@PhilNickinson , have you had any with the volume fluctuating on the built in speaker? I'm able to lower the volume with the remote as long as I have the buttons setup to control the box and not the TV. If I switch the buttons back to controlling the TV, the next time I go to use the voice commands, the built in speaker is crazy loud. Also, it won't turn the built in speaker volume down by voice. Says I have to turn on the TV. This is only real issue I'm having. I'm considering turning off the built in speaker and using a Google Home Mini I have instead, but that kind of negates one of the advantages this device has. I'm hoping maybe I'm doing something wrong, or it can be addressed in a future firmware upgrade.

The Ethernet is a nice touch, but at 10/100 I’m probably going to use a USB hub with and Gigabit Ethernet port in it. There are actually 3 versions of the remote.

@@PhilNickinson that's semantics. No, it's not low res at face value, but in context, it's very low res. 1440p phones have been a thing for an entire decade now. By definition, 1080p is laughably outdated, but like h264, it still has many legitimate real world purposes since it's way better than "good enough". So, in a phone, 1080p is low res when it's been found on budget 100 dollar phones for about 5 years (yet people love to forget this when they accept paying 800+ dollars for a screen resolution from 2012). Tldr: I overall agree, but tech moves on. 1080p is low res in 2024 and it's silly to argue otherwise. However, like 1080p, there are plenty of outdated things that are very useful and relevant (you can definately argue that paper books are outdated, but there are tons of reasons to want to keep books around and to read them). I say all of this as someone who strongly feels that the word "outdated" has had its meaning change dramatically over the past decade. My 6 year old LG V40 can do things that your "modern" phone cannot do, and can do some things much faster due to the way Android used to be designed. I would be downgrading by phone if I got a newer one due to the way I use a phone. My phone is not "outdated" in the same way it would be if it from 2010 and 6 years old (although, ironically, a 6 year old Windows Mobile phone was able to do way way more than the first few iPhones could... I need to shut up before I erode my own argument haha). A similar thing has happened to 1080p. It's outdated by definition, but it has a new purpose in today's hyper connected video sharing world and with modern codecs.

I'd been using the Nvidia Shield forever. Until I switched to the Apple TV and was shocked. Support of frame rate switching means the Apple TV forces the TV to match content frame rate so no more judder or dropped frames. And the Apple TV app learns and shows me exactly what I want to watch, especially as a sports fan. Google is obsessed with with showing you movies and TV shows only, which I just don't have time for. Also, apple tv supports dual Bluetooth headphones. HUGE for parents with small kids. Sports fans and new parents, switch now and never look back!

Except for the occurrence of very annoying dropout issues when trying to watch DV/Atmos movies on Netflix. This started happening to me recently and even the latest TVOS update side didn’t fix the problem, but toggling the Match Rates to off did. That and some DV scenes are incredibly dark compared to the same program on TV provider’s player box (Arris/Technicolor Xi6) - which while long in the tooth and short on user options, has been completely trouble free for over 6 years. If it makes any difference this is on LGB2 series with the latest WebOS - which is unnecessary cluttered and not as intuitive as the previous, but that’s another issue.

Interesting perspective! I'm not saying you're wrong, but I think most people would be fine with a TV and movie streaming box recommending TV shows and movies. Honestly, I'm surprised to see someone advocating for streaming boxes (Apple or otherwise) saying they don't have time for the intended purpose... to watch content. Your point about sports is valid; many people do rely on local TV or cable for that. As for the Nvidia Shield, it definitely has its quirks. I actually have both the Apple TV and the Shield, and I find myself returning to the Nvidia Shield because it supports all the audio codecs. I watch movies in uncompressed Blu-ray rips, so the full audio experience is important to me, and unfortunately, Apple TV doesn't offer that. The Shield's beta feature for frame rate matching works most of the time, around 85%. If Apple TV supported all the audio codecs, I would switch in a heartbeat.

I don't know why you need recommendations for sports; personally I follow certain teams, and I know their schedules and how to watch them. It's half the price of the Apple TV 4K, and you won't be giving money to Apple.

Only downside is Nest cameras will only steam to a genuine Google device now... I just made a super fast m.2 drive and used a USB hub on the Chromecast and put ALL apps on that. The Chromecast doesn't lag when there's no apps on it. Seems to mostly be an issue when the on board storage is being used. I'm suspecting inadequate cooling as plastic isn't the best conductor. I'm considering taking it apart and putting heat sinks just to see if that would make a difference. If so, I might make my own box with access to the USB hub, built in m.2 storage and a better cooling solution. But, my main thing was being able to stream my Nest Cam to the TV so my wife can keep an eye on the kids in the back yard while folding laundry etc... and it's way less laggy than the built in Sony Google TV experience.

From the shots I saw, the Fire TV 4k (2nd Gen) and 4k Max (1st and 2nd Gen) and the Fire TV Cube (2nd and 3rd Gen) are the only ones which (a) support Dolby Vision, and (b) have a fluid interface experience. But all of the Fire TV models mentioned all cost more than the Onn. 4K Pro Google TV. On the case of the Cube, double. Hence, Amazon has to respond in a big way!

Not available at Walmart Canada. Have not been across the border as it requires a passport now. Wally USA might mail you one but only to the border. Odd though that the Canadian stores get ONN TVs, tablets, and accessories but not the streamers. We never got the Xiaomi Mi boxes either...

Just gotten used to healthy people beeing insane lazy and clueless these days. I sadly cannot answer your question but I would suspect you can do that. But that's just a wild guess at this point.. Try searching for someone trying to test those commands. Someone akready have or will do that soon I suspect. Or if there is another way you can navigate with some hardware?

I'm late, but I have one and can't confirm that it gets that granular. I don't know what commands you use to do it on fire stick but just saying "left", "right", etc didn't work for me. Like a few other things in Google's ecosystem non-standard accessibility features can be added via downloading applications... For example adding a mouse app, and button remapper app added two new categories in my accessibility menu... So idk if there's something that will help you get that same functionality. Maybe... Especially since Fire stick is just Amazon "skinned" android TV os while Google TV is just Google skinned android TV os. That said Amazon's specific apps are usually locked by them to not be able to run at full capacity on Google TV, if at all, so there may not be an option for you Sorry that I couldn't help more

It depends on the app. Netflix still uses that API correctly. Most others don't. But a lot of them make it pretty easy to sign back in.

Could you address a question. I'm a fan of the original no remote Chromecasts. Recommended them to friends, family, and clients. They were cheap. They were great for what they were. When the Chromecast with the Remote came out I replaced all three of my originals. And HAAAATED them. The constantly being advertised to. Recommendations for services I didn't subscribe too was exhausting. They're collecting dust now. I used them for maybe a month before retiring them. Is this device the same Google TV with all the recommendations for services you don't subscribe too as the Chromecast with Google TV?
@tsonaqua

To be clear, I connected my Netflix, KZitem, Prime and Plex. But 70% of my recommendations were for Disney, Crave, Hulu, and a half dozen others. It felt like I bought an advertisement machine.
