Google Chromecast review: Second-screen simplicity<article>
<section class="page">
<p>The main thing to know about Chromecast is that you’ll either love it or hate it. Unlike every other media streamer in our buying guide, Google’s $35 TV dongle doesn’t include a proper remote control or an interface that you can navigate through the television. Everything’s controlled through a phone, tablet, or PC. Just hit the “Cast” button in supported apps such as Netflix or Hulu and the video starts playing on the big screen.</p><p>Some people will find this approach infuriating. Chromecast becomes worthless without a companion device within reach, which is a problem for folks who don’t tote their phones around the house or struggle to keep them charged through the end of the day. And for other people, there’s just no replacement for a physical remote control that works without having to look at it.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2045493/streaming-hardware/review-googles-chromecast-puts-most-of-the-internet-on-your-tv-on-the-cheap.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
