Thank you!! I read the first article about it and was worried Google killed support for the cast protocol. But it's literally a rebrand for a new product. Yes, they are discontinuing the 4k basic Chromecast but I guess it didn't sell enough? I don't expect any company to indefinitely offer a product because I seem to like it personally.

Not that I want to particularly defend Google, they do have track record of killing useful products. But this is not that.
