Turn your HDTV into a SmartTV!
Finally a way to watch YouTube videos and streaming movies on HDTV. I am excited about this capability. For those that do not feel like being glued to the desk for hours, finally a solution to the problem. It’s called Google Chromecast HDMI Streaming Media Player
With Chromecast: “You can easily enjoy your favorite online entertainment on your HDTV—movies, TV shows, music, and more from Netflix, YouTube, Hulu Plus, Google Play Movies and Music, and Chrome.”
I don’t know about you but I am happy to see this and I will be getting one very soon. I was looking for a way to watch YouTube on television and this is my cue.
And the best part…only around $35. In these tough economic times it matters.
I also like the convenience of the Dongle. Just plug and play. I understand that there is some kind of antenna or extender, and I do believe that there is no limit to the TV’s that can be accessed in any room. What’s not to like here?
Using a smartphone, tablet, or laptop the WiFi magic begins.
Of course Google wants to get in on the TV entertainment business. They want access to your HDMI port. No doubt. The low price is a very strong selling point. And the ease of use is convenient. Simplicity is always a plus.
Chromecast vs. Apple TV vs. Roku
Chromecast vs. Apple TV vs. Roku. Which streaming box should you get?

2. HDMI To RCA Composite Enables Users To Stream With Old TVs ... On The Squid ► If you’re wanting to stream content with a device such as Apple TV for example, but you do not have a flat screen TV, there’s a gadget that you might be interested in. The HDMI to RCA composite enables users to stream with the old style television. Yes, Apple fans can watch Apple TV with that old TV. Chromecast is another viable choice.
3. Roku Purple Light Keeps Blinking ... On The Squid ► The Roku set top box updates itself often. Not long after a reset I noticed one of the Roku boxes was doing something rather odd.

7. Cheaper Wire For Ham Antenna Projects ... On The Squid ► Especially for listening to the lower bands in this crazy unpredictable solar cycle, I’m accustomed to building my own antennas. Thicker copper wire is usually the standard, but over the years I’ve learned that thinner gauge wire will hold out sufficiently. It’s all in the packaging. Here are a few scattered ideas.
