Want to start streaming so you can ditch the cable networks and take control of your own destiny? Chromecast is a great place to start.
Chromecast is a hardware device developed and manufactured by Google that allows you to wirelessly stream media to your TV.
Instead of using a wired connection, you can use your Chromecast device to stream digital music, video, and pictures over Wi-Fi. For example, if you have a movie on your phone but want to watch it on your TV, you can use Chromecast instead of a cable to connect it to your TV — no wires required.
All Chromecasts have a built-in flat HDMI cable that plugs into an HDMI port on your HD (high-definition) TV. Chromecast devices also have a micro USB port on the other end of the device that powers the device. You can use a free USB port on your TV or the included power supply.
