Google’s latest Chromecast with Google TV update is yet another tease

[phillynews215]

• Google’s got a new STTL.240812.006.N1 update hitting the Chromecast with Google TV.
• The new update weighs in much smaller than last month’s and keeps us on the September security patch.
• We’re still waiting for Android 14 and the Google TV Streamer’s Home panel.

Google has been spending the last few weeks slinging out major platform updates left and right. Not only have we seen the release of Android 15 QPR2 Beta 1, but Android 16 DP1 has landed just ages before anyone was expecting. With all that high-profile momentum, it’s easy to overlook some of the company’s less flashy updates, but today we’re slowing down for a second and taking the time to check out the latest software release hitting Chromecast devices.

Chromecast with Google TV units are now getting access to firmware STTL.240812.006.N1. The 59MB download comes in quite a bit smaller than last month’s 83MB release, and stays on the same September patch level. In fact, there’s really not a lot happening here at all, with the release notes not disclosing any changes more specific than “other bug fixes and performance improvements.”
