I think netflix is netflix, same subscription
the region only depends on where you are.

so once you get the 3 months and you in T&T and don't have a VPN / IP Mask then you will get T&T netflix

Sold out online at BestBuy too.. damn

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ i've been trying to buy a Google Nexus 4 and it's always sold out so I expect this to be worse regarding availability

Interesting product. I have a home theatre pc on my tv so it makes no sense to me. But will keep an eye on the support for it.

Content stays on the pc, but controlled from the phone. If my phone has content it would be small, so yea, I guess I can.

SO?

its not the same

You'd have to copy photos and video from your phone to your htpc whereas this and a AppleTV will stream directly.

This is no where near the cost of an htpc either.

I won't mind paying for it. Once I getting a quality stream, and no ads I good.

[RASC]

Am I getting this right:

Streaming-your device can do other things
Mirroring-your device acts as a standard apple tv would.

??? Anyone

[phreak]

Google Chromecast won't come with free netflix anymore..

Still good price though..

[dean_spleen09]

If it would let you stream video from the phone or tablet video player or music from the device it would be cool. The demo just showed them accessing stuff from the Google Music Store YouTube and Netflix

the only supported apps so far are Netflix, YouTube, Google Play and whatever is in your Chrome browser.

u can't stream local media

open media with chrome , hit chromecast button ?

confirmed stream "local media" (stuff already on phone/pc)

I have apple tv and was two minded about getting an iphone over an android phone.

But this just made the android look more attractive.

Nice!

Hopefullythe video players will get a chromecast button as well. If it does work it'll be much better than me having to connect my phone to the PS3 to watch movies on tv or using DLNA through PS3.

This was from someone who already had the means to have media easily put on their tv.
The price IS tempting still though. Hope Apple takes note.

appletv currently does a lot more with alot more content than this device so the $99 vs the $35 is still very much worth it though you'd need an apple device to truly use it to its full potential.

the problem is that someone can't steal a CBS or HBO feed and sell it to you legally. They can perhaps get away with putting it on veetle and selling ads since the service offers a lot of other amateur feeds.

No I haven't. My dad nearly bought an apple TV but then I realised that his iphone 4 wouldn't let him use AirPlay anyway so told him not to waste his time/money as he'd have to buy the appletv AND a 4s/5 to do what he wanted it to.
