The New Google Chromecast with Google TV is less than two months old and already Google is selling it at its lowest discount since it launched. If you delayed buying the new HD device when it launched on September 23rd, now is your chance to get it for as low as US$19.99 / CA$29.99 at all major retailers and online including the official Google Store and on Amazon.*

If you've already bought and installed your new Google Chromecast with Google TV and looking for some great apps to put on it, check out a few of my favorites:
PLEX - Perhaps the Go-To app to stream dozens of live TV channels and thousands of ad-supported movies and TV episodes, make sure this app is front and center in "Your apps". I am a fan of classic/vintage TV and movies and cult cinema, and I've been watching a lot of The Film Detective, Kino Cult and the recently launched Scream! Factory TV, a 24/7 cult horror channel from the makers of Shout! Factory TV. Kino Cult has a standalone Google TV app which is worth checking out if you are a fan, with hundreds of genre movies and TV shows on demand and their live linear channel as well.
CLASSIC RERUNS TV - This recent newcomer within the last couple of years is finding its way to many over-the-air affiliates in the US as well as some of the most popular streaming platforms. On this app you'll find all the great favorite TV reruns of the '50s and '60s that you would expect in such a place, but the Google TV version of the app does not stream their live linear channel. (If you have a Roku, you can find the live channel in their own standalone app on Roku. Full disclosure, we also have the live network streaming on our own live TV app on Roku.) The live stream for Classic Reruns TV is available through Distro TV that you install on your Google Chromecast with Google TV device.
CINEHOUSE - If you are in Canada, you won't be able to get Cinedigm Corps. CINEVERSE service right now, so the next best thing is a free ad-supported app called Cinehouse. It carries many of the popular art-house, cult and classic entertainment linear channels you might expect on other platforms including the Cineverse movie channel, a true crime channel called Crime Hunters, and genre networks like Midnight Pulp. Hundreds of ad-supported movies and TV shows are also available to binge any time.
If none of these apps suit your tastes, you can always scroll over to Apps on your Google TV device and check out any of the hundreds of apps available from app categories such as Entertainment, Lifestyle, Sports and more. -Georges Brunet
