**The Kaavo Control Center: A Game-Changer for Media Enthusiasts**

As I sat down to test the Kaavo Control Center, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and trepidation. What would this device, touted as a game-changer in the world of media consumption, bring to the table? Would it be able to simplify my existing setup and provide a seamless viewing experience, or would it prove to be another overhyped gadget?

My journey began with the core value proposition of the Kaavo Control Center. I was intrigued by the idea that this device could somehow manage multiple streaming services and platforms in one place. To put its abilities to the test, I turned on an episode of "The Men in the High Castle" and brought it up on Amazon Prime. But what if I wanted to watch a show available on multiple services? The Kaavo Control Center's ability to search by episode was a definite plus, as I couldn't do that with my current Google Home setup.

As I continued to explore the features of the Kaavo Control Center, one aspect stood out in particular: its ability to simplify my media consumption experience. In my household, deciding what to watch is often just as much of a challenge as actually watching it. The control center's curated lists, created by editors and tastemakers alike, were like having a personal movie butler at my beck and call. I could either keep these lists private or share them with the community, becoming an influencer of sorts. This feature alone has the potential to revolutionize the way we consume media.

But what really sets the Kaavo Control Center apart is its hardware component: the little box that makes it all work. Dubbed the "HD HDMI 2.0 hub," this device can support four connected devices at once, and comes with features like HDR passthrough and Dolby Atmos. It's a sweet spot for most users, as previous Kaavo products had more I/O but were also significantly more expensive.

The setup process itself was one of the areas where the creators of the Kaavo Control Center seemed to have spent a lot of time, and it paid off. The device recognized all of my connected devices and made them compatible with the included remote, rendering my existing accessories unnecessary. But what if I lost this remote? Fear not, for the control center supports integration from both Amazon Echo and Google Home, allowing me to seamlessly switch between voice assistants.

**The Benefits of Having a Lost Remote**

One of the biggest advantages of the Kaavo Control Center is its ability to mitigate the frustration of losing a remote. In today's world, where voice assistants are becoming increasingly popular, it's not uncommon for us to forget or misplace our remotes. But with the Kaavo Control Center, I can rest assured that my device will still be able to function, even if I lose the remote. The control center also has a feature that allows me to ask Google to find my remote, complete with a beeping sound effect.

**The Verdict**

In conclusion, the Kaavo Control Center is a game-changer for media enthusiasts. With its ability to simplify streaming services and platforms, create curated lists, and integrate seamlessly with voice assistants, it's an essential tool for anyone looking to elevate their media consumption experience. The hardware component, while not revolutionary, provides a solid foundation for most users.

The setup process was intuitive and user-friendly, making it easy to get started right away. But what really sets the Kaavo Control Center apart is its ability to simplify my existing setup and provide a seamless viewing experience. Whether I'm watching an episode of "Friends" or browsing through curated lists, the Kaavo Control Center has got me covered.

**Where to Get It**

The Kaavo Control Center is available for Americans starting October 1st from Best Buy, Amazon, and the Kaavo website. As of now, there is no ETA for other regions, but I'm hopeful that it will expand its reach soon.

**The Future of Media Consumption**

As I sat down to test the Kaavo Control Center, I couldn't help but wonder what the future holds for media consumption. With devices like this one becoming increasingly popular, it's clear that the way we consume media is changing. But with the Kaavo Control Center leading the charge, I'm excited to see where this technology takes us.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso i got completely dismantled the other day because i thought that even though there's so many ways to watch tv these days from hulo to hbo now to like soon there's going to be a disney one for kids and even though most of these are about 10 bucks a month i still figured that most people would probably only really use like one or two of them netflix and youtube prime video and show time or plex and maybe some kind of thing that's useful for watching sports but then i found out that there are a lot of people out there who use way more than that like even our cameraman dave who pays for netflix amazon prime crave and youtube premium who does that and those are just apps these days even the hardware is starting to get original series like apple tv's carpool karaoke now the problem is that as these services get more unique and non-overlapping content it starts to get hard to remember not only which service has what shows but even just to find the content that you want to watch well enter the sponsor of today's showcase kaavo the kaavo control center is one device that can manage all of your content and one extra bonus is that you cannot lose the remote they're intrigued i can tell allow me to demonstrate the core value proposition of the kaavo control center watch the men in the high castle and boom it brings it up you can see in the fine print there that it's prompting us to watch on amazon prime but that show is an amazon original series so what about a show that's available on multiple services watch friends season 4 episode 7 don't critique my taste now first of all being able to search episode by episode is pretty awesome because you can't do that yet with your google home so that's a bonus and if i click on it it actually gives me the option of watching on any one of my three installed platforms here boop neat right now a lot of you are probably thinking by this point uh yeah i don't really have any trouble remembering you know which media service my various content is on but to me the big selling point here is the wife and kids factor so it's a hundred bucks up front and then two dollars a month for the service but it makes it much less likely that you'll have to run over and open a show for someone when you're in the middle of making dinner or whatever now of course when you have so much content at your fingertips targeted searching isn't your only problem you also have to decide what to watch in the first place which in my house is definitely like a key part of movie night like there's like half of it is figuring out what movie to watch and the other half is actually watching half of the movie because then it's time to put the kids together anyway that's neither here no there um and that's why kaavo has this dashboard of curated lists that are made by editors tastemakers and other kaavo users kind of like how you can share playlists on spotify except you can make your list out of any combination of tv shows movies live tv it doesn't matter where the content comes from or what it is and then you can either keep your lists private or you can share them with the community and be like an influencer or something now at the core of all this functionality is that little box you know what let's bring the box over here wonderful there we go this little box which is basically an hdmi 2.0 hub meaning 4k at 60 hertz it's got hdr passthrough and support for dolby atmos and it can support four connected devices at once now kaavo had an original product before this one that had more io but was also quite a bit more expensive and what they found was this was kind of the sweet spot in terms of what most people want connected to their tv so guys leave a comment below let us know how many devices you have connected to your tv actually i'd love to know what they are too just some interesting stuff for my own bathroom reading now setup is one of the areas that in my opinion they seem to have spent a lot of time on because it's really easy and by the time you're done the control center will have recognized all of your connected devices and made them compatible with the included remote so you don't need all of these anymore since the kaavo remote can control your game console and even your sound bar as long as it connects via hdmi or you can connect the kaavo to your tv via hdmi and then connect the tv to your soundbar or avr via rca or an optical cable okay so then this remote is very powerful and important what happens if you lose it well if you're one of those people who spends their evenings talking to an amazon echo or a google home then you might not even notice since the control center supports integration from both voice assistants so you can do things like okay g-o-o-g-l-e sorry i'm not going to do that and activate all your guys stuff okay google raise the volume or aliexa switch to roku or whatever the case may be and it even has a function where you can ask google to find your remote it'll beep and stuff or i mean if you're a luddite like me and i don't actually have a google home then you can press this button and it'll also do that so thanks for
