Google Chromecast with Google TV has a big problem that Google has to Quickly Fix

The Chromecast with Google TV – a new all-singing, all-dancing dongle from Google that brings an overhauled interface with access to games, streaming services, catch-up telly, and more – launched earlier this month. And despite the huge improvements over its predecessor, Google Chromecast, there is still one glaring omission: Chromecast with Google TV doesn’t support multiple profiles

Why does that matter? Well, the HDMI dongle, which plugs into the back of your telly to bring a host of smart features and apps, keeps tabs on your viewing habits to make recommendations. So, if you’ve been bingeing on soaps on ITV Hub and BBC iPlayer, chances are, Google will suggest that you tackle House And Away, or Desperate Housewives. Likewise, if you’ve been enjoying playing games like Crossy Road on the big screen, then Google TV will make some new suggestions with similar gameplay. The only issue is when an entire household is sharing the same Chromecast – with no profiles, everyone’s habits get bundled together.

Given that Google TV, which has a prominent For You tab at the top of the user interface and is being touted as “entertainment you love, with a little help from Google,” by the Californian company, it seems a little weird that you’ll have to wade through everyone else’s recommendations before you get to a new show or movie that Google thinks you’d like. Worst of all, none of these suggestions will be labelled because the Chromecast with Google TV doesn’t realise that multiple people are using the same dongle, so looking through the For You tab, it’ll be unclear whether the algorithm thinks you’d enjoy The Haunting Of Hill House on Netflix – or whether that show is only being recommended because of something another family member binged last week.

😊 Wow, this sounds awesome.
❓ I have some little questions:
1. Can I connect my BT headphones to this Cromecast with Google TV?
1.1 If yes. Is it possible to connect 2 or more BT headphones to hear the audio through them at the same time? (Like on laptops, ...)
2. Is there an app to use Philips Hue-Sync like it's possible on the Android smartphone/tablet with e.g. EssentialHue?
3. Where can I see which Android apps are supported by it? Or are all Android apps (.apk) supported which I have on my smartphone?
4. How good can it be controlled by the Google Assistant from the Google Home? Can it start itself and the TV?
