You could watch different shows, but you would need to use a different device to cast to each TV. Use the phone for one, and tablet for the other. Or cast from the Chrome browser using a computer on one of them.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hypothetically yes, although, you will not be able to watch 2 or more Netflix out hulu shows simultaneously because the app only allows you to cast to one screen (or one device - chromecast). But the hypothetical is that if you were casting from hulu to one device and Netflix to another device, using the same phone/tablet. As long as each service points to a separately named cjromecast, this can be done. (Pause.... trying this right now on 2 of my chromecasts)... and the answer is... YES. As long as the apps are independently run, each casting to a separate chromecast device (and provided your broadband can handle the multiple video streams) no problem and worked perfectly on 3 devices simultaneously. The evil thing I thought about is that this could be an effective control over lights out for a kid, when it is decided you want to stop a stream and take it out of their control, from a central device. Hope that helps
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, each one would be capable of displaying different content
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, you need one phone/tablet/computer per TV/Chromecast to watch different shows on different TVs. You can control multiple Chromecast through a phone, just need to select which one to control at a time.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That is correct. You can cast different or the same media to every chromecast in the house
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you can!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You should be able to. If there are multiple Chromecasts, you can choose which tab casts to which device. It will be more intensive on your wifi/control device, but it should work, theoretically.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Nope. You cannot use single phone to cast different shows on each tv. In a way chromecast uses your WIFI network as a base. Even though you have two devices and both are connected under same WIFI, it will stream the same on both the tv's.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, only one tablet/cell phone/PC can connect with each Chrome Cast.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This device would only allow connection to your Wifi network. The limitation on what could be streamed to each TV via your tablet would be a function of that device.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
