    Works great from computer and phone but sadly can not use to watch Dish Anywhere. 3 apps is not enough. Needs to open up google play store.

    Easy way to add streaming video and music to your TV. Easy to setup. Love that Plex is available on Chromecast. The 90 day free trial for Google Music is a great bonus.

    This device, for what it can do and is capable of doing, is a tremendous bargain. The streaming is seamless and the quality is excellent.

    Easy to install, just follow the directions, and be on the same network. MUST DO OVER WIFI. Don't try to use your cellular data. Casting is easy, just press the button.

    This solution should provide all of the streaming to TV that anyone might want. Google just needs to keep the development moving forward.

    requires more finagling than I imagined to get it to recognize our network and still need to figure out how to configure to work with amazon video. Not sure I'm a believer...

    Purchased with the understanding that I would be able to "cast" anything from my iPad (per sales rep) I was planning to "cast" pictures of our granddaughter to our new 60" Sharp T.V., the attempt, using the iPad, was unsuccessful. So far I've used it twice to "cast" Netflix movies from the iPad to the T.V. I transmitted pictures from my desktop computer with minimal success. Would like to see more detailed user applications -"how to" instructions. Not planning on returning it, but don't know if I would recommend it to others.

    This product is quite flaky. The connection is very iffy and quite inconvenient as you need a computer or a tablet to watch content.
