Hi, I use this for both my Android and PC but from the PC today, it’s VERY slowwww. Any reason for that?

I thought it might work with Firefox, browser I use most, but seems not possible. I have Fox to Phone add-on, so I get them to my phone. Maybe using the Google TV app I can get them there to the TV somehow. Thanks for the post!

@Gerald Stegman Yes, simply install the “Google TV Remote” app for Android on your tablet or phone. When you want to share a web page, click the Share option and select Google TV Remote to send the website/URL/video to the Google TV.

Will it work from a Google Tablet or phone to Google TV?

@Luiz, yes that is an annoying limitation that I’ve seen firsthand. My only suggestion would be to update your Chrome to TV settings to launch links manually instead of automatically. Then when you use the Chrome to Phone extension, the person watching TV can approve/cancel the launch of the link.

Is there anyway to prevent loading the url on both phone and tv. I have the same Google account on my android phone and on my logitech revue and it’s very annoying to use my chrome to phone extension to push url to my cellphone and disturb who is watching tv at home.

@Clinton Gallagher I’ll shoot you an email

@Chris are you kidding? Install the “Google TV Remote” app for Android. Once you have that you can “Share” web pages and all sorts of other stuff with your Google TV!

Great tip! I bought the Sony 46 inch GTV for my study and liked it so much I bought the GTV box for the living room. Love it but the box can be a bit, um, clunky. This is a great feature for sending websites right to the TV. Now if there was just a way to send them from my Android phone to the TV…?

Wesley,

I hope you’re reviewing your comments. I can’t disclose to the public yet but since you imply you own a Google TV I would like to ask you to load and test a specific type of URL for me.

If what I am developing works as I presume and expect I will grant you free use of a software service I am developing.

– thanks
