currency exchange fee". I paid by paypal and didn't get charged a fee.

          contacted my bank who also charged me and they reversed the fee

    Looks like the kids have already broken our remote (water damage). 🤬

    Can buy a new one for $29.99 apparently…

      I never use the included remote and just use my TVs remote. Having said that I don't use the Voice Assist part which obviously my TV remote would not include. Dry it out and call Google for a warrany replacement!
