Almost a year ago, Google presented its Google TV streamer, I found feelings: I finally launched an intensive user device, but at what price. Having 119 dollars for a television of less than 300 dollars was not an option for me. And also arrived with a cold water jug: goodbye with a chromecast, which is for me The best device in Google's story.
I was able to try Google's first Google TV streamer and although I love it, I think The ratio of cost advantages fell in front of the latest generation chromecastAuthentic rescuers for televisions that were not an intelligent television, slow and vestusta interfaces or an intelligent television as basic as mine and that they go to pedals.
Yes, chromecast with Google TV failed, but the Google TV streamer seemed too much investment, so I took a Alternative via without spending a euro enjoy something I had at home: The classic USB-C hub which is generally used to win more ports in ultrabooks. And all this thanks to this USB-C port of Chromecast, which serves much more than it seems.
Chromecast with a hub is better
Given the price of the hubs and what they offer when connecting to a chromecast, it seems to me a magnificent option for revitalize a google device that works perfectly And that he will still give me a lot of joys. Another thing would be if I did not have a chromect, nor a hub and my TV was better.
In summary, the large limits of chromecast are that it has little storage space (only 8 GB) and that it has only one port, although if you have a smart house and you look to the future, it had support for material would be good news and since we are, more personalization for the order. GOOD, With a hub, they solve half of the problems.
The idea is to connect the chromecast to the TV, the center to wearing the chromecast and from there, use one of the shots to feed everything. But there are a few We use free ports to take advantage of it.
To start, using Ethernet takes a direct connection to the router. Little explanation needs it: this is not the first or last time that I noticed granulations in a certain reproduction in 4K or some fruits of Wi-Fi interference. Using a minimized cable, these risks and I also benefit from the speed of my hiring rate.
The other big advantage is that With an SD card or USB memory, it is possible to increase storage. Connecting an external storage device and with a file explorer (in my case, file commander) the compatible content that houses can be viewed, but few people know that with a simple configuration, storage can be unified so that they work as a. I have some former USB memories of Little Space to record photos or videos, but 32 GB is a joy for television.
To do this, simply enter Google TV and when you play on the profile photo. Then, in the adjustments, we follow the route 'System'>'Storage'. The options of “appearExpel'Y'Delete and format as storage of the device '. The one that interests us in the first format then plays in 'Migrate data to this storage'.
I have no updated command (although I can control it from the mobile and it is a good application) I vitamin my chromcast to polish two of his great failures And if it shows.
