    Chrome cast is great for watching movies or YouTube videos on your TV without having to use cables and adapters to connect your computer or phone to the TV set. It is not compatible with all websites and players, like iTunes, but works smoothly with Netflix for example. Setting up is easy and I haven't had any problems with it so far.

    Great little gadget for viewing web content such as Youtube on your TV. Plug and play with setup prompts on your TV when both your computer or phone and the Chromecast are connected to your WiFi. Wish it had a USB input for viewing your personal media content from a memory stck, etc.

    This product sets up easily and quickly. You are ready to stream within minutes of opening the box. Price isn't horrible, but wouldn't mind it being $5-$10 less, since in some cases you have to pay for product that is streaming too. Overall, a great product. I would recommend this.

    Got it for Christmas, it was very easy to set up. functions very well. Was able to interface with my HP Tablet running Windows 8.1, I was also able to download the APP on my iPhone and iPad and they performed great as well. I didn't like some of the limitations (Certain apps, certain services) but All in All a pretty good Buy for $35.

    Too taxing on the wifi for it to cast something like dish that's streaming to a laptop in the first place, but for showing basic screen it's fine. The resolution is not good on a large tv since it's basically stretching what's showing on a smaller screen. I haven't used any dongles to make use of OTT with this, so can't weigh in on that.

    This product saved me over $100! I get poor wireless reception in my basement and I have considered purchasing another wireless router or a repeater! When this product was released my problem was solved for $35! the best part about it is you can use it on any TV and you can stream from your phone or laptop! definitely worth the money!

    Had problems connecting this and playing things off it. I think it is my internet though because a couple of my friends have their own and they haven't had any problems. I really should have taken it to their place and tried it there but instead I returned it. I would say if you don't have really good internet service not to get one.
