Hey guys!

I saw a post on here saying how good the Google TV with chromecast was for the price (which it totally is, mine just arrived)

Setup was a bit of a pain.. but got there in the end, I just have one problem:

I want to make it so the remote controls my TV volume, I have got it working using HDMI CEC for turning off the TV, which is nice as I can just use the white remote.

But for volume it does not work sadly

- There is an option to 'set up TV' but VEON brand does not show?

Does anyone know an alternate brand name for VEON TVS I could try?

Akai worked for me.....4K Firestsick into Veon 55". Is the Chromecast with GoogleTV available locally here, or did you Amazon it?

Cheers !

Have you found one that works?

I also have Chromecast with Google TV installed to a Veon TV and find the same problem. Have tried Akai as that other person suggested but that does not work.

Tried a couple of other brands too with no success. Be nice to know who manufactures Veon's which might help.

Cheers.

My Veon (model SRO554k2017-p6) works with the Infiniton TV setting on a ccwgtv. Volume and Power both work, though I only use the ccwgtv on this tv, so have left volume control set to Chromecast.

Thanks for that. Am away for a couple of weeks, and will try that option when I return.

Hi Omen

The Infiniton TV setting in the Chromecast Tv works for my 32 inch Veon. Thank you

Thanks so much! My controls now work as well — but I’ve run into another problem

I recently got a Veon TV with 4K capabilities, and realised that my regular old chromecast doesn’t output 4K content. So I got a chromecast with google TV and plugged it into my Veon TV to set it up.

However, after the initial Google startup logo appearing clearly, it goes black, switching between flashes of mixed signal with green/red lines and a black screen with ‘no signal’. Occasionally it flashes the menu screen of the google TV for a split second but can never get a clear constant signal coming through.
Rebooting it doesn’t change anything either, except for the clear Google startup logo showing up again.

I have tried with a different power supply and different HDMI ports and the same thing happens. When I connected it to my Sony TV, the chromecast was working fine on 1080p.
Then I switched it back to my Veon and the chromecast booted up on 1080p @ 60 Hz and works fine.

It seems that whenever I try switch to 4K output on settings, it doesn’t work and gives no signal again.

Anyone have any ideas??
Maybe there’s a problem with the Veon TV or compatibility?

Thanks :)

I got my google tv of 1-day. They removed the power adapter because it is a US import. I had a 2amp adapter here but couldn't get the google tv to go. I tried another adapter with good amperage and had same problem. So i used the power adapter that came with my ordinary google chrome and the google chrome with tv works perfectly.

Whether this helps or not but maybe worth a try ?
