Plug in your chromecast. Cast to your TV. Or use your ROKU.
Yes. But in my opinion butter. Only 30 or 35 bucks.
How useful is your Chromecast without a computer/tablet/smartphone?
A Roku provides all its functionality without any computer/tablet/smartphone.
A Chromecast can be more useful in a few cases. Like if a friend drops over and wants to cast a video on his phone onto your TV. A Roku won't do that. Or you can cast from your computer straight on to Chromecast, like the vid you posted on this thread. Can you name any other Chromecast advantages over a Roku? Pete could still watch your video by just using his Roku remote to find the video at YouTube and play it directly without using a computer/tablet/smartphone.
The big sell here is the included Tivo lifetime schedule subscription. It also incorporates YouTube, Hulu, Amazon Video and Netflix. You can buy extension streamer boxes for your bedrooms or around the house starting around $90.
Even if you don't happen to need one right now, that is a strong deal for an HD DVR with Tivo subscription. Pretty ideal for cordcutters who still want OTA HDTV. Some users are saying that upgrading it from 500GB to 2TB or 3TB is as easy as any HD drive swap.
I'd say it's a better box/service than a ChannelMaster (unless you already have a CM and are happy with it).
