Yes if you have Google Chromecast. Just plug into HDMI and download app and it works great

Yes it can work with a mini HDMI and standard HDMI cable to HDTV. It does work with Google Chromecast. Your on your own about the internet.

This "hub" will not connect to any TV without an HDMI input. It is only a hub - expanding one HDMI input to several.

I'm not sure if that would work or not, but we just bought the Google ChromeCast $35. It is a dongle that hooks into the HDMI and picks up wireless from iPhone, ipad, or MacBook. Very slick. Anything we watch on these devices displays on the tv. I understand Apple TV is similar but it is $99.

There is no reason to think that it wouldn't as Chromecast puts out a standard HDMI signal. The SANOXY device doesn't have much room on the back for connections and the Chromecast is a bit "fat" so you will probably need a short HDMI extension cable. As with any use of Chromecast, you will need to provide power to the Chromecast device as you probably already know (HDMI doesn't provide power like a USB connection can).

This device has one input and four outputs, to send one signal to up to four TV's. That doesn't sound like what you need if you want to send your computer display to a TV. If you have an available HDMI port on your TV, you don't need this. If you don't you need a HDMI switcher. Not a splitter.

If you have HDMI output on the chromecast and composite video/audio on the tv (yellow, red, and white rca connections) it should work fine. I'm not sure about the power requirements for the converter though. I always use my usb port to power it from my computer, but I've been told the HDMI cable will power it. The converter itself lights up from a blue led inside when the power is on... Hope this helps. As far as the converter itself goes, it works great!

There is 3 hdmi inputs and one hdmi out (that goes to the tv) so you just plug them all into the bar and you can switch between input via the remote or the button on the bar. I have a chrome cast, xbox, and u verse all plugged into mine. The best thing to do is get a good universal remote with learning capabilities so you can have ONE remote do it all instead of 4

Chromecast plugs in to a USB port, and this doesn't have a USB port, so that probably wouldn't work.

I don't know - I have not attempted that yet. I mostly use it as a bridge since the composite inputs blew out on my 65 inch TV. But when I tried Chromecast with it, I was unable to get it working, so I am glad that you did. Any advice for me on how you got Chromecast to work and what are your best uses for it?

Yes, it will work. Plug the HDMI plug from DirecTV on one side, and the Chromecast into the other. You will need an additional HDMI cable to go from the StarTech to the TV. While this will do exactly what you want, I do suggest you use a Roku cube rather than Chromecast. I've tried both and find the Roku so much better!

I'd say no. Really all you have to do is hook tv to computer. will need to make sure you have decent graphics card. HDMI output is the easiest. you basically set up tv as second monitor. your computer can't really send wifi signal or blutooth signals, which i believe chrome cast uses. even if you could make it work, I believe their would be latency issues.

No, what you want is a micro USB to HDMI adapter to do video out. Easier than that is using a Chromecast or other dongle to mirror the screen. But if you insist on cabling out, get the adapter and connect to any HDMI compliant screen using pretty much any HDMI cable.

I am not certain about the exact device you described. What I can tell you is that I successfully used this HDMI switcher with a chromecast, ps3, and time warner cable. I did have to try different combinations, ie move devices to different spots on the HDMI device. After enough guess and check all my devices worked.

I plugged it into one of the HDMI inputs of my TV. I select that input for my tv and then have the tv tune in the stations. See the TV manual for instructions--but it's pretty obvious. I have chromecast plugged into another HDMI input.

Yes, that is correct. This item is designed to split a single source into two outputs. It is not designed to combine two sources into one. So you will need separate inputs on your TV; you might choose the component output for one item and HDMI output for the other.
