Chromecast with Google TV remote acting up? It isn’t just you

• Several users report that their Chromecast with Google TV streamers are losing their connections to remote controls.
• It’s unclear what’s causing the problem.
• If your Chromecast remote stops working, you can still control the streamer using the Google Home app.

Chromecast with Google TV users are dealing with a pretty annoying issue. According to several reports that have recently cropped up on Reddit, some Chromecast units are repeatedly losing their connection to paired remote controls, forcing users to find alternative ways of controlling their streaming.

As flagged by 9to5Google, a handful of users on the Chromecast subreddit have posted over the past day or so to say that their remotes have stopped working. The remotes themselves seem to still work, but the dongles they’re paired to are failing to maintain a connection.
