Finally, a Chromecast with a remote control

Comprehensive media streaming device with all the bells and whistles

Google Chromecast with Google TV

Google Chromecast was first launched in 2013 and for such a relatively small and inexpensive device it offers a lot of powerful features. Each new iteration has improved incrementally over its predecessor but the one feature that I’ve always found glaringly missing is a remote. I understand the reasons why this has been the case because as the name suggests, it’s a device that connects to your TV and is used to cast from other devices such as phones, tablets and computers.

The Chromecast with Google TV is now a far more comprehensive media streaming device, featuring all the latest bells and whistles including 4K 60fps, HDR10, Dolby Vision and now finally, a stylish remote and more essentially, an intuitive menu system.
