    Does this mean you could order 2 and get ~$30 or is it just a off credit

    So what can this do that my LG C9 can't?

    Can you install Kodi on this device?

    • consume on 03/10/2020 - 17:50

      Pretty sure you can sideload any app but I don’t think the ram is that great

      • [Deactivated] on 03/10/2020 - 18:08

        I don't think you can. The USB port is to provide power to the device. How do you sideload apps?

        • deanylev on 03/10/2020 - 18:10

          ADB over TCP. At the very worst you could download a file manager and browser from the Play Store and download/install APKs that way, no need for an external device.

          • [Deactivated] on 03/10/2020 - 18:13

            @deanylev: Never did that before, but yes, that'll work

          • peterpaoliello on 04/10/2020 - 20:28

            @deanylev: I have an Epson Google TV and it has regular Play Store so no problem with Kodi. I even got YouTube Vanced sideloaded via an app called "Phone 2 TV" or something like that, the interface for remote only screen isn't great with Vanced but the concept of sideloading an APK works. Assuming Google TV is the same on every device.

        • camshandez on 03/10/2020 - 18:11

          There's articles going around of people side loading. I haven't read how just know people have been putting stadia on it and other apps

        • Xizor on 03/10/2020 - 18:15

          Once it's connected to the internet and your LAN you've got plenty of ways to sideload apps.

          You can download straight onto chromecast using Aptoide or download apk files via Downloader. No need to use USB stick.

          But I watched a YouTube review and the guy said he couldn’t install 3rd party apps as it appears to be locked by google….for now

        • Kuro on 03/10/2020 - 22:08

          You can use 'send files to tv' app on the Google TV. And use the same app on Android phone. Download all the apks from phone and send it to your Google TV.

      So what can this do that my LG C9 can't?

      Compare the features between the two…

      • onlinepred on 03/10/2020 - 18:48

        Yea I was looking and the only thing it has extra is more apps. Otherwise we get a losy of shows from all sources already and some great quality apps that are incredibly fast, from the looks of it even faster than the chrome cast.

        • boredofficeworker on 03/10/2020 - 21:28

          Google assistant baked in via the mic on the remote. Android TV apps, Dolby Vision support and already almost at the same price as the Chromecast Ultra. Pretty compelling all around.

          I have a C9 and use a Shield rather than WebOS as Android TV works far better for casting than the LG baked in version.

          • onlinepred on 03/10/2020 - 22:20

            @boredofficeworker: My TV has Dolby vision along with the apps, what android apps are useful? Also why use a remote instead of asking google home or your phone to do things? I don't see how its compelling if they are just gimmicks. I don't cast any more, just use the apps on the TV, they are fantastic and fast, faster than Google TV.

          • sageybadegey on 04/10/2020 - 12:21

            @boredofficeworker: When i compare apps like Netflix UI for example on my 65 LG B9, the colour pops (more saturated), but the netflix apps on my shield pro is looks low res and anemic/wash out. So i regretted buying the shield pro.

      • Could Be Better on 05/10/2020 - 13:35
        +1

        Don't really understand people's hate on LG UI, it's fine and responsive to me. Only lacklustre thing is that there's sometimes an ad displayed on the left hand corner when you open the home tab, but the UI on common streaming apps like Youtube, Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video all work without a hiccup. Don't really see the reason paying another $99 on top of an expensive TV mostly just for the same functionalities.

        The Google assistant might be nice, but I already have Google Home in living room anyway. I usually browse stuff before finding something I want to watch and don't see the need to use Assistant to say something specific to watch something specific. I think this is probably mostly aimed at people who don't have a good smart TV or have a non-smart TV.

    • Ebaygiftcards on 03/10/2020 - 22:05

      This reviewer suggests you can't sideload apps for the moment as it appears Google has locked this. shrugs

      The LG C9 is a TV. It can convert signals sent from mountains and towers far, far away into light and sound. It sends internet traffic about what you are watching back to base to increase revenue for LG. But it dosen't need mountain signals, it can also use the World Wide Web (WWW)!!!

      Chromecast with Google TV is a media player, so it outputs electrical signals a TV can then emit as sound and light. And it is highly likely it also sends back data about what you are watching to increase revenue for Google. It can only use data from the WWW as it is significantly cheaper and doesn't have the magical mountain converting technology.

      The main point of difference is the user interface. LG's sucks. I have not played the the Chromecast with Google TV yet, but apparently it pulls content from most major apps you subscribe to and groups content into recommended, movies and shows. You can still access the apps directly and you can install thousands of apps as it runs on android TV.

        The official Google ethernet adapter is only 100Mbs (i.e. cheap and basic) while 1000Mbit has been the standard ethernet speed for the last decade or so and is easily available with third party adapters.

        100Mbs should be fine assuming you stay away from 4K content.

        • ExtremeDavo on 03/10/2020 - 20:57

          Yup, I was going to get one, but 100mbps is slower than wifi. Also the issue I have with my TV, end up on WiFi instead, which really bugs me.

      • ShoeJunkie on 04/10/2020 - 20:33

        Well, there is the idea that you can connect a bluetooth headset to the MiBox. Can't really do that with the dongle. That is one difference and also the fact that you can sideload apps pretty easily.

        • PainToad on 05/10/2020 - 06:16

          Can't really do that with the dongle.

          also the fact that you can sideload apps

          You seem confused. This isn’t a Chromecast. It’s running Android TV just like the MiBox, just with a different launcher. Functionality should be the same.

          • ShoeJunkie on 05/10/2020 - 09:10

            @PainToad: No, I understand its Google TV. I am just saying, when OEM try to 'integrate' services. Some things get harder. Things like sideloading apps will be a touch more challenging than with MiBox where you can just sideload using a USB stick.

            • PainToad on 06/10/2020 - 17:11

              @ShoeJunkie:

              Things like sideloading apps will be a touch more challenging than with MiBox where you can just sideload

              You still seem confused. This is running the same OS as the MiBox, there's just a different launcher. It's already been confirmed you can sideload on it (and there's no reason to have thought it wouldn't be possible).

              using a USB stick.

              Just use FTP or ADB.

        Netflix via Turkey.

        Essentially, $140 will get you either:

        • A Chromecast with $95 Aussie Netflix credit, which equals 6 months of the standard plan

        ….or

        • A Chromecast, with $40 left to put towards Netflix billed via Turkey, which equals 6 months of the standard plan, plus at the time, $15 Google Store credit (and then continued cheaper Netflix)
  • qube on 03/10/2020 - 19:21

      1) Probably will run way better than any Android TV built into a shitty “smart” tv.
      2) Will get updates longer.
      3) Will most likely have better app support since more people will have this device than a specific tv model.
      4) Once this gets out of date you simply buy the new model for $100. Compared to when your tv’s OS is out of date, you have to buy a whole tv.

      Smart TVs are dumb.

      • caitsith01 on 04/10/2020 - 22:34

        I have a good Sony and the Android TV interface is snappy, plus it lets me install whatever I want. I don't see anything about this new Google product that adds anything at all, to be honest.
