How to watch

The Chromecast with Google TV decodes 4K, so 4K feeds play at full resolution on a 4K screen. For live events, frame rate matters as much as resolution. There's no contract and no card on file waiting to be charged again: plans are prepaid, with a 7-day refund window.

What you need for Olympics on the Chromecast with Google TV

  • Player: TiviMate (paid)
  • Plan on about 10 Mbps for each HD stream and 25 Mbps for each 4K stream
  • Channels to favorite: NBC, USA Network, and Olympic Channel
  • Plan: from $10.42/month on the 12-month plan, or $24.99 for one month
  • Time: about five minutes, ideally the day before

The setup, in order

  • Pick a plan length, send the order on WhatsApp, and keep the reply open: it holds the server URL, username and password.
  • Search Google Play for TiviMate with the remote or the voice button and install it. Where Play doesn't carry it, Downloader can fetch it from the developer's site once unknown apps are allowed.
  • 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 NBC, USA Network, and Olympic Channel to favorites.
  • Play one of those channels for a few minutes well before the opening session to confirm the picture is steady.

Tips for Olympics day

  • Favorite every channel carrying the event so you can follow it from one list.
  • Use a wired connection for the moments you most want to see live.
  • Sessions that air while you are at work or asleep are what catch-up is for.
  • Event schedules shift, so check the guide on the day rather than a printed schedule.

Picture settings that matter

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 action cut together from several cameras and venues keeps its natural cadence.

Quick fixes mid-game

  • Pause other downloads and video calls in the house during the broadcast.
  • Drop from the 4K to the HD version of the channel; it needs less than half the bandwidth.
  • Run a speed test on the Chromecast with Google TV. Under 25 Mbps, stick with HD for Olympics.
