I have it, and use it for streaming youtube videos to my TV. I have a Roku I use for netflix- it's easier to use a remote interface still for browsing Netflix I think.

But I stream a lot of youtube, random documentaries and such; it works OK for that. I also like using it to stream soundcloud webpages to my stereo- I just turn the TV's picture off to save energy, and leave my stereo on, and push a Soundcloud tab to the Chromecast while I'm working.

I have noted it is buggy as hell though. Many times I have to refresh youtube pages to get the chromecast icon to appear. Sometimes I hit the button and nothing happens, it hangs.

I feel like the device itself is far, far more powerful than the apps running on it. From what I understand it is a full fledged Android computer, that could be used as a standalone computer if it was unlocked.

They day they allow it it to take local media & desktop apps and stream/decode device-side... it goes from being a novel little toy to a killer-f*cking-platform
