    Fairly easy to set up. Loaded Google Chrome browser to get connection from PC via our in-home WiFi. First couple of times to connect were thought-provoking; with practice, it is easy. Really enjoying NetFlix even though we don't own a game console.

    I have a dumb TV and have been missing shows like Dexter, House of Cards, etc. I took advantage of Black Friday deals to buy my Chromecast. I have been loving it ever since! So much so, that I bought more to give as presents. Thanks Best Buy!

    Seems to buffer quite a bit no matter what type of wireless router I have or what type of device I use with it. I like the idea but there are other devices that work better with little interruptions. Not sure if it is the design of the device or not.

    It'd have been great if it worked with my iPad.

    This would have been a great product if it would have worked with my iPad; I have the original version. When I returned it, the customer service rep tried to talk me into keeping it even though it did not work with the intended device. I am sure he was trying to be helpful by suggesting that I use it with my iPhone but when I continued to explain that I wanted to cast with my iPad he should have backed off. Check your iOS version of your devices PRIOR to purchase. Sadly, you must also have a network connection to use this device -- would have been cooler it it worked via Bluetooth.

    Best tool to get rid of your cable! My cable bill was $140. I paid $35 each for two Chromecasts, one for the living room and one for the bedroom. I subscribe to Hulu Plus and Netflix for a total of $17 per month. We don't miss out on anything!

    The chromecast is all most no Brainerd for anyone who travels or has a TV that is not hooked into the internet. For 3 bucks you turn any TV into a smart tv. My only regret is that Amazon is still being stingy on releasing their prime video app.
