How to watch

4K is no problem for the Chromecast with Google TV; give it a 25 Mbps connection and a 4K TV and the sharper feeds hold up. For basketball, frame rate matters as much as resolution. Plans are prepaid and never auto-renew, and you have 7 days to ask for your money back.

NBA on Chromecast with Google TV: The setup, in order

  • Choose a plan on the pricing page and order on WhatsApp; your server URL, username and password arrive in about 60 seconds.
  • Open Google Play on the Chromecast with Google TV and install TiviMate. If it's missing from the store, sideload it with Downloader after allowing unknown apps under Settings > Apps > Security & restrictions.
  • Choose the Xtream Codes login in TiviMate and enter the server URL (including http:// and the port), the username and the password exactly as sent.
  • Open the Sports group and add NBA TV, ESPN, and ABC to favorites.
  • Play one of those channels for a few minutes well before tip-off to confirm the picture is steady.

Picture settings that matter

Android TV devices vary, so look for a match-frame-rate option in the display settings or inside the player; TiviMate, for one, has an auto frame rate switch. With it on, fast breaks and quick cuts between camera angles keeps its natural cadence.

Tips for NBA day

NBA on Chromecast with Google TV: Tips for NBA day

  • Keep the league channel and the national networks next to each other in favorites.
  • Set the player buffer to a medium value, about 2 to 3 seconds, so short dips do not freeze a possession.
  • West Coast tip-offs can run past midnight Eastern; catch-up lets you finish the game the next morning.
  • Fast breaks expose a weak connection first. If the picture smears in transition, drop from 4K to HD.

When the picture misbehaves
