Google announces Google TV Streamer, its Chromecast replacement

Google has announced Google TV Streamer. The 4K TV streaming device replaces Google’s Chromecast, but is faster, with upgraded features. Along with offering Google TV, the Google TV Streamer doubles as a smart home hub for Google Home and Matter devices.

Google TV Streamer offers access to 700,000+ movies and shows through streaming apps like YouTube TV, Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV and more, in addition to live TV with 800+ free channels. To make it easier to find what to watch, Google TV Streamer uses Google AI and the users preferences to curate content suggestions across all the user’s subscriptions.

Using Google’s Gemini generative AI technology on Google TV, users can get summaries, reviews and season-by-season breakdowns of content to aid content discovery.

Google TV Streamer is available for pre-order today, August 6. It will be available on September 24 for $99.99 from the Google Store and other third-party retailers.
