Download speed for streaming
Because of my distance from a central station, my Internet connection lets me download at a max speed of 1.5 Mbps, with an occasional 170 Mbps. Is that fast enough to stream movies or HBO? If Chromecast is plugged into the computer via HDMI, is the download stored in the unit? Or is it stored anywhere else, or do I have to watch the streaming movie or show as it is being streamed? Guess I am not clear on how Chromecast works.
You will need a faster/better internet speed to reduce the buffering that can happen when you watch. You don't connect the Chromecast to your PC. It is connected to your TV and you download the app 'chromecast' from the play store or itunes store for FREE.

Chromecast is a device that you plug into your TV's HDMI port, powered by a USB cable (included). Using your smartphone or computer as a remote control, you can use Chromecast to access video content from Netflix, YouTube, Hulu Plus, the Google Play Store and other services.
