Great product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm really impressed with this device. It turned my old TV into a Smart TV. I have a three-year-old MacBook and Most Website streamed well through Chrome. Hulu.com streams audio and video perfectly. Websites with problems: 1) Slingbox doesn't stream the audio. 2) Netflix.com uses Silverlight and that doesn't work at all with Chrome on a Macintosh. (Note: Netflix works perfectly with the iPad) I'm really satisfied with this device.

great way to leverage premium cable stations
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have a flat in town and cable services at our other locations. Chromecast is a good way to cheaply leverage premium and other shows available via on-demand where we only have an Internet connection. The ability to cast a generic browser window seems to be getting better but it's not yet as good as, say, hbogo, which has the chromecast icon built in. Sometimes the stream becomes disconnected from the site you are casting from, but basically it works well. I like the ability to mute your PC but have full audio from the TV.

Great value for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best $35 I ever spent. The product isn't perfect, but its hard to complain considering all it does at the price they charge for it. Recommend one for every tv in the house.

Love it!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price, it can't be beat. It is so easy to use; just open a streaming app on your iPhone or iPad and hit the new Chromecast button on your screen. I was going to buy a Roku or Apple TV, but this is 1/3 the price! Granted, you do have to have a device to stream from, so it is not a stand-alone box like the Roku or Apple TV. That being said, it works great with my iPad, iPhone, and Windows 8 PC, and I really love it!!

Easy to use and works great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installation was easy and we stream video from either the PC or our Android phone. Such a luxury to watch video on the bigger TV screen when our whole family is together.

Easy way to stream to the TV.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a way to stream Netflix to my TV and was considering an Apple TV. When I found the Chromecast for 1/3 the price, I had to give it a try. It's so small, just plugs into the HDMI on the TV and a power supply. I'm technology useful, but not an expert at all, and the setup was a snap. My wife was skeptical, but once she saw how it worked, we got another for the TV in the BR. You can also steam YouTube easily.

Works like a charm
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best idea ever! Easy to install and to use, minimal streaming issue but most likely due to ISP not this product - I love it.

It's APPsolutely Fantastic!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I picked up the Chromecast at Best Buy on Black Friday for about $23. The price was the lowest I had ever seen. I got it home, plugged it into my new 50 inch television, installed the app on my iPhone, and followed the easy directions. Netflix, of course, looks terrific, but I was shocked by how good the HD videos on YouTube look. Many of them look Blu-Ray quality. There are plenty of apps, but no Amazon Prime. I hope that becomes available soon. For the money, this little device can't be beat.

Totally worth $35
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was thinking about getting a roku to stream netflix to my bedroom tv and then I found out about the chromecast. I'm so glad I waited because it was almost half the price with very similar functionality. I use my chromecast to stream HBO Go, Netflix, Pandora, and I can stream downloaded videos from my tablet. I can't wait for the mirroring capability to be released. I liked my chromecast so much that I bought a second one.
