Google says the device has access to more than 400,000 movies and TV episodes, as well as millions of songs. It’s available for $49.99 on its own and $89.99 bundled with a six-month Netflix subscription. (In Canada, it’s C$69.99 and C$119.99, respectively.).
You can think of Google TV as a software component of the newest Chromecast device, called Chromecast with Google TV, which in fact can be purchased for $50. It’s also being used as the interface for some Android TV set-top systems.
It’s available for $49.99 on its own and $89.99 bundled with a six-month Netflix subscription. (In Canada, it’s C$69.99 and C$119.99, respectively.) For those who don’t have a streaming device yet, Chromecast with Google TV is worth checking out.
For the most part, yes, but the reason people are excited about Google TV is that it offers nearly all of the functionality of having a real computer connected to your TV, with a user interface that makes sense when you’re sitting on the couch.
Another common question is “When does the new price for Google TV go into effect?”.
This new price takes effect June 30 for new members and the July 30 billing cycle for existing subscribers. The service, which allows customers to watch more than 80 TV channels over the internet, had 2 million subscribers as of the end of 2019, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said on the company’s Q4 2019 earnings call.
One idea is that as Google TV doesn’t have channels of its own, you need to have a You. Tube TV subscription to watch Live TV channels on it. You can find the list of channels on You. Tube TV here.
How much does YouTube TV cost per month?
A month of You. Tube TV does cost you $65, so you’re basically paying for a Chromecast and then $15 for the first month of You. Tube TV. It’s a great way to check out You. Tube TV and get a Chromecast for free. Update: On June 7, 2021, Google announced that Sling TV is now supported in the Live TV tab for Google TV.
