Upon powering on the TV, the Chromecast takes up to 10-20 seconds to start, and when it eventually does, the Chromecast doesn’t respond to the TV remote. The fix is to change the source back and forth (HDMI1 to HDMI2 back to HDMI1), and it will finally start responding.
It's an issue that has been around for several years now, and I have tried long to find a fix or a workaround. But eventually, the annoyance has led us to rather just use our Samsung Smart TV function and only use Google TV for streaming from other devices.
Now, of course, we can just use the Bluetooth remote, but we have several devices in our household controlled by a single Harmony remote system. And since Google's Bluetooth controller is not compatible with Logitech Harmony, the workaround has been to use the TV's Anynet+/HDMI-CEC function. When having kids and other technically challenged residents, it's super convenient to have everything controlled from one remote.
This could, of course, be an issue with the TV, but I really doubt it because this unit is the only unit that really does this. And it’s a consistent error on every initial startup of the TV and Chromecast.
