The Chromecast with Google TV is a good little 4K media box. It is perfect for streaming videos from SVOD packages. The content aggregation system is convincing and avoids having to juggle between different services to find ideas for films or series. Google’s new interface convinces, even if it is not yet perfect. Above all, the box offers a rather pleasant experience with fairly fluid navigation. With its low price, Google’s little pebble hits the mark, even if it offers a less complete overall service than an Nvidia Shield TV.

This third generation of Apple TV 4K benefits from a technical update to perfect its formula. A little smaller, without a fan and even more energy efficient, Apple’s little box is still just as pleasant to use with a neat, complete and ultra-fluid interface. If we can quibble about the absence of lighting of the remote control buttons, it is clear that we have here a high-end multimedia box which will undoubtedly appeal to streaming enthusiasts, whether they are immersed in the universe from Apple or not.
