How to watch

4K is no problem for the Chromecast with Google TV; give it a 25 Mbps connection and a 4K TV and the sharper feeds hold up. For basketball, frame rate matters as much as resolution. If it doesn't suit you, the 7-day money-back guarantee applies, and because plans are prepaid there's nothing to cancel later.

The setup, in order

  • Order on WhatsApp from the buy page. Your login details come back in the same chat, usually within a minute.
  • Open Google Play on the Chromecast with Google TV and install TiviMate. If it's missing from the store, sideload it with Downloader after allowing unknown apps under Settings > Apps > Security & restrictions.
  • Select Add user or Add playlist in TiviMate, choose Xtream Codes, and fill in the three fields from your login message: server URL with its port, username, password.
  • Open the Sports group and add ESPN, CBS Sports Network, and SEC Network to favorites.
  • Play one of those channels for a few minutes well before tip-off to confirm the picture is steady.

Chromecast with Google TV settings for basketball

Android TV devices vary, so look for a match-frame-rate option in the display settings or inside the player; TiviMate, for one, has an auto frame rate switch. With it on, fast breaks and quick cuts between camera angles keeps its natural cadence.

When the picture misbehaves

  • Pause other downloads and video calls in the house during the broadcast.
  • Run a speed test on the Chromecast with Google TV. Under 25 Mbps, stick with HD for NCAAB.
  • Restart the player at a break in play; it clears most freezes in under a minute.

NCAAB viewing tips

  • West Coast tip-offs can run past midnight Eastern; catch-up lets you finish the game the next morning.
  • Fast breaks expose a weak connection first. If the picture smears in transition, drop from 4K to HD.
  • Keep the league channel and the national networks next to each other in favorites.
  • Set the player buffer to a medium value, about 2 to 3 seconds, so short dips do not freeze a possession.
