Works great. I used one for a year in the states before moving here. Also, there are free Google VPN changing extensions that work well with it. With this GOOGLE extension you can select any country for a VPN. Chromecast allows you to watch movies online wireless to your TV or anything else that comes in on your browser. Lot of good programs out there on streaming live. CD's to TV, Thumb Drive to TV, Hard Drive to TV, Streaming to TV, Music to TV, and Google doesn't allow just any company to use this. There are a lot they tested and use such as, hulu,espn,hbo-go,netflix, and on and on. It works through a computer, cellphone or tablet. All you need is WiFi.

They are very handy.
You need wireless internet.
You need a television with an available HDMI port to plug in the device.
You need to install Chrome as your browser and install the Chromecast Extension to it.
Follow the simple setup instructions to type in the code you see on the TV screen.
You now have the ability to cast what is on your computer screen (or other device that you may set up) and it will display on your television.
It's useful for displaying websites, emails, Youtube videos, Netflix, etc.
There are other similar products but this one does everything advertised quite well and it's very simple.
