If they are serious about adding features, they need to update and improve the hardware. The comically low on-board storage on the CCwGTV is a significant barrier to them being able to implement new features well and the processor is also an issue as evidenced by the occasional 8-10 second delay in the interface loading if you haven't used the Chromecast in a bit.

I applaud Google trying to make the platform better (even if I won't use any of the features personally), but all I really want is a Chromecast that has a more powerful chip and more on-board storage. I'm not saying Google needs to stick a Tensor chip in the thing or come up with a competitor to the Shield, but honestly the hamster wheel chips used in Roku's devices feel smoother than the Chromecast a lot of days.
