If you are casting to a TV, pass. I and many have had a problem with sound for almost a year. Recorded shows, soon after they air, have no sound when you cast. It works great playing on your phone or 3 days later casting. But if it's less than 1-8 hours after you record it and you cast it to your TV, no sound. And I'll add that I'm casting from a Google Pixel 5a, through a Google Nest wifi mesh, to a Google Chromecast. The channels I don't record have volume. Those I care about have none. Awful
