If Chromecast had an interface (which it might on the latest ones), that would be better.
I am liking the FireTV stick. It's small like the Chromecast, but has a really snappy UI and all the streaming apps that I need.
- gman83 6y agoI really disagree personally. I already have a really snappy interface... my phone. I use it to control YouTube, Plex, etc. Then I just send it to my TV via Chromecast. If I had to navigate using some other remote that I would inevitable lose, it would me more annoying to me.
- starik36 6y agoI've always found establishing Chromecast connection to be finicky. Particularly from the YouTube app on the iPhone (my most used scenario). Just the other day I tried to chromecast it the FireTV stick and built-in chromecast in the Samsung TV. Failed on both. Eventually had to reboot the phone and the TV to get it to comply. Another thing I hate while chromecasting YouTube. You can't change the video speed. If you start the video from TV's YouTube app, you can. But not if you are chromecasting.
