    Let see if DSE screws up and lots of people get 2. Essentially $17 each. Can't top that.

  • lakers1222 on 04/09/2014 - 16:47

    Can someone share their favourite apps for streaming local content from android/apple devices to chromecast ?

    • longislandicetea on 04/09/2014 - 16:49

      Android: allcast
      PC/Mac: videostream

      I use Plex for pc works well, and apparently it supports the most formats also free to use via PC but cost for android/iPhone

    Ever since getting amazon fire TV mine doesn't get used. Even though the fire TV is $100, its just so much better for my needs. The difference in speed to stream something like Netflix is like night and day compared to Chromecast or apple TV. Chromecast is great value, but its still lacking in refinement. I suppose one reason google decided to bring out android TV.

    • [Deactivated] on 04/09/2014 - 17:46

      what else does the amazon fire TV do?

  • UFO on 04/09/2014 - 16:54

    Gone:(

  • Saiya on 04/09/2014 - 16:54

    Bugga missed it!

  • EarthMan on 04/09/2014 - 16:57

    Damn missed out

  • Farrba on 04/09/2014 - 16:58

    i have the apple tv which i seldom use, is there anything the apple tv cant do that chromecast can?

    • UFO on 04/09/2014 - 17:14

      Similar beasts mate. Google search for good comparison reviews. Similar specs, but suited to different purposes based on where all your media is and whether you are tied down to iTunes because of other apple devices in the house.

      I prefer chromecast, but a sleek apple remote is nice add on with AppleTV. Then again, chromecast is basically hidden in the back of the tv… No cables, no boxes, very neat install.

      • Nalar on 04/09/2014 - 17:19

        Or try a Roku Streaming stick, about $60 landed from Amazon. Comes with remote and more expanded App support.

          what does the roku do?

        • Nalar on 05/09/2014 - 06:31

          @hardya:
          Streaming platform, all your premium web streaming content as well as plex for your home streaming. Google it, pretty hand, I got mine this week and it's going well.

  • Saul Goodman on 04/09/2014 - 17:30

    Still have not received mine from 4 weeks ago. Dick's customer service is terrible also.

    Ozbargain is turning into advertising for Chromecast … and Eneloops

    • cache on 04/09/2014 - 18:37

      … and CREE torches

        I can honestly say, I have never seen a post for a cree torch, dont know what one is ;-) This was the first time I was going to bite on the chrome cast, but too late.

        • montorola on 04/09/2014 - 19:33

          Don't forget the Woodworm umbrellas lol

  • rokufan on 04/09/2014 - 19:39

    I got a Windows laptop that I connect by HDMI to the TV. Would love to cut the cable and have the laptop sitting on the coffee table and cast to the TV via a Chromecast. I would use for catch-up TV websites with Chrome browser. How smooth does it work, and is resolution diminished?

    • Tm15 on 04/09/2014 - 19:48

      had the same setup. used a laptop for viewing on tv. since i got a chromecast a few weeks ago the laptop hasnt beeen on

      • zealmax on 04/09/2014 - 20:34

        I bought a LG smart TV to watch youtube. Waste of money compared to this $35 device. This does everything 10 times better than the smart tv and much more convenient than having a laptop connected.

        • montorola on 04/09/2014 - 20:52

          Yes, these things have their place.

          But one thing you can't beat a conventional laptop/computer is how fast you can type on a keyboard!!
          I have a smart TV also, and the thing that put me off was using the remote to put in the web url, letter by letter. Even searching google became a pain in the ass.

          $200 HTPC + Logitech wireless kb/mouse = win.

        • rokufan on 04/09/2014 - 23:11

          Agree about wanting a full physical keyboard when surfing. But what about this setup - laptop, casting chromecast to TV? That way you have a full keyboard and the laptop is free to roam elsewhere if needed.

          As long as it works well would be a great solution.

          Cheers for the above replies. I will definitely give one a go next sale - which appear to be quite regular with dickies.

  • adam on 04/09/2014 - 20:57

    I was waiting for this to come on special again as I needed a second one for the other room… but missed it :(

  • silverx on 04/09/2014 - 21:39

    This plus plex is a winner in my book. Turning my 7 years old tv into smart tv the only downside is having to turn on plex media server to trancode most of my movies

  • slikstick on 04/09/2014 - 22:05

    Got this last time for $34, but can't get 5.1 stereo working with Netflix for some reason. :-(

  • McFly on 04/09/2014 - 23:49

    I think I've (just) missed every single deal for these things…

  • McFly on 04/09/2014 - 23:58

    FYI https://www.catchoftheday.com.au/product/belkin-screencast-t… is still available if anyone wants WiDi.

    • SomeGuyOnOzB on 05/09/2014 - 12:47

      Note that, the CotD product only works with Intel Widi devices, is $49.95 before shipping …

      probably better to get a full price Chromecast, for most people, which is also $49 before shipping (or wait for another sale)

      • McFly on 05/09/2014 - 14:27

        No, it's still available at $45.32 delivered. How long for I know not.
