In our house we have a now tv box in every room with a TV.
in the living room we have
- a now tv
- Apple TV gen3 :(
- wd live box
Now I have seen the chrome cast and I'm thinking do I need one?
if we go away I take one of our wd live boxes with a usb hdd loaded with films and TV.
Would I be wasting my money?
looking at the amazon fire tv seems more like the Apple TV but for amazon prime.
Great bit of kit, no brainer at the price, I have 2. .
I also have two and think they are great. But if you have a streaming device with each of your TV's already, I'm not sure I see the point in getting one.
But I must admit, I don't really know what a Now TV or WD Live box box does in comparison.
The only way a Chromecast would be good for going away is if you were maybe subbed to Plex and left your server on at home the whole time you were away.
Chromecast won't do anything the streaming devices you already have don't do.
Ok so both sides have confused me even more now lol
What's the best price and where can I buy it?

Got one last week for 24.99 with season 1 of Gotham from wuaki.tv . found on hukd
The streaming from iMac or Nexus 7 to either of my TVs is way more convenient than NowTV of which I also have 2. . . . . .
Bought one a couple of weeks back.
For streaming from my Nexus 5 its great, even though what you can push to it is pretty limited at the moment.
Pretty sure it will get better over time tho'
We are all Apple fanboys in our house we all have iPads and iPhones.
Oldest has a laptop but wants a MacBook Pro.
The younger two have windows laptops and are happy with them as they don't like Mac OS.
I am a windows user too and don't think I could use a Mac.

I think the OS is irrelevant.

Can show box be streamed through the chromecast yet?

Yes, lots of tutorials on youtube
I have 3, mainly used for streaming showbox. GF loves it.. extra points for me :)
A friend has just bought one, and is having trouble getting it to cast at all.
Basically she has a galaxy s3 mini and an ipad.
The chromecast is setup properly, but she can't get showbox to stream, Netflix or YouTube to work.
She can get photos from her phones gallery to display.
I tried it with my note 3 and showbox worked.
So far she has tried toastercast, all cast, localcast, and bubble upnp.
Anyone able to help?

Apart from streaming showbox and netflix youtube that's all it basically dose .. worth it for me to stream showbox but if that whent it's pretty much useless
Can't you just use the cast screen option in the Chromecast app for screen mirroring? Works for me on a nexus 5.
