Google Chromecast
4 1/2 Star Rating | Very Good
Price: $35.00
Available Models
The Chromecast has everything you need to stream all of your entertainment from any TV with an HDMI port. Stream all your favorite movie and TV show apps like Netflix, Hulu, Crackle and HBO NOW, sports apps like MLB TV and ESPN, music streaming apps from Spotify, Google Music, Pandora to iHeartRadio, gaming apps from Angry Birds, Just Dance Now to Driver speedboat and thousands more.
With that said, Chromecast does work a little different that your regular streaming media players like the Roku, Amazon Fire TV and the Fire TV Stick. What makes Chromecast different is that it does not have a built in menu screen that you can download, choose and view apps from.
Everything is controlled by your apple or android mobile device or using a Chrome web browser which acts as the remote to your TV. Using the Google Cast app on your mobile device or the Chrome browser on your PC or tablet, you have access to hundreds of Cast enabled apps in the Google Cast App store.
Once you've installed and setup the Chromecast to your TV, you can download the Google Cast app and download apps from the store or just go directly to your favorite app that's already installed on your mobile device or pc, hit the CAST button, and your content automatically appears on your TV screen.

Your Mobile Device is your Remote
With Chromecast, there's nothing new to learn as you use the same familiar mobile apps you already know and love. Just tap the Cast button in your favorite mobile app to start watching on TV.
Although your phone doesn’t have dedicated buttons, each mobile app supports simple controls for pause/play, skip next, volume and more. And on Android, we have easy access to controls on the lock screen and notifications.
Never lose your remote again.
Gaming
Turn your TV screen into a game board, racetrack, dance floor or trivia quiz. With Chromecast, everyone can play games using their phone as their personal controller, while watching the action live on the big screen. For a Full List of Gaming Apps, see Chromecast Gaming Apps.
No Interruptions while you are Browsing
Friends and family can share in the fun using their own phones to control the TV-- cast videos, join in a game, or add a YouTube video to the queue and the whole time you can keep browsing while their watching.
With Chromecast, you can search for the next thing to watch without disrupting what’s playing on the TV. With other devices, search happens on the TV screen which means you can’t do two things at once.
Voice-enabled.
