I don’t know why I’m surprised to learn that there are ads on the chromecast, but I guess that’s my AppleTV privilege talking. I too have the OG 4K and it just continues to work and never slow down.
Yeah, it tries to load up some ads and then also some suggestions of what you should watch, and that for some reason takes forever. I have a 1gbps connection, and though it’s over WiFi since there’s no out of the box option to hardwire, it still takes too long. I presume because it’s I guess taxing the chip on that little thing too hard?
Thank you for both of your thoughts, looking at the ChromeCast that I have sitting around (fairly new), it doesn't have many problems compared to my 'SmartTV' especially with Ads, Loading and things but yeah it seems to always be selling you the latest TV Show or Movie, or just show me something I've never been interested in watching like Sports.
