    Nope, just Netfix, YouTube and Google music, and chrome mirroring from laptops, its not like an Android dongle, its not android at all AFAIK...

    Probably why they called it Chrome cast and not android cast.
    AFAIK it is a mix of Android and chrome OS.
    Hopefully it works better than the HTC media link where there was a second delay between picture and sound when using Netflix.

    With something as popular as Chromecast we'd know if that was a problem by now.

    I have this on my tracking page:
    Unfortunately, your parcel was misdirected when sent from our pickup depot and is not out for delivery with the local courier

    :(

    If anyone can get this working with a upc Thomson router could you let me know how? I keep getting a can't find network message. After googling the problem it seems I'm not the only one to have problems connecting.

    Everything is in the box. Lovely, can't wait to have a mess about when I get home.

    It'll actually be worth subscribing to Netflix now :)

    I got a Nexus 7 last Christmas and took the 1 month subscription and sorted it out as US Netflix.

    Should I pick up my sub now does anyone know if US Netflix continues?

    Ok got it set up.

    I couldn't set it up by phone, my phone had trouble finding the CC (S4). Set up worked on the laptop though and since i can send thing from the laptop/phone to it.

    Its a nice piece of kit, i've been using my Playstation for youtube/netflix. Its very similar.

    Though how do you try it off ?? Do you just leave it on constantly

    No, seems the only way to get it working is by buying a second router and setting the upc Thomson to modem only mode. I may just sell mine off, haven't decided yet. Got it working by using the fox-fi app on my phone as a router but that only works off my 3g connection so that's obviously not good enough for HD etc.

    Mine arrived today, it took some time to connect to my wifi but got it eventually. Has anyone figured out how to watch US Netflix yet?

    I think they are screening Netflix content as US stuff is coming up as an error over chromecast but plays fine on tablet, pc, phone and Google TV box.

    Will look into getting round thus.

    Don't think it turns off. European Union would have a huge issue with that...

    I have mine powered off the TV itself, so when the TV is off the CC is off too.
