That is some news we all await desperately.


Rumor has it that Stadia will be on Android TV soon, but that's it. Just rumors so far and nothing detailed.

I think it is working already. Here is a link where they are talking about that it officially doesn’t work but that it does. I don’t know anything about these things. I didnt even know what a Chromecast was a month ago and Android TV a few days ago, but it sounds interesting.

Hey Ronald,

Stadia works perfectly fine when sideloaded. I tried that out with my Shield TV Pro.


It just is not officially supported yet.

Not totally perfectly. For first sight seems yes, but not perfect and we can clearly see why is not official yet.

I use it continuously from the start and love it but:

  • The layout is simply not optimized for TV-s yet. There are soft glitches and we cannot easily navigate through the whole library (store, own, etc.).
  • Also for me (at least in last December-January as just now I not have Pro subscription just some already bought games on Stadia), multichannel audio also did not worked. I just got 2.0/stereo, nothing more, with Pro sub. also, while GeForce NOW give us multichannel LPCM out, and the device itself of course could handle this feature-set on exactly such way or as DD/DDP/DTS passthrough.

So the available Android app works fine, but not with it's full potential. No multichannel audio and the navigation is really far from the optimal. I would rather call it: 'barely just works'.

But what it already give, that is problem-less, this is why I also use it for months now.

Same. Ccwgtv stadia as of March 29, looks like it's 4k, no HDR and no 5.1.

With ccu, I get 4k hdr, but no 5.1 via TV

But with soundbar hdmi in, I get 5.1 but no 4k hdr.

Really hoping the ccwgtv update fixes this.

For now at least, no, I doubt it will even come in the first half of the year, as it's almost over now.
