Internet streaming media box

[CR Haeger]

I purchased/installed Chromecast on what was formerly my basement "smart" TV. It works as advertised, supporting Hulu+, Netflix, Youtube, Pandora, Songza and a few other apps.

My teenage daughters figured out quickly how to cast from their handheld devices and this lets them and their freinds play "VJ" which is nice.

I do sometimes use the Google Cast app from a Chrome browser. Its nice in that it will cast whatever Chrome tab you have open to the TV. They also have a BETA that allows the Desktop/other programs to be screencast from your PC.

For $35 its been useful this year.

Best,
Carl
