Yes. If your TV supports HDMI CEC (properly), and Chromecast is powered, it can turn your TV on and switch to it to the proper input.
It's a convenient feature, though Chromecast can't turn the TV back off yet.

So if it supports HDMI CEC why doesn't the Xbox One or a Blue Ray player do it why they are turned on?

They don't implement that function. It is up to the manufacturer to do so. There are requests all over the internet regarding xbones lack of that specific function.

Actually the Xbox one can turn your TV on and off just Google it.

It can turn on the TV also by using the ac power adapter and setting the TV to the corresponding HDMI output of the chromecast.

PS4 does, Xbox One is already the biggest failure since Virtual Boy so no surprise there

Actually NORCALkID sparked my interest in googling about the Xbox One and its abilities. Needless to say I have my Xbox One now turning on and off my TV and my receiver. It can also do the volume on the TV, but I put my Xbox sound through my receiver. TV just can't match the receivers 1200watts.

HDMI or something on the nexus one?

Hi,
I want to know if there is a way that I can see my nexus one on the TV. Or if not that, atleast show videos like from YouTube. I can only play audio.
Please help me. My TV has no USB port, but I have a USB thingy connected to my TV through HDMI.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Remote control your Nexus from your PC, and connect your PC to the TV.
But then why would you need Nexus...
I'm afraid it's not possible... the only thing you could do is this.
afaik, the only device through which you can do something like that is desire HD, since it features a mini-HDMI port.
You can't connect it the conventional way, since there's no HDMI port...but you could try through the USB cables
Btw, the Desire HD does not have a HDMI port, but the Evo 4G does.

There is no way to do HDMI mirroring without HDMI support built into the phones hardware, and unfortunately, the N1 lacks any ability to output video to anywhere other than the display on the phone.
What behelit was talking about is using a DLNA server on your device, which will allow you to have your music, videos, and pictures available for people to view over your local network with any DLNA compatible device. All while being wireless. Many newer Samsung and Sony TVs support this, along with a lot of their BluRay players (including other manufacturers) along with the PS3 and the XBox 360. Essentially it works like a dvd player where you will have menus and can pause and rewind and all that fun stuff.
I believe the usb host thread has examples of people using an external monitor, but I don't think the usb output is HDMI...
The USB host thread has people using external USB2HDMI adapter, which gets the output sent for it by the device driver in the OS.
No way to do anything like it without modifying the OS to have USB host capability to begin with. Or building a special external USB host and drivers.

You could try and find a N1 Desktop Dock on eBay and use the mini-HDMI adaptor on that.

Not quite...
With all the due respect to your expertise please note:
The mobostick is a fundamentally different device in that it allows complete mobility and functionality. Simply put, you put it in your pocket and can turn ANY USB equipped playback device (anywhere - at your friend's place, in your car or at a boardroom without carrying your TV on your back from home), to a client to your Android smartphone or tablet. No DLNA devices dependencies on full compatibility...
Additionally, you do not need a router either. All you do is turn on your Access Point on your smartphone or Tablet and you have instant connection in the absence of a wifi router....
Also it is not restricted to just media files. It has simplified sharing which allows you to copy wirelessly files from your device and also beam ANY document to a playback device (presentations, spreadsheets etc...).
As you can see, there is no similarities and no restrictions - therefore there are no comparisons... Apples - Oranges or better, Apple - Android....

Can you walk into a friend's place who does not have a Wifi router, , or your car, turn on your Access Point on your device, and playback anything you want in a heterogeneous environment?
In contrast, you plug the mobostick to any USB equipped playback device and share ALL the files you wish from your phone or tablet, anywhere.....

Hi tech - especially Gen1 devices - have a certain cost to bring to market. Having said that though, when you think that sometimes we shell-out $30 and $40 for a set of hi-end cables for connectivity, it seems inexpensive to spend an additional $20 bucks on a mobostick and have all the wireless connectivity we want, anywhere, and without cables to trip over... Of course, we all have our own budgetary restrictions and it is all a matter of convenience and application.
On another note, you seem to be very well informed as to what is out there that is worth noting...

You have a router in your car?
Guys... you are all smurfs
Mobistick is a super gadget.. you dont know what are you talking about.
You can stream WITHOUT a router or wifi hot spot or anything. It is just connecting your android device without cables to your media player or any capable device that have a USB host and if this device can plays 1080p then you can stream 1080p without the phone to render or decode anything. You can play your game or make calls the same time while someone wathcing a 1080p movie from the storage of your phone.
omg.. you are all dummys

You're right, I didn't read properly, my apologies.
The app I was referring to was actually below which includes media streaming:

What kind of quality are you guys getting with Chromecast? I was considering buying one so that I don't need to keep taking videos from my phone to my laptop to play on the TV, but I'm a little hesitant with devices like this because of a very, very bad experience with Apple TV.
I've been using AllCast with my Roku3 and it's awesome. I'm assuming it is the same concept. I'll have to check out Avia.
This is basically the whole reason I bought a Chromecast was for when I travel, I can just plug in the Chromecast and send movies to the in-room TV along with Netflix and such. I'm tired of watching movies and shows that I pay for on a 7" screen when there is a 42" TV just 10' away. Glad that I can finally start using it now that development is picking up.
All I need is:
Netflix
Hulu
Play videos off my mobile

As long as you stay within the Chromecast's limits and your network's limits, looks good. My TV says Chromecast is feeding it 1080p.
Played Taken 2 via HBO GO and it looked great.

Well, then, if it plays HBO Go that well, I wouldn't imagine it'll have any issues with Netflix or a video on the device itself.

On-device is subject to Chromecast's format restrictions.
Remember that HBO GO, YouTube, Netflix, etc already have and serve their content in Chromecast-compatible format.

Well it may not be quite as easy as all that depending on the Hotel and how they have their network AUTH set up.
Many set up AP Isolation so two devices on the network can't talk to each other....
In some cases it will require Certificate Auth (such as going to a web browser first) which is not going to be very conducive to connecting the Chromecast.
Miracast makes a direct connection but that might preclude you from connecting to the Hotel AP for content on the Web...
Just a forewarning...
