    What's the source? Internet, plex, over your network?

    How long is a piece of string?

    • USB??

      but it has a UBB-C port right?

        The usb port is for power.

        It's easy enough to stream netflix and the like if you have good enough internet.

        You can set something up like plex on a computer or server to stream to a tv. I've got plex set up on my pc and it streams to my friends' devices without too many issues.

    I don't know how close it is from the Google Tv, but might be worth a look at:

    At 5 min 30, they plug in USB storage, but use an adapter for power and USB. I don't remember if they talk about HEVC X265 10bit though.

    • thanks, so you need a USB-C hub

  • So how many Chromecast versions are there?
    Officeworks has one for $50+

    Chromecast with Google TV is the latest?

    • Yes google TV version is the latest. Retails for around $100 and comes with a remote.

      This is a pretty good deal.

    • The $55 one is FHD streaming only. google tv is 4k (makes the cc ultra obselete)

  • Thanks All

    If you need a USB-C hub $50 then adding the $150 for this Chromecast makes sense

    BUT if you are on Windows and dont need this hub, stumping up an extra $100 for the Nvidia Shield is better option for the Gaming Multimedia TV center

    Are there better options for 10bit HVEC X265 VIDEO playback?? Think someone said the Mi Box $50-$75
