Pretty good, but limited options
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the 30 Dollar price and I love how easy it was to install and set up. But about all you can use it for us to watch Netflix and YouTube, unless you were set up on my laptop or home computer (not a tablet) and then you can see whatever is on Google Chrome. It does not have near the video sources as AppleTV

Ease of Use is Awesome

Good streaming option
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picked this up at Best Buy a couple of weeks ago and it was an easy set up. Once connected to my wifi network I downloaded app and fired it up on my iPhone. For the price you can not go wrong although everything needs to be started on your device (phone, tablet or computer) then streamed to your TV by the chrome cast. One neat thing is casting of your computer on your TV...

Good Product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Especially good with YouTube and other "simple" streaming video, although sports channels and movies play well, too. Simple set up and easy to use.

Very happy with this
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have two TVs with Chromecast dongles. They work just as they should, and we use them all the time. It's pretty simple to set up. It seems to me that everybody should use this.

Awesome product, not as easy setup as you think
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this product as a mother's day gift. I thought it to be a perfect gift for my mom as she usually has her computer teetering on the TV stand connected using an HDMI cable to use her Netflix. It really was the perfect gift, however, my mom is NOT tech savvy at all. Instructions indicate that you can plug it in and be ready to go. It took a week and many phone calls with my mom to get her to figure out how to connect the phone with the chromecast. In the end, we did get it working and now she loves it, but it was quite a bit of headache in the beginning.

Great for watching missed shows
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased Chromecast to be able to watch shows on my bedroom tv, which does not have a full cable box, only a basic adaptor. It works great. I control it using my phone. I thought it ran from the phone, but it doesn't, the phone is used to pick the show or movie, then when you hit the cast icon, the Chromecast runs the show. You only need your phone to pause or stop it. It does not use up your battery, as the only time the phone stays connected, is if you are casting something directly from the phone, such as pictures, video on the phone or web content (this is when your phone battery is used). I am going to try using it when I am on vacation.

With the right router, this baby is a gem ...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With the right router, this baby is a gem. We had some problems with an old router and losing connection frequently, but the new router solved that. We cast multiple times a day now.

Truly unique piece of machinery
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The chromecast is so cool. You can stream stuff from your phone or laptop directly to your TV with it. It's great for showing your friends YouTube videos or steaming Netflix or Hulu.

Great way to watch online shows
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the Chromecast - it was very easy to set up, and within 5 minutes I was connected to Netflix and using it to watch shows from my laptop. I like that it is so small, and is hidden behind the TV. The only downside is the lack of a remote. I didn't really like controlling FF and Rewind from my tablet in Netflix app. And it is lacking in access to some online access. Ultimately, I decided to return it and plan to get a Roku instead.
