Google TV on top of Android TV?

by yuhenyo_

To people that are using an android TV, what are your thoughts on using the chromecast with google TV?

I know it's redundant but sometimes the android TV interface is slow and lags a lot.

"What is lag ", said the Shield owner.

Fwiw I have a Sony Android TV and switched completely to using the Chromecast with Google TV. It's much faster and runs a much newer (better) version of the OS.

I like how Google TV's interface presents you with recommend shows and movies based on what you watch and I like the different categories it comes up with. I also like the easy access to Google assistant with the remote. 50 bucks feels like a steal for what you are getting.

It was worth the wait.

I don't understand the concern for lag. Yeah my 2015 sony lags, no big deal. I rarely spend time in the launcher, just head to an app and play a video. I don't see any lag the 99.9% of the time I'm watching a show.
