Google’s Chromecast is a handy little device that allows you to stream apps from your phone, tablet or laptop directly to your TV screen. With the previous iteration arriving in the latter stages of 2018, rumours are now rife that a new model could be set to land in the coming months. But what could […]
About a month ago we spotted two new entries in the country availability listings for the new Chromecast and Chromecast Audio: Taiwan and India. Today both of those are coming true (though India is somewhat conditional – see below), and you can add Hong Kong into the mix. For both Hong Kong and Taiwan, the […]
The Chromecast has come a long way since its inception, and it is now much more than just a way to mirror a browser tab to your TV. In fact, most of the ways you can use a Chromecast today have little or nothing to with Chrome itself, and run exclusively on Google’s underlying Cast […]
Risk, The Game Of Life, and Scrabble [Blitz 2…] are all classic board game franchises that would really benefit from the Chromecast treatment. And that’s exactly what Hasbro’s done today, releasing all three games in brand-new Chromecast “big screen” editions for Android. The best part? While they do have in-app purchases, they’re the kind that […]
You can get by without a cable subscription these days and still watch plenty of video with the magic of the internet. Well, unless you have an oppressive data cap to deal with. Yuck. For everyone else, there’s the streaming cable service Sling TV. It launched a while back with support for a few devices, which […]
Chromecast is best known for getting video from your phone or tablet onto your television screen. It also streams audio, if you’re into that sort of thing. These two things cover most of what people generally do with Google’s little streaming stick. But that’s hardly all it can do. Google would love for you to view […]
Spotify finally capitulated and added support for Chromecast streaming recently, but there were a number of caveats. Streaming to the Chromecast Audio required a premium subscription and the first-gen Chromecast wasn’t supported. That second issue won’t be a problem anymore. Reboot your first-gen Chromecast, and Spotify should work just fine. The lack of first-gen support […]
Have you been having trouble casting videos or other content to your Chromecast or Android TV device lately? You’re not alone – we’ve been getting tips for the last day from all over the Android world about casting failures, and based on threads on Reddit, XDA, Google’s support forums, and even NVIDIA’s SHIELD forums, the […]
Did you buy the new-and-improved 2015 Chromecast? If so, you may have forgotten that your purchase includes a free movie rental on Google Play Movies, even if you’d already purchased a Chromecast previously (offers are per device, not account – so you get one for each CC you purchased up to a maximum of five). […]
The new Chromecast and Chromecast Audio are here! We want to know: did you buy one? The new video Chromecast now supports 5GHz Wi-Fi and has a much-improved antenna array design allowing superior Wi-Fi signal. It also just seems faster generally, and that’s got fans of the cast platform quite pleased. Aside from that, though […]
The new Chromecast is here! Well, sort of new. I mean, it is new, but it doesn’t really do anything new apart from one oft-requested feature: 5GHz Wi-Fi (also, Wi-Fi ac support, if that matters to you [read: it probably doesn’t]). Google has not only added higher-frequency wireless support to the new Chromecast, it’s also […]
Last year’s lineup aside, a good balance of specs and price has become a hallmark of Google’s Nexus line, but this year not everyone around the world will be getting the same bang for their buck.If you live in Europe, you may end up paying over 40% more for a Nexus phone than stateside, and you […]
