Great video, straight to the point. Can you please check if we can use a USB-C power brick to power the streamer instead of using the one provided in the box?
Google is slacking a bit here, I have had a Google TV device with more memory, a higher performance SoC, and a better remote for many months. The only thing this device has that's unique is thread and matter integration. Don't get me wrong it's a nice update to the Chromecast with Google TV but it should have been powered by Snapdragon Gen or a Dimensity SoC, something powerful enough to fully replace the Nvidia Shield, something with a powerful GPU and AI upscaling.
Even using a google pixel 9, this device couldn't be set up using a google phone. I had to set everything up manually. You can't multitask at all. i.e you can't look at Google Home without it pausing everything to do so. Google home isn't even an option until it's fully set up and then you use the mic on the remote to tell it to change a light level etc. THEN it shows up in the Home button menu. It's an OK box, I would recommend it to anyone on LG or Samsung TVs because Google TV OS (that is already on all Sony TVs) is the best TV OS. (imo) You can not tell it to get rid of certain background menu items. I even told it I Disliked the suggested movie and it won't go away.
