I like to stream YouTube videos from my iPad on this Dongle. It does need to be connected to a power source

I have no problems with my Google Chromecast to date, this is a good product.

Very easy to use as long as it has a good connection. Works with all devices.

The Chromecast is a good product and a good value. I was toying w/ returning it, but it's so easy to use I'm considering getting another one. No DLNA support yet is the biggest turn off (a BIG disappointment for me), but I suspect it'll be here in a few months.

We are very happy with our chromecast. Works great with every device!

I am very happy with product. Got checkout from bestbuy within 5 min. Setup fast and working as expected.

have an android and chrome throw anything at it... perfect for espn and sports.

Now i can cast whatever i play on my laptop and watch the same on my new 49" TV

Great item. Allows you to cast movies, pictures anything on your tablet to be cast to television. Love it.

We are ditching the satellite since we only watch a few programs. The Chromecast is easy to setup and easy to use. I got i primarily for my wife so she can stream HGTV shows and her other programs that we can't get over he air. Its easy enough that she can use it and she is admittedly not a technical person.

I bought this product not too long ago thinking it would be much cheaper than purchasing a Smart tv. I was wrong for some reason my wi fi started to act up with the signal going in and out. I have Time Warner so I was really surprised my signal wasn't responding to this item. Might work for some but didn't for me

It is very useful to share any data or video on big screen through chrome cast.

Hubby made out like a bandit for Christmas, he loves this tech gadget and I am enjoying it as much as he is

Love this product. Was a little hard to get setup but now it works great. automatically changes the tv to the right hdmi when we start casting from any device. There are a few things that I wish I could cast but google has been expanding on this and I am sure eventually almost everything will be compatible.

Great little thing to help you eliminate wires in your room. Works great with compatible stuff, ..which at this point is Netflix, Youtube, and Google Music/Movies. 1080p, perfect. The 'beta' feature of 'casting' chrome browser tabs works decently. I have a year-old laptop. Our wireless router/modem isn't the very new and on a different floor, and internet speed is OK. 480p is pretty smooth, 720p is jumpy. I've heard others have had better experiences with this. The other beta feature of casting the entire screen also works decently (no audio though). There'a also a 'cast audio only' option. Anyway, you won't be disappointed if you buy it for the currently compatible stuff. I would imagine in the next year the list of compatible apps will expand and the tab/desktop casting may be improved. *also I originally tried this on a no-name (Hannspree) computer monitor and it did not work with it.

Good product when you're without a smart tv. Lots of channels and old movies.

Bought one for myself and then one to give as a gift because I love it so much!

excellent for viewing youtube, movies, and mirror your computer on to your tv.

I could not wait for this item to come back into stock. This item is impossible to find, whether online or in store, but I'm not really sure why. Of course, it's really just a matter of plugging the HDMI device in to an available port on your television. But, you have to download the Google Chromecast app before it will broadcast (or Chromecast) your desired program. Here's the problem; the app is still in BETA and crashes (on average) every 20 mins or so. You must find your network again, reconnect, wait for the show to stop buffering to find where you left off before the app crashed, then watch until it happens again in a few moments. We have tried the app on our Galaxy SIII phones, our Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet, and a Toshiba laptop running Windows 7. Once you get used to this frustration, you begin to realize that unlike Apple TV or Roku, there are no apps that come preloaded with this device because it's nothing more than a receiver of what you broadcast to it. If you have the misconception that you will have endless apps, wrong. You have access to whatever you can play from your device. But if you know anything about Android devices, Internet browsers are not always recognized by your device, thus making watching some shows impossible. I would recommend that if you have Apple TV or Roku, stay with it

This is a fantastic little device. It could use more apps, but it already has a lot of good apps. The only thing I wish it would have is support for the chrome browser on smartphones. Overall, a neat device in a small package, and you gotta love the price.
