It was the easiest to use to navigate between everything we use regularly... Netflix and Amazon Prime, some Hulu and a few other channels. I don't like using chromecast for whatever reason. But it's convenient sometimes when we can't get to something easily through Roku. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chromecast-vs-roku#post-1910541 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 09:12:32 +0000 Mrs.KMM 1910541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Chromecast and it is so easy! We haven't had a single issue with it (had it for almost a year now). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chromecast-vs-roku#post-1910345 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 07:31:18 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1910345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two chromecasts and I like them a lot. </p> <p>Pros:<br /> - I can easily stream from my iPhone from my netflix, YouTube and hbo go apps<br /> - my phone controls the chromecasts in my living room &amp; basement, so we don't have multiple remotes<br /> - it's small, no box, easy to install/set up, no remotes sitting around either</p> <p>Cons<br /> - I have an iPhone &amp; there are some wonky glitches. Netflix automatically streams the next episode in a series now, but if I am switches shows/episodes manually I usually have to click the chromecast app first to restart my app then start up Netflix again. It's annoying.<br /> - my husband doesn't have this issue with his samsung. It seems to be iPhone only.<br /> - you can't stream amazon prime from chromecast which is annoying. We watch a lot of prime too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chromecast-vs-roku#post-1910319 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 07:07:58 +0000 Synchronicity 1910319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have been using chromecast for a couple of months now and really like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chromecast-vs-roku#post-1910311 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 06:59:09 +0000 namaste 1910311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love our Chromecast, it streams everything from our computer browsers + apps (Hulu, Netflix, etc.) and it works just fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chromecast-vs-roku#post-1910260 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 01:41:43 +0000 daniellemybelle 1910260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have an Apple TV downstairs and a Chromecast upstairs! I like both.</p> <p>We also got an antenna that was $18 and we get ABC &amp; NBC in crystal clear HD so we can watch some of our shows live if we want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chromecast-vs-roku#post-1910252 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 00:16:12 +0000 birdofafeather 1910252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a roku and it's awesome!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chromecast-vs-roku#post-1910208 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 22:44:36 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1910208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote AmazonTV, you can watch Hulu, Netflix, Prime shows, and lots of other random apps. There is one called PlutoTV that combines Youtuve videos into channels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chromecast-vs-roku#post-1910148 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 21:28:27 +0000 ShootingStar 1910148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Apple tv! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chromecast-vs-roku#post-1910132 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 21:20:58 +0000 owlteach 1910132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTal: Awesome, thanks! I'm thinking that we should probably just pay the $30 difference and go with the 3. I don't want to buy the 2, and be irritated when it is too slow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chromecast-vs-roku#post-1910126 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 21:18:11 +0000 MrsTal 1910126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have both. Originally had a chromecast but had a lot of problems with streaming and speed, plus we had to stream from one of our devices which slowed that device down if we wanted to use it while streaming. Bought a roku 3 right before we canceled cable and love it! No issues and it's been amazing. I can't remember why we went with the 3 over the 2 tho, might of been the faster processor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chromecast-vs-roku#post-1910058 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 20:32:41 +0000 owlteach 1910058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just did it...I canceled our DirecTV membership! </p> <p>So, by Friday I need to decide what we will buy and use. We will be using daily, so speed is important! What can you guys tell me about the difference between Roku 2, 3 and ChromeCast?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
