Stylish smart watch with good performance.

You have to use Google Now and use the watch for a week or more to appreciate the functionality. You will stop feeling the need to pull out your phone all the time.

Google - Chromecast - Black

multiple t.v useage

If I bought one for each t.v in my house could I watch a different show on each t.v using the same tablet/phone/PC?

No, you need one phone/tablet/computer per TV/Chromecast to watch different shows on different TVs.

You can control multiple Chromecast through a phone, just need to select which one to control at a time.

sites

I watch a lot of TV shows and movies on different streaming sites ie, solarmovies, megashare, primewire etc. Will chrome cast work with these sites? I do also watch lots of Netflix and some YouTube so it may still be worth it for me but it would be nice if it work for my other sites aswell

Yes, if you can watch it in chrome it can be sent to the Chromecast.

add to other question

I asked a question about the chrome cast working with other streaming sites but I forgot to mention that I have a Microsoft surface RT tablet and some apps like the chrome browser won't download on it. It is one thing I am disappointed with this tablet for..... pretty much the only thing really, there are other things it won't allow me to download but that is the only one o can think of that pertains to this. Would it still be ideal for me to purchase the chrome cast?

Do you have an Android or Apple smartphone? If not, get an Amazon FireTV, Roku, or Nexus Player streamer. The Chromecast can work from a Chrome browser on your computer, but my experience everything but Netflix and Youtube runs a bit choppy.

NON-HDTV CONNECTOR/ADAPTOR PLUG

I have an older model t.v. that don't have a USB plug. It does have the plugs fot hooking up my dvd player. My dvd player "DOES HAVE" 2 usb plugs. 1 on the back & 1 on the front. The back says "output", the fronts doesn't say anything. I can plug my dvd player into the t.v.. Can I run my CHROME CAST through the DVD-usb slots & run it like that, or is there a plug that converts from the YELLOW & WHITE PORTS on the t.v. to a usb in order to plug in chrome cast?? I am disabled & can,t afford an HDTV w/HDMI ports??

Do you mean HDMI? USB is just used for power. Your player may have an HDMI pass through, but likely not a converter. Stand alone converters are usually in the $40-$50 range. I would suggest buying a Roku box (not stick) instead, and take back the Chromecast if you have already purchased. It will support component Audio/Video and HDMI if you later upgrade your TV, and is cheaper than buying a Chromecast and converter.

I bought my parents a Roku a few years ago, and I have a Chromecast. They work about equally well. You need to keep track of the remote for the Roku, while you need your smartphone on you to use the Chromcast.

Connecting a tablet

Why I can not connect my Nsus Memo Pad to my Chromecast Media Player?

I assume you meant Asus. Most likely you need to install Chromecast on your tablet. If Chromecast is installed, try unisntalling, rebooting, then reinstalling.

Can you make and receive phone calls from this device?

No. You will get notification of an incoming call and answer the calll, but you will need to have a headset or pull out the phone to hear as the watch does not have a speaker.

Is this compatible with the HTC One M8?

As long as it is running Android 4.3 or later, then yes. There is a version of the HTC One M8 that runs Windows, that is not going to work.
