The Chromecast stick does what he is, is quickly installed (just plug in HDMI and USB port and configure my app, done!) And easy to operate. The range of apps that support the stick, also continues to grow; I currently va Watch Ever, Youtube, Google+, Zattoo and library Cast in use. There are apps like AllCast or Local Quantcast, making it possible to stream content from your phone / tablet to the TV, but that is at high-resolution images / videos unreasonable - the stick is so not cheaper AppleTV & Co. - Spare.
