Does this mean YouTube Podcasts is ready for prime time?

Time to get out of Google Podcasts for anyone that is still using the service.

    That’s why I never used it, because I knew it will happen. Better to use some other solution. I wish there was a third party option to google chromecast and all the home devices that works as well.

        I hate that all the TCL TVs this year changed from Roku and Google this year to just Google. Give me some variety and competition. Also, I like their simpler out-of-the-box interface better with less ads and such, even though the Google TV interface is more customizable.

            Yes they do. Usually one big ad on the side of the screen. And they may if you use certain screen savers. I think the city scapes one puts ads in it. Note: all the ads I mention are static images without sound.

        What are you using for control? I wouldn’t mind scrapping my Roku for something a little more robust but using a mouse and keyboard on my home television seems kind of …awful.

          A Trackball is a lot better than a mouse.

          That said, I haven’t found anything beats both.

          They make mini keyboard/trackball things but they’re all such low quality crap.
