    It is a good deal for this unit on it’s own. If you are a Netflix subscriber (or want to be), the Google store is offering this unit plus a $95.94 Netflix credit (equivalent to six months for two screens) for a total of $139.99.
    This means you’re effectively getting the unit for $44.05 and paying for Netflix six months in advance.

        Does the credit transfer to overseas accounts?

          Can I use this google chromecast tv unit then sign in with netflix turkey despite having everything else as 'australia'?

          I also have youtube india, so I'm assuming I can just sign into youtube as I normally do and have ad free etc??

    • tm32 on 09/07/2021 - 12:42

      There was a deal recently with 2 units for an extra saving. Not sure its still on offer.

      Yep $219 for 2 units + Netflix. Save $19

      • shaqie on 09/07/2021 - 15:25

        still cheaper to the a single unit with netflix

    • Phurle on 09/07/2021 - 13:18

      Or you could get 6 months netflix for $40 ~ $6.70pm by ordering, redeeming returning.

      "If you return the device within the allowable return period and have already redeemed the Netflix offer, you will be refunded $99.00"

    • OpenHand on 09/07/2021 - 15:10

      Is it pure credit? I have one of the 4 screen accounts so I'm not sure if that'd apply.

      • Wardaddy on 09/07/2021 - 15:24

        Yes, pure credit, can use it on your 4 screen account. I did.

    • drongodave on 10/07/2021 - 08:31

      If you happen to have the 'Google store spend $150 get $30 back Amex deal' this would be a great deal for two individual chromecasts with the Netflix deal. Effectively works out as around $29 each

Wasn’t worried about warranty as the unit is so new. One in in my travel bag for work trips around the state. Has connected fine to most (not all) hotel free wifi no problem.

    How does this compare to the Amazon Fire TV stick 4K?

    • here4dealz on 09/07/2021 - 13:04

      Also interested in this. Going in and out of the different streaming apps is a pain

      • altiarlio on 09/07/2021 - 13:10

        Also interested, my fire sticks lags and is unusually when I connect the echo dot via Bluetooth

      • vinnychase on 09/07/2021 - 13:10

        amazon fire tv is faster, feels snappier and less buggy than Google TV. Google TV UI looks much better than Amazon's one. If prime video is your main man go amazon on the other if you use Netflix, stan, disney, binge go google tv

        • vinnychase on 09/07/2021 - 13:12

          but if you want an experience like no other, look no further then the Apple TV

          • proudwanderer on 09/07/2021 - 13:17

            @vinnychase: But it's also 3x the cost.

                @mrau: I'm sure Apple TV is a great device, but it is also 3x the cost as i pointed out above.

                The Google TV (and Amazon Stick) are "stick" devices and designed to be simple and cheap.

                If we really need to compare, the Apple TV should be compared to NVIDIA Shield (Android TV). Both are flagship full featured devices and similar in pricing.

        Transformed our TV viewing. After trying one I bought another for the bedroom TV, it is so easy and simple, and the only remote required now. Have running on both my "smart" tvs and it is way better than the apps on them.
        Also great if you dont have Bluetooth on your TV as you can pair headphones via the Google tv also.

        • sim36 on 12/07/2021 - 11:27

          So I looked into the bluetooth performance of the Google TV and it's sketchy to say the least. Lag/latency is the issue, nothing unusual there but if you use certain apps (Kodi) that offer ability to adjust this lag you can work around it.

          • nepalesesquirrel on 12/07/2021 - 11:43

            @sim36: Well I use 2 on 2 different tvs and watch a movie on them most nights and I have found no sync issues at all. (Using XM4's)

    • orac01 on 09/07/2021 - 13:14

      this is just my 2 cents but haven used both over the last few weeks i find the fire stick was easier to set up and a little smother in use.
      the google did not like that i have my 2.4 and 5 G wifi as one SSID. the amazon stick had no issue at all.

      • Plimsol on 09/07/2021 - 13:57

        Odd that it didn’t like the frequency sharing as that is how the Google wifi router works

        • orac01 on 09/07/2021 - 16:07

          its work fine after the update but you still need to get online first.

        • Wardaddy on 09/07/2021 - 16:17

          My Google tv works just fine with frequency sharing.

    • jnbluv2h on 09/07/2021 - 14:21

      I got this recently to be used with a lagging Sony smart Android TV and was amazed by the ease of use and super smooth navigating (I'm a long time original Chromecast and smart tv user). I went to buy another and saw the Firestick 4k on sale for $59 and thought why not and grabbed that instead. My kids have been using the Fire Stick 4K and they are happy. It's easy to use and navigate too, however the remote doesn't feel as responsive as the Google one and I do feel like it takes half or one more second to respond with every click. It does do the job perfectly though, if I haven't used a Google one.

      I'll say for $85-$99 I'd go with Google TV without hesitation. But if Amazon is ever doing a promo price for Fire stick 4k at $59, then by all means go for it, it's totally worth it.

      Another small thing to add on though, you could easily get a silicon cover for the Google TV remote cheaply and quickly from some eBay Australia based store. For the new Fire stick 4K remote, there aren't any covers out there available to be shipped from local warehouse yet. I've placed 2 orders on AliExpress and they both got cancelled after a few days. I eventually bought it from Amazon US store and received in two weeks. Not cheap, but it got my remote kids-proof🤣

      • bamzero on 09/07/2021 - 15:49

      Fire TV feels a lot more smoother and faster but chromecast has a more variety of apps on the play store then the amazon store.

    May have to put in a claim, paid $92.
    reminds me I've still got a new one in the box with the netflix deal.

    ps. Does anyone else notice sound can cut out for an instant now and again (I've got it plugged into HDMI input on a soundbar -> ARC to TV. The Q70T has Atmos and the GTV is capable of broadcasting also (Netflix). Just using the HDMI cable that was supplied, think it's a 2.0, I could test with the Dell one, just one of those bugs i think. Likewise the GTV reverts to 1080p quite often instead of 4k, need to power the soundbar off and on again, fks me.

      You tube has not implement a who is watching page so it’s the default account all the time. Netflix / Prime all have a user log page to select account.

    Couple of questions.
    1. How does this compare to the Vodafone TV? I have the VTV and so far its been good but I wanted to get something more "compact". Would the Shield "tube" be better?
    2. Does Kayo natively work on it? Currently Kayo does not work with VTV directly (Using Kodi as a workaround) so hoping this will do the trick.

    Cheers.

      Have got a couple of vodaphone TV boxes and while great, there's a few draw backs. The Google TV will let you install prime video, which you can't with vodaphone.

      Can still side load apps which let's me use stremio etc. So probs going to move the other TVs over it as well.

    I hear you can watch standard free to air on these without any subscription/cost, like channel 7, 9 etc, is that correct?

    I don't have any android devices in my house; and I notice there is no "Google TV" app for iOS. Is this detrimental or can control everything using the boxed remote/voice control and not needed?

    • thonk on 10/07/2021 - 11:01

      iOS has a Google Home app which is pretty much all you need to set it up, don't need a phone to control it other than that as the remote does everything, you can even forgo the phone and set it up with a remote too. iOS can still cast to it as part of the "Chromecast" feature also. No detrimental impact depending what phone you have.

      You can get the FTA channels like channel 7, 9, if you get their corresponding app, 7plus and 9now iirc.

    just an FYI to anyone that might come up with the same problem.
    bought google TV.
    signed in with my google account.
    went to download aussie apps like Kayo and Stan etc, got this notice: This app cannot be played in your country.
    what the… i'm in australia?
    did some digging around, turns out my google account was set to argentina for my premium subscription. tried to "switch" to my aussie address but still not recognition on the google tv side. i don't want to remove the argenitinian address as maybe it'll play around with the YT premium subscription.
    solution: made a fresh google address, remove "argentinian" google account from google tv and sign in with new account, download all the australian apps your heart desires. then remove new account and resign in with "argentinian" account. either way, the apps work with both.
