    Yes.

    in the past it was possible to get android things like ezcast to spoof chromecasts - since the recent updates this is no longer possible.

    I got a chromecast since life's too short to go faffing about with no-name android clones , especially when the price difference is so little

    chromecast doesn't do everything, but it just works


    There are lots of other things out there like fire stick / roku / now tv box
    which is best depends on what you use and what online services you subscribe to

    Where is the cheapest place to pick up a Chromecast now?

    Will it play Showbox?

    Can anyone tell me if it is possible to cast the HTC "Music" app to a TV (just for the visuals) whilst playing the music via a Bluetooth speaker?
