Not the lowest price as the limited availability FP deal,but a decent price for those who prefer a wired connection. Seems to have most of the features of the top of the line Roku Ultra. Also has a microSD slot for extra channel storage.

1. Press the Home button five times.
2. Press the Up button once.
3. Press the Rewind button twice.
4. Press the Fast Forward button twice.
5. The device will restart in a few seconds.
I also add felt and rubber bumper pads to the bottom to give it more airflow/prevent overheating.
The "updated" Ultra removed the microSD card because they supposedly beefed up internal storage but it's nowhere near as large as you can find with microSD cards so I guess time will tell if app bloat becomes an issue.

No. Google tv is not an app. It is the UI of the chromecast with Google tv. A completely new, well almost a year old product.
CCwGTV was mentioned last n my post
Is the shield a dongle? Nope. Sorry you were not aware of Google's new device. I assume that made it confusing. Regardless, the new CCwGTV lacks storage for common users.

I have a 1st gen Roku Ultra. Fast forwarding is a thumbnail slideshow, and you have to hold the button down or click it over and over to skip ahead bit by bit.
My 3rd gen Apple TV (2012?) did full screen fast forward in youtube for example. Only problem is lack of newer apps because they discontinued app support basically.
Have to pull batteries out of remote occasionally because it stops responding.
Just crashes and resets every so often.
You still can't even quote me right. You're hopeless. I know technology can be difficult for some to keep up with, but stick with it.
Do NOT get a current Google TV dongle. Huge issue everyone is now discovering….no storage. I only have 11 apps installed and can't install any others or update current ones. Have to clear cache daily. I have 4 CCwGTV devices and they are all like this. Google went cheap on the storage.

If you ever have to do that again, do yourself a favor and use the Roku app on your phone as a remote, so you can type with your mobile keyboard.
