I
love this thing! There are a few things that you have to be aware of
before purchasing it. You need to have a tv with an open HDMI port and
either a usb port to power it or an electrical outlet to plug in the
power adapter. A wireless internet connection. You can use a desktop PC
that is using Windows Vista or higher, (it will not work with Windows
XP), tablet or smartphone to configure it.
Once we got it connected to the tv and on the wifi network my 8yr old
started to cast directly from her ipod with no added setup, it just
worked. On our android tablets and kindle fire HD we had to download the
free Chromecast app and it worked without a hitch. From my windows pc I
can cast webpages to the tv once I installed the Chromecast extension
in my Chrome browser which was nice because from the tablet there are
only a limited number of apps that can cast to it, such as Netflix, HBO
GO, Pandora and some others. I think for the price that I paid for this
it's a really cool gadget!

The
device itself is great and easy to set up. You do have to supply power
through a micro USB cable which can either be plugged into the wall or a
USB port on your TV if it has one. There is one aspect that I did not
see in the bit of research I did before I bought this. You cannot stream
any old web content from a smartphone to this device. A smartphone can
only use the dedicated apps to send content to the device. A PC will
allow you to display anything that you see in a Chrome browser but a
smartphone will not. The reason is that the video encoding requirements
to stream content to this device are pretty intensive and most phones
cannot handle it while a PC can. The dedicated apps that you can use
from a smartphone are not really streaming the content to the device
rather, it is merely directing the content from the web straight to the
device. There are many apps available (Netflix, Hulu, etc.) but you
can't just fire up the Chrome browser on your phone and stream that
content. Overall, I still say it is a great device and from what I found
to be way better than the Push2TV device that I was using previously as
that was over the air signal and not digital through my router like
this device.

Simple, Neat, Easy way to stream media to a TV
Pros:
1. Relatively inexpensive ($35) compared to other options (Roku, Apple TV,...)
2. Easy to setup (takes only 5 min)
3. Can control using multiple devices (smartphone, PC, tablet) on multiple platforms (iOS, Android, Windows)
4. Can stream anything on the Chrome browser (duplicating what's on screen)
5. Can cue up multiple play items
6. Doesn't consume battery on the smartphone (initiate streaming and move on to do other things or even put the phone in suspension mode
7. 3rd party apps will continue to make this device more useful and will eventually allow streaming of anything on the PC or phone to the TV
8. Tiny footprint that can easily hide away in the back of TV (if the TV has a USB port, then the device can be powered by a USB cable without a power supply connected to the wall outlet)
9. Can connect it to an audio device/receiver and stream Spotify or Pandora continuously without turning on the TV- this is a very good feature!
10. No additional service fee or subscription fee other than services that you choose to pay for (such as Netflix or Google Play)
Cons:
1. Doesn't support any local storage media directly (you can connect the storage media to your PC/laptop or smartphone and stream from there if necessary, though)
2. No remote controller (you can use your PC/smartphone as a remote, though)
3. ... can't think of any more cons!
