Casting from my android phone to Chromecast is perfect, however when I cast to my Google Nest Hub the picture only fills about 75% of the screen, leaving broad black borders along the right hand side and bottom of the screen. Can anyone explain this and offer a solution? Thanks.

Hi Ian
Your Google Hub is not a Now TV supported device, check out this URL:

It is unlikely you will get any help from Now TV but maybe another forum user can help you. However, you have to understand, and accept, that Now TV will eventually zap any unsupported feature that is on their streaming devices.

@Anonymous User there is already a thread running but as of yet no solution. To be honest, I don't think there is one.

As I understand it, you are simply mirroring your phone's screen so will not get the picture any bigger - the information sent by the phone literally says "my screen is this size" and that's what the nest has to display. As an example, here's my TV with my phone mirrored/cast. No amount of changing settings on the phone or TV changes the size of the image. I'm not even able to change the orientation.

Hi Saint
Silly question time, do you think that there is gathering support, among forum members, to have Google Home Hub added to Now TV's list of supported devices?

I didn't know that, I presume then it would take a major over haul to adapt the Hub to accept any kind of apps.
Interesting.
