Chromecast

The book I read to research this post was Chromecast User Guide by Lisa Thompson which is a very good book that I downloaded for free from kindle. This book is only 25 pages so probably it is only right it is free. It looks at how to set it up and looks at the other options on the market like the roku and apple tv. It also looks at the channel choices both television and radio. It plugs in the back of the television and is powered by either an extender or USB and plugs in the HDMI port of the television. It works with either 720 or 1080 HD. If you have a CEC television you can operate the Google Chromecast with your remote control. Being Google obviously it is compatible with  YouTube and many video providers like Netflix. It works best with Android but does work with other mobile operating systems to a lesser extent. It only costs $35 as compared to the $99 of the Apple TV. Many of the audio and video providers only work in certain countries which tend to be North America & Europe and maybe Australia. Many provide television programmes as well as movies. Many of these providers are starting to finance their own television programmes. You need a tablet or smartphone to set it up. Chromecast tv only has to be set up once ever and then you simply add devices to it. To set it up go to http://google.chromecast.com/setup.
