  • Yes, my desk is so messy I have to stream my content, wirelessly, from a distance.

  • We have seen content streaming before with portable devices. I myself, reviewed a Netgear

  • device a few months ago. But when the big hitters release their own versions of the

  • technology, the mainstream audience sit up and pay attention.

  • Google's Chromecast is precisely that, a budget device targeting a still new concept to the

  • mass market.

  • It's designed to do the most important thing above all else: work. Any other fancy stuff

  • is merely a bonus.

  • The Chromecast comes with a small HDMI dongle, a small HDMI wire extender, if your television

  • is in a awkward position such as flush against a wall, a plug and a USB cable that can plug

  • straight into you television's USB port (if it has one) to power device which means you

  • can eliminate the use of a plug.

  • The Chromecast dongle has a reset button and a micro usb port that you plug the power cable

  • into. Simple stuff.

  • Plug the Chromecast into a HDMI port on your television and tune you television to that

  • channel. That's the receiver part of the solution solved.

  • Next comes the transmitter. For portable devices such as smartphones and tablets (and this

  • includes iPhone and iPad Apple products) you need to download the Chromecast application.

  • After some very simple setup instructions, which as usual, Google make very clear and

  • almost completely automated, your Chromecast and smart device will be linked to each other.

  • This now makes your device (to use the official terminology) ready to cast. So with an application

  • such as Youtube you want to use this casting icon in the top right hand corner. When you

  • press it, it automatically starts streaming the content from your device to the Chromecast

  • plugged into the television. As you can see in this demonstration the whole process takes

  • around 10 seconds.

  • The video and audio are synced perfectly and you still control the video through controls

  • on your tablet. It's simple, clean and efficient at its job.

  • You can also download plenty of applications to use Chromecast in move inventive ways.

  • If you have content stored locally on your device you can use an application such as

  • BubbleUPnP to play local videos. The result is much the same: perfect, wirelessly streamed

  • content.

  • In you jump to different locations in the video, there is a slight delay so performance

  • isn't lighting. But to date I haven't seen any streaming service that can instantly jump

  • from one location to another. For applications that are designed to use Chromecast it reliably

  • works and, of course, it frees you up to put distance between the transmitter and the receiver.

  • Chromecast works and it's an excellent tool for quickly dumping content to a large television.

  • Admittedly there is the question of duplicating technology. The chances are, if Chromecast

  • interests you, you already have some sort of smart box (like Sky or a Smart DVD player

  • that includes streaming services). But for just £30 Chromecast is worth having around.

  • And as an additional benefit Chromecast works through the Chrome browser on your computer.

  • Again, download the Chromecast application from the Chrome store, do a bit of simple

  • setup and you'll find a casting button at the top right of the Chrome browser that enables

  • you to broadcast a web page, or even your entire computer screen, again wirelessly,

  • to your television.

  • This, however is not an exact science. There is a certain element of lag as you can see

  • here with my Chromebook a second or two ahead of what's being shown on screen. But audio

  • is synced to what's on the television which is handy.

  • Chromecast might not be the most sophisticated streaming device out there. But, if you stick

  • to applications and services designed for streaming it works perfectly. And because

  • it's a Google product, is so cheap and a lot of them have been sold, there's all sorts

  • of experimentation going on in the developer world to further unlock its potential.

  • So, in summary, Chromecast has something for everyone at an everyday price.

Yes, my desk is so messy I have to stream my content, wirelessly, from a distance.
