Questions about Google Chromecast with TV US version

US version means the power plug is not EU socket compatible. So you need an adapter to use it.

Digitec is obliged to supply electrical appliances with a Swiss plug. If the appliance is supplied with a foreign plug, a suitable replacement cable should be supplied if the mains cable is pluggable or, alternatively, a suitable adapter if the mains cable is permanently connected. If the appliance is delivered without a suitable plug, complain to the customer service and insist on a cable or an adapter, free of charge. Point 1 --> https://www.esti.admin.ch/de/themen/faq/elektrische-erzeugnisse-marktueberwachung/ Travel adapters are not allowed to make unsuitable adapters suitable (see link).

Yes 😄

We currently have no information on whether or when we will be able to include the EU version in our range.

I think it's the charger. The US has the same plug as in the USA. I also have one and you can use an adapter to plug it into the socket in our country.

The US version has a US power adapter, but otherwise works the same.

After comparison, the two seem identical. I personally use the US version and it works perfectly.

It depends on what you want to install. Many streaming services are already installed. You can uninstall all of these. Zattoo and some other apps work for sure. But it depends on what you want. This thing is really intended as a streaming device, not so much as a mini computer...and the storage space has been kept small accordingly.

No, the setup is only necessary for the connection with the Google Account. After that, you no longer need the phone or tablet. By the way, the Google ChromeCast with Google TV power adapter has a US plug, i.e. an adapter would still be necessary. However, since the Google ChromeCast with Google TV has a USB-C interface, it can also be operated with a CH USB charger and a USB-C cable. Digitec may supply a power adapter for Swiss sockets, but I don't know. Streaming with the device works flawlessly, it can connect to the 2.4 GHz as well as the 5 GHz WiFi network. This works without any problems with the existing Huawei Mobile WiFi Pro2. When setting up the device, you only have to select the WLAN of the Mobile WiFi Hotspot and enter the password for it. By the way, the remote control of the Google ChromeCast with Google TV can also operate the TV, i.e. switching on the TV, turning the volume up and down is all possible with it :).

Yes, no problem, the Google ChromeCast with Google TV is simply powered by the supplied USB charger (USB-C) and then plugged into an HDMI socket at the TV. The included remote control can also be used to turn the TV on and off and adjust the volume on the TV.

Unfortunately, I only have the UPC TV app. But it was installed without any problems and also works with the remote control.

Are you looking in the right place? Google Play Store? I have it running without any problems.

Yes, it works wonderfully.

It is a normal USBC power supply, so you can use any USB power supply. However, digitec is obliged to supply a Swiss plug. If you don't find one, please return it. The Chromcast only has a USB C connection and HDMI. I am satisfied with the device.

Yes, besides the USB cable type C, there is a US adapter in the package. You can use any USB adapter or ask digitec for one.

I am using this one Verbatim Multiport (HDMI, 60W, USB Typ C, USB A) It works fine, doesn`t lose conection. Gets hot after some time. I am very happy with it. If you get an other one, make sure that ist has a usb charging function, because you have to get the Power throu the usb Conection. What sucks is that the chromecast doesent support Chrome Browser. There some browser apps like puffin, althoug i have had some isue with online viedeo sizing. I just stram from my smartphone when watsch SRF Play ore and Internet content wich is not youtube. I would by it again, especially the remote Control is awesome. It did reconize my TV so i only need one Remote for all. Cheers

So what I can definitely say is that the UPC app has to be sideloaded onto the Chromecast somehow. I can't find anything in the store. Maybe someone else can tell you how the app works. I don't have UPC myself. Greetings

I mean the Harman Kardon Citation One, of course.

The US version contains a power supply with a US plug format, so a US-EU adapter not supplied by DIGITEC is required... The FR version should not require this as the two-pin plugs are used almost everywhere in Europe...

I use this one: Xtorm XC004 (3Ports) I need the adapter mainly so that I can connect an Ethernet cable.

US version" means that this is the product version as sold in the USA (Google TV incl.). However, the setup can also be done in German.

Teleboy is doing very well. I am very satisfied. Before, I had Quicklime with the Android Setup Box. Personally, I find Google TV clearer and more modern than Minix. You're also the first to get the latest updates. What also bothered me about the Minix was the PlayStore with apps that were not optimised for the TV. However, everyone has to know this for themselves. :-)

Absolument

Will probably come in the middle of 2021. https://www.nau.ch/news/digital/chromecast-kommt-neu-mit-google-tv-aber-ohne-stadia-65794407

I saw in a You Tube video from LTT (Linus Technisch Tips) that it works, but I haven't tested it myself yet because I still have to order it.

The cable supplied is USB-C to USB-A. The power supply unit is unfortunately US.

Dolby Digital doesn't work for us...
