Google Chromecast with Google TV HD - Snow

Now with the built in apps an the remote you no longer have to fumble around to cast shows from your phone. Setup was easy, though as always logging in to all your streaming services can be a chore, depending on what mechanisms they support. The big ones, Netflix, Disney etc all have quick login methods now using QR codes etc. - but the locals, TVNZ, TV3, Neon etc. you have to laboriously type your password in on the onscreen keyboard. None of that is the devices fault though so 5/5 from me! One note is you MUST use the provided power block, not your TV's built in USB - which I guess is just a required watts issue.

I have a veon tv in my rental and it was quite a pain to set up because there isn’t a Veon option to sync with the chromecast. I had to google different tv brands to use, I ended up using the Infiniton TV setting and it works for me, but it was a pain.

Also you need to connect the chromecast to both the tv and a power source.

I love it! Highly recommend getting one, especially if you don’t have a smart tv.

I bought a ChromeCast HD for an old but perfectly functional Panasonic TV. The set-up procedure was lengthy but not at all mysterious. The TV needs a free HDMI port, and you need to be near a wall outlet for the ChromeCast power supply; the device doesn't get its power from the TV. You should also ensure that the TV is placed somewhere with good wifi reception, as wifi is the only communication method supported.

Out of the box, ChromeCast gives you inbuilt apps for the most popular streaming services (Netflix, Yahoo, Amazon Prime etc).

Out of the box, ChromeCast gives you inbuilt apps for the most popular streaming services (Netflix, Yahoo, Amazon Prime etc). If you want anything else, such as access to free-to-air TV channels, you'll need to download and install one or more extra Android apps. The Google documentation is a bit thin, so you're better off searching for online tutorials and videos.

Two things I really like about ChromeCast: (1) You can use the Google Home app on an Android phone as a remote control device, allowing you to type in text from a phone keyboard instead of hunting and pecking onscreen with the supplied remote. (2) You can stream to ChromeCast directly from phones and computers using many Google products such as the Chrome browser and Android phone screen, and also from VLC Player. Video quality can be dodgy, however, especially when casting from an underpowered device.

Those who already have a television that supports Android TV or similar smart features won't find much use for a ChromeCast device, but for me this inexpensive attachment has brought new life to an old TV.

Good Christmas gift. Great value for money Good Christmas gift. Great value for money

It does almost everything I need it to. Spotify, Youtube and netflix all work seamlessly and its great. One downside is being unable to screen mirror from my iPhone. Otherwise good.

Great purchase for our team meeting room to cast Great purchase for our team meeting room to cast

This does not support ThreeNow. One of the other feedback items said it does but I cannot find it at all. It seems to have a fairly limited amount of apps available built in - no Google Play for downloading other apps. You could cast to it from another device but the idea of this thing is to not have to need another device. Will be sending it back and trying something else. This does not support ThreeNow.

Works so much better than the old Chromecasts. Replaced a Mi-Stick with this and it has been fantastic, remote even works the TV (enough). Very impressed, would buy again.
