google has an event scheduled for 13 Aug...hopefully this is announced/released then...would love to have a new GTV before all the sports come back 🤞





@opie
I'm not being argumentative, genuinely asking:

What is exciting about this, other than a different form factor? The article is pretty light on details.

@voltronic

it's a settop box, not a dongle, so it can actually have processing power and storage capacity...rumours are it'll have a wired ethernet port in it...and it'll support AV1 codec (which most folks don't care about, but is a big deal for folks with home media servers)

I love the UI and functionality of the CCGTV...it's just woefully underpowered...

Ah okay. So more like the Roku Ultra I have in my living room as opposed to the streaming stick in my bedroom. I believe the Ultra has supported AV1 for a while.

And yes, wired ethernet FTW!

@voltronic

yep...all of the above

I am very excite for this...

I have both CCGTVs and Roku 4K sticks on my TVs...and want this google settop box to be the answer to all my needs... 🤞
