    I love this idea. it makes traditional cable or dish obsolete! you can stream most anything and take it from tv to tv with you. Plug and play design and easy to install.

    I was spending $80 a month for a pretty basic package from Directv. Out of the 200 plus channels offered, I found that I routinely only watched about 5 or 6 of them. I was already subscribing to Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime, and found that I could watch everything I wanted, when I wanted. Due to my work schedule I wasn't watching anything during it's original broadcast time anyway, so the 24 hour delay imposed by Hulu was not a concern. I chose to go with Googles Chromecast based mainly on price. I got it on sale and used my Best Buy rewards points, so ended up spending about $25. Set up could not have been easier. I simply plugged the unit into my TV's HDMI port and an instruction screen automatically popped up on the screen and walked me through the set up process. Connecting to my homes wireless network was a breeze. The only slightly annoying aspect of the whole procedure was setting up my iPhone to act as the remote. Once I downloaded the app I needed everything worked flawlessly. I am now watching all of my favorite programs on a 52" screen instead of a 13" laptop, and saving $80 a month! I am completely happy with this purchase. I would have given it 5 stars if it came with it's own remote control, but then they would probably have to charge more.

    Enjoy watching Netflix using chromecast. Gives u the benefit of not having to use a blu Ray device n enable subtitles. Other apps are cost based like hulu n hbo plus n I haven't used them. Have tossed YouTube videos on tv with it. Very convenient. Would love if they expanded to support more apps n also if single worked without having to b plugged in constantly. Thought it was supposed to charge so we shouldn't have to.

    Set-up is easy as 1-2-3, which is actually what the instructions look like. Just plug in the dongle and power cable, download the app, and follow the app's few steps to set up the device. The iOS app kept crashing for me during set-up, but I also have an android device and it worked flawlessly. Unfortunately support is pretty limited, only Youtube and Netflix on iOS it seems. However for the price it does what it does well.

    I haven't used cable for a long time now since I mostly stream on the internet. The Google Chromecast is a perfect way to bridge the gap between your PC and the television. All the control is through any devices you already own; whether it is your laptop or cellphone. You can "cast" whatever content you want to view right on the TV. If you have a compatible device, you can even cast the entire screen. It's a perfect way to view content on your television without investing a lot of money. You can also power the Chromecast through a USB port on your TV so that it automatically turns on as you turn on your TV.
