I had this issue with my OG Chromecast with Google TV. I ordered it way back when it was first announced. I then used an Apple TV for a while. But Google gave me a free Chromecast 4k with Google TV and it looks exactly the same but performs much better than the OG. I haven’t got a clue why. Didn’t see any refresh articles or anything on a quick search.
