how many gb does it take to stream a movie null

You can say that a movie playing in HD will take about 1MB per min of video. Rough estimate but it keeps you in the black.

Depends on the quality of the movie but any where from 1 to 4 gb for 720p and full 1080 with HD quality sound 5 or more gb .. quality is determined by how good your WiFi is .

well it really depends on the video format so unless you know the format and the how lone the video is you cant really know, if the video is downloaded on a computer you should be fine because the video would transfer thought WiFi and should not use any data.

It depends on whether the movie is in HD and whether the audio is encoded in Dolby or stereo. Typically, if you can show a movie or video in your Chrome browser on your laptop, you should be able to stream the movie to your TV through Chromecast. Once you click on the Chromecast icon in the Chrome browser, the movie or video stream is sent directly to the Chromecast device, bypassing your laptop.

That depends on size of movie file, length of video, and also type of mobile file (MPG, AVI, etc). Average 720p-1080p 1-2 hour movies range 300MB-1.5GB on tablets.

it varies on the length and quality!

There is no minimum or maximum more of a better quality factor. There isn't a specific amount it's just low gb will have bad quality and high gb will have high quality.

Depends on the movie. An HD movie can be between 2 to 8 GB. A lower resolution could be 1 to 3 GB. You should check the quality of the movie first. Lower resolution works better on a slow network.

None! Need good broadband or cable internet service though. Recently switched to Apple TV, so much more available and you have mirroring if you have other recent Apple products!

It depends mostly on the quality that your able to stream the movie at. It could be roughly 2 GB/ Hour of streaming or more if your streaming in HD quality
