    Think I might buy one, shame we don't seem to be getting the grey version the US have as an exclusive from Google.

    White/cream here?

    Had one in the basket last night, but didn't order as I was home late enough. That, and I want to watch the review again. It was saying delivery approx October 30-31, plus suggesting having an email alert to get notified.

    Seems to be out of stock this morning, btw.

    Reading some user reviews in the states on Reddit it doesn't do proper audio passthrough if your using an av amp etc and users saying it's quite sluggish to use. They seem to think Google focused more on the AI/threads aspects then the streaming side. Might hold fire and wait to see if they optimize it with updates.

    Best to hold fire based on reading this if you want iPlayer etc not working in the UK same if side loaded etc

    Google Streamer 4k Issues for UK Users

    Just a cautionary note for those in the UK wishing to pick one of these up.

    • Currently, there's no iPlayer available - sideloading it doesn't seem to work either. Least, not on the apks I could find.
    • There's no Channel 4 ALL4 app (though I don't believe that's ever been available on Android/Google TV outside of Sony TVs)
    • Google TV Freeplay isn't available.
    • The often mentioned AI Screensaver generator doesn't appear to be available right now.

    I had enough credit on the Google Store after buying a phone that I could pick one of these up. If I'd spent £100 on it directly, I'd probably be a bit annoyed.
