Yes! I hadn’t seen that highlighted anywhere in articles really, only saw it on the damn Google Store after looking just now.

Seems an all around solid update on the previous device.

Just gotta stick FLauncher, SmartTube, Jellyfin, and Stremio on it and it seems solid.

I changed from FLauncher to Projectivity Launcher a little while ago and definitely recommend it

I just hope this is still possible on the new one, I can see a future where they make it impossible but hopefully not yet.

I agree that it’s a good upgrade too, the only dowside is that it’s not portable anymore, I used to take it with me on any travel to have my own home theater set up like I like it with me when I was living in Hotels and AirBnB’s for a year on business travel. Especially in Asia the TVs are in the local language and I never have any idea how to change the language from Korean or Japanese to English so I can use the TV. But putting in the dongle and turning on the TV was always possible.

And now I can install all those things without worrying about my internal storage filling to capacity!

You can get an Ethernet adapter for the Chromecast

Yeah, exactly. You needed to buy an extra adapter before. Now you don’t.

This TV Streamer costs significantly more than a CCwGTV combined with an adapter.
