  • Google is pushing out a new update to the 4K and HD Chromecast with Google TV.
  • The software brings the latest Android security patch to the streaming dongles.
  • Chromecast users will have to wait a little longer for the home panel upgrade.

Google is updating the Chromecast with Google TV yet again. Even though the Google TV Streamer is the new kid on the block, the company isn’t halting software releases for the beloved Android TV dongle. The latest update for both the 4K and HD Chromecasts with Google TV comes almost a month after the previous update, which applied the July Android security patch to the system.
