I have spent over 3 hours & still unable to get my Chromecast for Google TV I purchased today.
I have reseted the Chromecast for Google TV to factory settings 3 times now & I still can't get it working. The set up process seemed to work fine, I connected it all through the Google Home app & then finished the set up via the remote (I did have to press the back arrow on the remote however to be able to finish the set up).
I thought that I had it all set up correctly, it was connected to my personal Gmail account, the apps installed & then I get to a screen that says:
Verify that's it's you
You were signed out of your Google Account.
Sign in again to continue using your device.
When I select 'Sign in', it loads for 2secs & then returns to the same screen.
If I select 'Settings' it takes me into the Chromecast for Google TV settings for just a few seconds & then returns back to the 'Verify that it's you' screen.
This is so frustrating. I have spent all night trying to set this up, Google promotes its products as being so easy to set up & use, that's not true at all. I have a Google account & for some reason it won't let me get into the Chromecast for Google TV home screen.
I have been reading various forums online & it seems there are a large number of people that are experiencing the same issue. One person said that spoke with Google & were instructed to do a manual set up & allow the firmware to update & then it seemed to work. I have no idea how to do this & why I would even have to?
I have done everything correctly, 3 times over, I'm reasonably familiar with Google products, I also own 3 Chromecasts which work fine.
I thought the Chromecast for Google TV was going to be a great product, how wrong could I be. I should have just purchased an Amazon Fire TV Stick for half the price.
I was excited to get this up & running so I could have all my various streaming apps on the one streaming device via 1 HDMI port on my TV.
Is anyone aware of a solution to this?
Thanks.
