    Since its debut, the new Chromecast with Google TV has been a fan favorite and the new go-to streaming dongle for many users; including all of us here at Chrome Unboxed. The addition of the remote and a proper on-screen UI to the already-great Chromecast formula has made this new streamer an easy recommend for all sorts of people, but that doesn't mean it is completely without a learning curve. Hidden inside the Chromecast remote are a handful of quick shortcuts that, if you know them, can save you a bit of time and really make you a Chromecast remote ninja. Let's take a look.

    I have a question that has nothing to do with this video... I couldnt find the answer on internet... so my question is how to remove documents, photo's ect. from a read only map...
    It worked when i went to the app that the picture was from and removed it there, but I still have a few stubburn pictures in the read only map that come from that same app but they are already removed from that app..
    So how can I delete these?

    Both the UA-cam and UA-cam TV app on any other device (smart TVs, and even Fire Stick) provide the ability to switch accounts. Oddly enough, on this device, you have to sign out, then sign in choosing another account. Very strange that Google would omit the more intuitive switching option on their own device.

    We loose the damn remote so often it's almost worthless. However some of the shortcuts you showed could be very useful. Google TV interface has got a lot better over the last 2 years but Roku is still king of simplicity. We have 1 Google TV, 3 3rd Gen Chromecasts and 2 Chromecast Ultras. Of all of them the 3rd Gen Chromecast is still the best only because the Chromecast Ultra overheats and reboots at least once a day. The remote really is just like a bonus feature we only use when our phones are charging.

      @@tlawlessrr-vid-archive for me it all depends on what app I'm going to use. If I'm using something like UA-cam I'll just cast it right from the phone because it pulls up the UA-cam app on the Chromecast and I can continue with the remote later. If it's something like Amazon prime video I'll just use the remote because Amazon's casting honestly sucks.

    Without family accounts Roku is the winner. I will switch to Google TV when each family member can easily switch to their own account.

      Roku is much easier but it lacks a lot of features that Google TV provides. It is clunky but you should have seen it 2 years ago, horrid. I'm hoping they improve it more.

      @@tlawlessrr-vid-archive on Roku a lot of features are down to the channels aka apps, but it keeps getting better with each update(for example I can now do airplay from my Macbook Pro if I need it), and all the free content from the many channels on Roku for me beats Chromecast/Google TV, the long term support Roku provides their players is 2nd to none, and I don't know of another currently supported streaming box/stick I can still use on the 2nd TV in my game room that's an early 00's 27in Panasonic CRT(I use it for old school game consoles, and a 2nd TV for football/wrestling), and I know not 4K but I can pick up a basic Roku Express for under $30 USD.

      @@CommodoreFan64 Any app that will run on Android will cast to the TV. Varying degrees of success but I would say there about evan on content. The features that really differentiate Google TV from Roku are the ability to pair Bluetooth headphones, speakers, mouse and gaming controllers to the TV. We tested a bunch of accessories and every one of them worked. The headphones were the coolest because we have 3 Tvs in my bedroom and I often don't want to watch my wife's loves stories. The other big feature will be parental controls. Like locking the TV volume after a certain time of night and setting my kids TVs to turn off every night at 10pm. The parental controls are still in development but it should not take them long. We also tested some game emulation with a BT controller for the Nintendo 64 and I was playing Zelda the Ocorina of time in a snap. I don't use all these features daily but it is cool to know they exist. 5/7 of our TVs all have roku built into them and a love the simplicity of Roku but casting content from my phone to various TVs is really the Chromecast's biggest selling point.
