Great Product

We were promised an extra V6 box for our upstairs television when we signed up to Virgin Media. Not surprisingly, Virgin didn't stick to their promise so I had to think of an alternative way to stream TV upstairs.

This Chromecast has provided the perfect, easy to use and cost effective solution.

It's easy to set up, you just follow the basic instructions which come in the box and then the on-screen instructions and you're good to go.

It's compatible with all the major streaming apps such as iPlayer, YouTube, 4OD, Channel 5 Player etc on both Android and Apple.

I highly recommend this item for those looking for a cheap and easy way to stream from their phone to their TV in perfect HD.

Not good for what I wanted it for,but easy to set up and good less complex connections

It may be that that is to do with my kit, but it did not work well with two music steaming services connected though my mobile to my smart tv and then through to my HiFi.. I had to use an HDMI cable connected to my laptop to get a satisfactory response. Good for simpler connections eg to world wide radio stations or NTathome. . Read full review

Turns a dumb TV into a smart TV

Does what it was advertised to do. My 'smart' Sony TV stopped being smart, because Sony withdrew support for i-players for BBC, ITV, etc. Not good enough Sony. Would have bought another TV brand had I'd known Sony would do this.
But the Google Chromecast solves this problem. The Chromecast appears to just be a simple Dongle Device you plug into a TV's HDMI socket. You can then use a smart phone, PC, tablet, etc to 'cast' what you see onto the TV screen. Job done.

Does what it says on the tin.......I think!

It's OK in that you can watch any prerecorded films, iplayer, youtube etc, but doesn't stream current programmes. May be due to our ultra slow wi-fi (1-2Mb/sec) or our ignorance! Due to the wi-fi we've had instances of pausing/freezing reloading. The product is good, though due to age and limited tech know how wasn't as easy to set up as hoped. We tend to use the supplied remote which works OK. Purchased in lieu of a TV aerial. Read full review

Super addition to my TV viewing.

Having said YES to is it easy to set up, I did have a couple of problems , which were quickly sorted with the help of LUNA, a young lady at google help.
The product itself is excellent, although I'm hogging you tube at the moment, and have still to expand my viewing options, My Pictures are easy and display beautifully.Read full review

Chromecast device does what it says on the box

Instructions not entirely clear and I had to reboot the device a few times to make progress but got there in the end. Works fine now and casting from devices is very easy. Especially useful as my TV doesn't support NOW TV but I can caste from the iPad now.Read full review

Google Chromecast media streamer

This item is well worth having it's avast improvement compared to starring at a small screen for long periods, I also like the idea that i can still use my phone as normal without disturbing what I'm watching on YouTube its as if the large screen I watch it on is not connected, good to have wouldn't be without itRead full review

Great solution

I bought this because my so called smart tv was only ever able to get BBC I-player, YouTube and Netflix! I now use this to get ITV Hub, All Four and My 5 from my I- pad. It was easy to set up and convenient to use with the tablet, also there is no significant battery drain from the tablet. I set it playing and click the tablet screen off. Highly recommended solution.Read full review
