Great lightweight device for streaming
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Chromecast is a great device for getting Netflix / Youtube on a TV. That said there are a few flaws; if more then one device is used to control the Chromecast then it just breaks - ideally it would allow multiple devices to queue up Youtube videos etc, instead it kills whatever is streaming as soon as a new device tries to connect. The mirroring also has a delay compared to the actual screen and is laggy. Finally in Netflix when using the iOS app the connection is often broken to the device during watching, so if I want to pause the video it can take up to 2+ min to respond, or requires a force restart of the app. Overall a great device, just one that needs more polish on the software side. Best Buy was great to order this device from; they had stock when others were sold out and provided fast and free delivery - no problems!

Good First Try...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good option for the cord-cutter, although not as good as a Roku. One good thing about it is that it can be completely hidden behind your TV if you have a USB port, but the Roku stick is cheaper for this purpose. Also, it casts Chrome pages from your phone/tablet/PC to your TV, great for watching shows online that are otherwise unavailable (ex. CBS). My major gripe is that it doesn't cache Wifi credentials. For example: you use it at home but one day use it at a friend's house. When you come home, you have to reconfigure the connection to your home network. I'd also like to not need a third-party app to cast photos from my iPhone, but I understand. Plus, the external power requirement (USB or AC adapter) adds a cable to your setup. I personally would spend the extra $15 for a Roku stick.

Best $35.00 I ever spent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this to watch movies from Netflix and clips from You Tube from my iPad, and even though I have the Apple TV adapter, this requires no special set up or plugging in each time, you just click on the symbol once you have chosen a movie and it comes on. It is great! And so inexpensive!
