“Can I stream from a smart tv to another tv with the chromecast plugged into it? I have a smart tv and would like to stream a movie or tv show to another tv in another room that I would hook the Chromecast into. Would the Chromecast work this way? We have cable and think it would work as long as I left the smart tv on while I played the dvr cable program and it was going through the tv, just like as if I was stream a dvd from a blue ray in another room via wifi? Would this work?”

Yes
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I think it is not possible, because you will need to install a ChromeCast app on the smart TV and most of them do not allow this.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. It is a receiver not a transmitter.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Unlikely, but it depends on your smart TV. Chromecast mostly streams directly from the internet and from laptops, desktops, or smart phones. It needs something to transmit the stream over the network. Can your DVR player transmit streaming video locally?
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That is not what the Chromecast does. It is basically a simple Android device that connects to the internet via your Wi-Fi that you can control with your phone or computer. You may consider a Slingbox for what you are wanting to do.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.no. there are a few reason why this won't work. the simplest is your tv isn't a sending device like a smart phone, tablet, or computer. You might be able to if you had linux running on your tv. An alternative is to buy a card that lets you attach your cable to your computer and use the computer to stream to the chromecast on the other tv.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't think it will work. Chromecast supports only limited OS, limited devices and has limited apps. I don't think Smart TV falls onto that category. https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/3006709?hl=en
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes will work
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not that I am aware of
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Theoretically yes. Only if your TV supports casting because you have to download cast app and app like netflix, to cast from phone or tablet and to be able to cast from laptop you need to use chrome browser and install add on app plus go through neflix, to be able to cast from laptop. So if TV has the casting app then possible but if you just watch a movie on 1tv through cable box and want to cast to tv2 then no because your not playing an app. Hope this somewhat helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
