Hi jcolotti,

Thanks for posting. I'm sorry to hear about the situation that you are experiencing with your Sony TV and the Google TV Streamer, which is not being recognized. I appreciate the information provided. I understand how important this is for you. Don't worry; I'm here to help. I just need to ask for some information to provide the best solution.

Do you have the latest version of the Google Home app?
Are you using the same account on the Google Home app and the TV to set up your Google TV Streamer?
Did you receive any error message on the TV or the Google Home app? If so, what did it say?
Do you have a dual-band router?
Is the Google TV Streamer connected to the 5 GHz connection?

Please keep me posted.

Best regards,

Jenny

Had the same issue with my Sony! Try enabling HDMI-CEC (Bravia Sync) in settings that usually fixes it. Make sure it's in the right HDMI port and restart both devices. Works great once set up, especially for running a cinema streaming app to watch free HD movies on your big screen!
