patseguin Global Moderator Posted October 16, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted October 16, 2014 I'm intrigued by the Nexus Player, but doesn't it seem to be just an AppleTV copy? What will it do better? My big gripe with Chromecast was that it only played stereo, no surround sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsupersonic Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Yes, that is also my biggest gripe with the Chromecast - could not for the life of me figure out how to get it to ouput surround sound. I would've had to just suck it up and buy a new receiver which I wasn't willing to do. Anyways, I can't wait to see what kind of reviews it gets. I do have a Fire TV, that is literally collecting dust. Between that, the Chromecast, Xbox One, Xbox 360, I have a plethora of media streaming devices. Still love the Chromecast for its simplicity.

MikeFu84 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 It's AppleTV. It's Amazon Fire. It's Roku. They are all the same with a few exclusives. Personal preference in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUTZIFER Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 How would it be a copy? Besides, there's tons of different boxes for TVs that do similar things, its not copying anyone, its just different companies making thier own, just like every other product or service in the world. I'm sure there was many thngs that hook up to a TV before Apple made something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
