I looked at the Chromecast, but as others have mentioned, the frequent reports of fragility, along with the DRM-laden aspects deterred me. I've bought the Netgear Push2TV (PTV3000) but haven't received it yet. And then Samsung have their own variant, which I believe is WiDi standards-compliant. Is the compelling thing with the Chromecast just the price, then?
- bane 12y agoIt's a bit fragile. I'll lose connections every once in a while or whatever -- usually just reconnecting to the current thing the chromecast is doing will solve it. But for ~$35 and the unbelievable ecosystem of support it has, it's really hard to beat. I use mine frequently (basically daily) with youtube, plex and podcast addict and pretty often to mirror tabs from chrome and mirror my android device. Most of the time the issues are with my home wifi setup and not with the device. But it's not so complicated a platform that there's lots of fiddling to do. I've tried various other systems to get my media to my tv and bar none, chromecast is the best one.
