Try restarting your Chromecast. Unplug it completely from the wall and the TV and plug it back in. It will reset it. You won't have to set it up again. Otherwise, try resetting your WiFi router by doing thee same thing. It freezes because there's a glitch between the WiFi and the Chromecast.9 years, 4 months ago

The product can be fixed by restoring it to factory settings. In order to reset it, you need to access the Settings menu in the Chromecast app on your PC, Mac, ormobile device, and then select Restore Factory Settings. You
can also restore the factory settings by holding down the Chromecast’s
physical button for 25 seconds.

My original Chromecast was having issues, lost streaming of some apps, no audio, rebooting fixed it. If your TV is not powering your Chromecast just reboot. I reboot my Chromecast every 2 weeks, just takes a few minutes, disconnect power supply, wait minute and restart, have not had any issues.by

A:
It's possible that Chromecast can pick up a weaker WiFi signal than your TV can, or maybe not. Even if it does, that just means the Chromecast can receive its streams when the TV is not getting a strong enough signal to receive its streams.Chromecast does not relay a WiFi signal to the TV. It will not make the TV's WiFi features work any better.

This isn't made to create a wifi connection to your TV. It provides you with a way to display media from your mobile device on your tv.9 years, 4 months ago
A:
Chromecast streams content from your mobile device/computer to the TV via the HDMI adapter. If you don't have good signal to the cell phone for example, you won't be able to stream it.Chromecast is different from Roku for example.

A:
No. The Chrome Cast does not enhance the WiFi signal you have, it only connects to it.9 years, 4 months ago
A:
The Chromecast is a completely separate device. It will not add to or aid in your TV's WiFi.Also if you have a week signal anyways you are going to have problems with this too.

Device uses WIFI as a base for steaming. If you have low signal for your WIFI, it doesn't make any difference.9 years, 8 months ago
A:
I didn't notice much of a difference but I have good Internet.9 years, 8 months ago
A:
The Chromecast dongle is a device on it's own, it has its own WiFi radio, independant of the WiFi adapter that the new TV may have. If the Chromecast has a better range than your TV, this might be misinterpreted as "the chromecast enhancing the WiFi signal" which is not the case.To be a cord-cutter you need a reliable WiFi connection, because the Chromecast and the phone you'll be using have to connected to the same network simultaneously in order to work. Also, with a weak WiFi signal, I'm not very confident that you'll have a seamless experience streaming content to your TV.

A:
The HDMI Streaming USB does not enhance the wifi signal. The Signal your HDTV puts out is pre setup and is a manufacture build. You just need a better and faster internet service provider or try a better wifi router. I would stay away from HDTV's with wifi ready pre installments. They are very slow and don't have fast enough processors etc.by

I don't know what sling is but I use chrome cast all the time with the windows app found in their store, FULL TV, FULL MOVIES and ANAMIE! They have the latest releases and current as well as the past favorite tv programs! Anamie has the latest Disney shows, movies and other movies for children! Chrome cast is used basically to go with your computer, mobile phone and tablets to project whatever you are watching on them to the television! Most require one more free app to use as a remote control on your devices! Love it so much I have one chrome cast in each room with televisionsby

Can this media player help? If so, what do I need to do.
I have an I pad and a Google acct. looks like I need an Attena for local channels, unless I can rig my I pad to our flat screen? Hair color not a factor, I'm a novice!

I am not an expert in the use of this device and I don't know exactly what you are trying to achieve. If you want pay channels like Netflix it will work if you have an adequate internet speed and connection. There are many free channels but more premium content may cost you for "a la carte" channels like the soon to be available stand alone HBO Go. As I said in my review - I would recommend this device for the more tech savvy individual who can make things work by reading a forum and using the info to change router settings, download apps and the like. It may or may not work out of the box for you depending on your router settings. If this sounds like a foreign language I'd suggest you get something else. That said if you like a challenge and have a reasonably decent frustration tolerance it's only about $30 as a one time cost which is like one or two months of basic cable so what the heck. If you can spend more I find the Roku 3 quicker, more reliable and more user friendly esp for the noviceProducts from my answer

No, this will not help. The Chromecast simply casts certain apps like Netflix or Hulu Plus that you pay for separately. It does NOT allow you to gain access to lost channels. There is a service called Sling TV that has a limited amount of cable sports channels, but 1)I doubt that it includes the channel you want and 2)It currently is only compatible with the Amazon Fire TV Stick and Roku I believe.by

The Chromecast isn't a media player, it's really just a receiver for streaming. If your favorite channel has an app where you can view the content you want to view, and it's Chromecast compatible, the Chromecast will work. Your home must have WiFi. Just install the Chromecast and follow the instructions to set it up and connect to your WiFi. Then any Chromecast compatible app will see the Chromecast and allow you to connect.by

A:
It's a little more complicated that it sounds like it would be. If the channel is local (you can get with an antenna) I would do so that way. Basically if you can watch the show on an android device, you can watch it through chrome cast. I'm not sure about with apple products as far as integration. The real issue comes to paid channels (HBO, ESPN, A&E, TNT, etc.) because to view content you have to log on with your cable company's information to prove you can get the channel. Even CBS, ABC and NBC have started this. So now you either have to pay the a fee directly or not get your programing anyway.If you are looking for a specific show, I would recommend Cromecast and Hulu+. If you are looking at a specific channel, either pester the Cable company or channel.

It plugs into the HDMI port. I assume you could use the laptop as a remote control just like I do my android tablet. When you download the Chromecast app a new icon gets added to Netflix (and hulu, youtube, etc). You pick your video on your computer then click the new icon and it asks "Cast to" with a list. I have Tivos in the house so they show up also. Pick the device and it just starts playing there. If you are watching a series like Jerico or Marco Polo it works just like on the laptop. When one episode is done it shows the name of the next one and a 30 second count down until it the starts.9 years, 5 months ago

I'll go out on a limb and say, "No." The Google cast works with the mobile device app found on the play store. It links certain (not all) apps to the Google Cast app so the apps window can be displayed on the TV wirelessly.

You can cast the screen of your Android phone, or any tab from the Chrome browser on your laptop. So if your phone/laptop is on the Twitter website, yes. :-) (Caveat...I don't think phone screen mirroring works on iPhone, and the tab casting only works with Chrome, not other browsers.)by

This chrome app allows you to cast your live tab to a chromecast that is setup on the same network. I would just set that to your twitter feed and as it updates, it will be viewed on your TV.https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-cast/boadgeojelhgndaghljhdicfkmllpafd?hl=en
