Remote control for Chromecast

bananabread — Wed, 04 May 2022 03:42:41 GMT

Hi! Can anyone confirm if this Google remote is compatible with the Chromecast we received when subscribing to Virgin Plus TV? Or is it for use with another model?

I'm also wondering if the Virgin Plus TV app is compatible with the Amazon Fire TV Stick? I looked up the Roku stick and it does not work with Virgin Plus, so I'm doing more research before making a purchase.

Thanks!

Hey there @bananabread,

Welcome to the Community and great question.

As per the Google remote article you have provided, the remote requires Chromecast with Google TV combo. The Chromecast that we provide is the original version, however to be safe we would suggest to reach out to Google directly to confirm.

Yes, our awesome Virgin Plus TV is compatible with the Amazon Fire TV Stick, to learn more check our support article titled PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS.

In case this info can help anyone else, I did reach out to Google to confirm and yes, the remote is only compatible with the Google TV Chromecast, not the third gen Chromecast.
