    Good: Affordable, cheap and value for money $ 11 (36 - 24 Netflix subscription) doesn't make any difference to your wallet. worth of one movie ticket. Bad: I used other competitive products but I found this one is purely to monopolize the market and fill the homes with Google stuffs and then ride on your privacy. Very limited functionality. Devices are getting hotter when streaming the contents, especially laptops. and device itself getting hotter even it is not in use.

    I really like this Google Chromecast stick! It has really helped us to cut the cable with our cable TV provider. We now watch TV through apps on our phones and tablets that the Chromecast transmits to out TV. I highly recommend!

    Fun and convenient for using your device without straining your eyes every time. I was always a fan of connecting my computer to my tv to watch video, so Chromecast was a natural addition to my home entertainment repertoire. Love it.

    Great as a travel companion watch all your shows online with this bad boy. Tip: Get a USB chord and you can power this Chromecast from a USB outlet from the TV or Audio receiver. No need to drag the AC chord around when traveling.

    This is a technological breakthrough, it works so perfectly on my HTC and Samsung smartphones. I can't believe the price is so low for this little gadget, but you can cast YouTube, Flixster, Netflix, Rhapsody and so on. It turns your smartphone into a remote control, thus saving your battery power for more important things. The interface with Google Chrome on my Windows laptop allows you to cast from the Web pages also. This is an entertainment must-have, its heralding the future of TV watching. Cable companies must be very,very scared!

    After using this for about 3 weeks, I actually picked up a second one for the basement TV as well. The quality is outstanding, and now I don't have to plug a laptop in each time I want to stream something. Also, by plugging directly into my home theatre, I can stream music playlists from YouTube without even turning on the TV. It also works with the app for my Synology NAS to steam my own digital music without turning on a computer. I wish it would go into sleep mode, it seems to stay on all day regardless if the TV is on. I can't wait for there to be an approved Apple app for mirroring my iPhone to the Chromecast, which currently works somewhat well with Android products.

    The price was right and it's cheaper than a smart TV. This is an excellent device for Tivo users and easy to install. I can view most of my premium channels on the television via apps. I enjoy watching my programs on a larger screen.

    For the price and what I wanted it to do (mainly just watch Netflix in bed, but would love for WWE Network to be supported) it is an awesome little device. Super easy to set up and configure and within minutes I was catching up on my "stories". The only issue I have had with it is that it will occasionally stop communicating with my tablet and not allow me to pause, stop, etc. I have to physically unplug it from the TV to stop so I can reload it and start fresh.

    This was a good buy after all. The setup was easy. You have to download couple of different apps on the computer. But once you do that, it is easy. I can control the chromecast thru my phone such as Youtube, Netflix. Main use is for my daughter who can see youtube videos and I don't have to turn on my computer. However chromecast doesn't allow mkv files to play with sound so I had to find alternative to convert which takes time but still it was very well worth it. Google needs to upgrade the firmware on chrome browser to allow more video playbacks.

    Works great, struggles a bit on its 720p high bit rate, even when I have high speed internet (55MBS). Only wish that I could have it stream 1080p on from my chrome browser. Great product.

    the ability to send information from a device to the televisions is impressive. I do however wish that there was a chrome extension to allow for playing of your own DVD or Blu-ray over VPN.

    So far we have really enjoyed the chromecast. It has so much to offer and we have barely scratched the surface of all that it has. My kids love that they can connect their iPods to the Chromecast and watch youtube videos on the TV.
