Anyone have the Google chromecast? We currently stream Netflix from our Wii but have decided to put that in the playroom. So now I am looking for alternatives. I know you can stream Netflix from the chromecast, but how about other sources like HBO or tv stations ? Thoughts?

@lavender: My DH got this for my MIL for Christmas. They are streaming netflix through the TV in their living room (it plugs right in). I can ask him about other apps. So far it's great!
We stream through the XBOX. My mom has a ROKU, another option to look into.

@lavender: here's a comparison of chromecast, roku and apple tv http://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/google-chromecast-versus-roku-3-versus-apple-tv/
looks like chromecast is meant for anything you could view on the web .... so netflix, hulu, maybe amazon prime? you tube, etc.

We have the Chromecast in our basement. Since we don't watch tv down there often, I was sick of paying for a cable box every month. It's crazy easy to set up. We've really liked it so far for HBO and netflix. Haven't tried anything else yet.

We got it for Xmas and love it. It's nice being able to browse right from your phone!
