    I bought this to stream NHL Gamecenter, and have found it mystifyingly difficult to work consistently. Sometimes the link works instantly, and sometimes not at all (I spent 20 minutes tryouts to get it to hook up last night, and finally went to my other TV with an Apple TV to watch my game). Maddening!!!

    This product is great for slinging what you are watching on your phone to your TV. I have noticed at times the screen will go black, but the sound will keep playing. I have had to unplug and plug the device back into the HDMI slot to fix the issue. Other than that I have not noticed any issues.

    I bought this version of Google Chromecast to replace the older one. As expected, could not go wrong with it. The only reason it does not get 5 stars is because there is no remote unit to control it and no built-in support for ethernet connection. However the 5 ghz support in this version is a boon!

    It works as intended and I have no complaints. Only thing I wished it did was being able to plug headphones in the device it's streaming from and get audio from that and not the tv. So you can watch tv without bothering anyone sleeping.

    I use this in my conference room for guests to stream presentations and I couldn’t be happier. There are other options for wireless computer streaming that is far more expensive but this works just a good if not better.

    So I got this for my inlaws to watch TFC since we were getting rid of cable, and while they were initially hesitant, they are now in love with it. It comes with all the perks of cable TFC, without the high cost..

    I have one LG smartv that already has the Netflix and Youtube, but if you want to user other services by app as ABC, FOX, TBS, etc it's a great complement even for smartvs that does not has native app for these other channels.

    Disappointed

    The only reason I don't like this product is because it doesn't have a remote. The downloaded apps require too much space on my phone, which prevents me from using it as a remote and I cannot cast. This would be an excellent product, if Google made a version with a remote, like its' competition Roku.

    I bought this as a gift last year, but it seems like the content I'm able to stream has become less and less. The app has been updated many times and it seems that every time it updates, you are able to stream less of what you want and they try to sell you more content. It used to be perfect.

    As mentioned I purchased my second chrome cast for my daughters TV, it frees up my TV to watch my shows and I was able to move my PlayStation back out to the living room because she had been using it to watch Netflix, Hulu, etc.

    I bought this for our living room. We are avid Netflix watchers and this makes it extremely easy for us to watch together. I read reviews about connection issues prior to purchasing and am happy to say we haven't had any issues.

    Has a better connection than the 1st gen and awesome feature that it turns tv on for you and choose the hdmi port automatically. Didn't give 5 stars though because if I'm not mistaken the images/pics that you mirror from your phone aren't displayed in 1080p. Other than that no complaints.

    What can I say that hasn't been said. Well this is a great inexpensive device and best of all it represents tremendous value for the money. If you don't have a smart TV this is the way to go, because it will make your TV smarter!

    I have loved my experience with the Chromecast thus far. I have 2 in my home and it is a great way to cut the cord and still watch what you want, and record, for much cheaper than a cable package would cost me.

    Chromecast works well, when it does work. Unfortunately, sometimes it loses connection to your wifi, and needs to be completely reset. This is likely because my tv is in a corner, somewhat far from my Wifi router, and chromecast's position on the back of the TV doesn't help the situation.
