you still can cast from netflix direct or browser, works great with smartphones like iphone or androids, you don't need a tablet or laptop at all.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Chromecast is fed by various apps. Netflix has its own cast button. Hulu has its own cast button. Google Chrome has its own also. You should still be able to use the Chromecast with things other than Google Chrome.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Do you have an Android or Apple smartphone? If not, get an Amazon FireTV, Roku, or Nexus Player streamer. The Chromecast can work from a Chrome browser on your computer, but my experience everything but Netflix and Youtube runs a bit choppy.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you are going to use a pc of any kind, you will need the chrome browser. If you have an Android tablet or phone, you can just use that. You have to have a device such as this to control the Chromecast. You can not use your tv remote to do it
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you have a smart phone it's definitely still worth it!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Probably not if you intend to use the Surface as your control device. but if you have any laptop/android phone that supports Chrome, it's still very much worth it. Especially if you have friends over, because they could also easily cast to it too.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can chromecast to cast variety of appls like youtube, hulu etc eventhough you dont have chrome browser. It works flawlessly with supported apps. Visit Google chromecast website for supported apps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi! Unfortunately, though it may be confusing, Surface RT is not running full version of Windows 8, it's running a sort of Windows Mobile version. So it's more like a big Windows Phone, not quite a laptop. Considering that: Chromecast is only compatible with Android and iOS, meaning that you won't be able to control a Chromecast with your Surface. If you happen to also have an Android (Galaxy, Nexus, HTC, LG) or an iPhone, then it's very much ideal for you to purchase the Chromecast. If you have any questions, @JerryZaz on twitter.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I think the main complaint about this product, is that you cannot chromecast the browser off tablets and phones, but the chromecast is meant more for casting video stream. We would have to wait for google to extend chrome browsing casting to smaller devices.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can try and download the Chromecast App before purchasing it and see if the Cast Icon appears in your apps.
