Dish Network App is amazing.
If you have the ViP 722 or ViP 722k HD DuoDVR you can get a Dish Sling Adapter($99). (ViP922 SlingLoaded DVR comes with Sling capabilities out of the box)
I just set mine up on the ViP722k. Am watching both live TV and recorded shows from my DVR over 3g with no problem. Can also use the sling service from any computer with internet.
Without the sling adapter, you can see your guide and set recordings with the app but you can't watch anything.
Highly recommended.
Seriously this is the best thing ever. When/if we get a video out option I will be able to hook it up to my in-dash dvd player and have sat tv in the car.

anyone know how i can stream a movie from my phone to my panasonic GT50 tv
he htc watch requires some 100 dollar htc dongle.
try imediashare. i can use it to play to my xbmc with no probs. well worth the money!!
im thinking about getting one when i go pick up a nexus 7 today. is it just a mirroring device?
It is not a mirroring device. It allows you to stream content from supported services, using your device as a remote control. In other words... if you send a YouTube or Netflix video to it from your handset, the ChromeCast actually connects to YouTube or Netflix and starts streaming.

I probably won't use it then being as I have a ps3 for all of that
If you already have some equivalent of a home theater PC, a Chromecast is a little redundant.
I love mine, though - it basically gives me a HTPC in a tiny, low power device that I can unplug and take with me traveling.
It appears that Google has put some hooks into Android 4.4.2 that may support screen mirroring in the future, though.
Actually it can mirror the chrome browser on the PC or Mac. I will assume HBO go has an app coming and plex is semi supported (will be fully in a month or two I'd guess)

I have one. Its just nice using your phone or tablet to control everything instead of some other ui. Though I got it when it came with 3 months Netflix so it was basically $10.
Sadly it doesn't support a lot of services yet like a full htpc does but it has a lot of potential.

Yes, HBO GO is awesome. So much more content than "On Demand" through cable / satellite providers.

ahhh. I am getting my chromecast in a few weeks, just haven't gotten any apps for it yet. glad HBOgo is supported now!
I have one and barely use it but it is pretty cool, kinda a novelty. Say someone is telling you about something on youtube and you are by your tv and want everyone in the room to see it, just cast it to the tv and there it is.
I have one but I really didn't use it that much because it lacked the ability to cast local data. Now that it can it has much more purpose. Android mirroring is in the works from what I've read which is pretty cool.
I tried to explain a chromecast to someone and said it's similar to a wireless HDMI cable. It's perfect for me since I can take it to work and do training in one big swoop as opposed to having my shift sit down at a computer one at a time and hope they actually do what I told them to do.
I use it almost daily, stream my hbo go, and comcast, hulu and other things to it. There is rumor that it will we getting device mirroring in the near future as someone found some code relating to it in 4.4 kit kat.
I just got one a few days ago, after the Plex update, since I needed it for media center streaming.

I have a Chromecast that I use on the small TV in my bedroom. I like it better than the Roku I used to have in there, and it's more useful (Roku, as far as I know, won't stream Google Music, and I use my TV as my speakers in the bedroom). I recently downloaded Real Cloud, because I think you can cast videos from any of your devices with the app on it - so I want to see if I can install the app on my laptop where I have some movies and cast them to the TV using the Android app.

It works way better than PS3 for streaming services and uses a very small amount of power. PS3 is a waste of energy for netflix and what not.
I haven't found any other way to stream Google Play Music All Access (without plugging in), and it's actually pretty great for that purpose alone. Play/Pause, Prev/Next, and volume control, all wirelessly from the phone.
I actually just picked up a second one since I had a $25 credit at Amazon, and they are selling them for $32 with free 2nd day shipping with Prime. Cost me $7 out the door, and landed on my porch 2 days later.

being a parent, having netflix is awesome. and, since we watch zero adult programming, hulu is awesome too. so i have 4 as it works as a perfect replacement for a PS3/HTPC, etc solution - especially where you can't have one of those devices (or multiple devices).
i just disconnected my htpc from the main TV because support on a few items were starting to get scarce. i have my Cc plugged in now instead. the only drawback is its less convenient to stream media from my local drive. i wish there was an easy solution. Real Cloud makes it sound liek you have to upload the media first.

I just use WiFi Direct on my phone and it 'flick' over a YouTube video and it works great. I guess the Chromecast is for people without a Smart TV?

I think you can stream from any device that has the app installed on it. I'm going to install the app on my computer tonight and see if that's the case, or if I have to upload.
Hello world,
My cousin bought a cheap Samsung tv, where he was told it was with SmartHub. But apparently it wasn't. So instead she wanted a chromecast. She wants to use it to play Disney Jr for his kid and to watch Netflix. The cable companies mobile app doesn't support chromecast. So, how can I make the iPhone cast the screen? I don't have any knowledge in chromecast. I'll root it if needed. Ill do whatever it takes to make this work. It's an iPhone 5.
-André
Every chromecast can't be rooted, only the really early ones with vulnerable bootloaders can
And the chromcast screen cast list is kinda short and I don't think an iPhone will make it since it is an Apple product
Can still cast Netflix and hulu though

Download chromecast app from App Store to cast apps to tv.
Cast screen for iOS is not supported yet.

Hey guys,
I'm looking to buy a Chromecast off of ebay but I'm not sure if this is ok to buy: https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Chrome...HDMI-Media-Video-Streamer-Player/392876990895
There's no Google branding anywhere so it's obviously a knockoff but would it still allow me to mirror my phone screen via Smart View, PC desktop and browser tabs, YouTube, Spotify and Poweramp from their apps just like a legit Google Chromecast would? Would be nice if someone who's bought a similar thing shares some info. I'd like to save as much money as possible as all Google branded ones have delivery fees bigger than the device itself and in the local shops here it's around 40 euro which is still pricey.

Buy once cry once. Don't cheap out on something you really want to use and enjoy. I personally gave up on casting since dex seems to have a cleaner image quality to me with movies.

Yeah but I'd like a way to use my TV wirelessly. DeX needs an HDMI cable. Also if I buy a Chromecast I can use wireless DeX if it comes to my Note9. Guess I'll get the real Google Chromecast as a present for my birthday in 6 months.
I just hope I can cast H265 HEVC mkv video files via VLC. I know the Chromecast 3 doesn't support it but I've read VLC converts it to H264 in real time and plays it via the Chromecast.

I use VLC and it does work with the fjrst gen chromecast but even I notice a quality different and beyond 720p I normally don't. It also could lag etc. I recently unplug my chromecast since it kept freezing playing the same movie it played the night before flawlessly. Just my experience. I have been looking at the nvidia device and wondering if it could handle casting better.
