Yes, the set with the Vulkano will tune to channel you command it to from your application. If your wife is watching that set and she changes the channel, you will see what she is watching. As for your 2nd question, I don't have Chromecast yet, but, yes, if you're watching something on your Android device, you can 'zap' it to the TV which houses the Chromecast devise.Hope this helps.

Here's how to think about it, you are both watching the same cable/satellite device, so the answer is yes. The same is true for Slingbox.For your second question, the answer is no. I believe the content you are watching must be running in a Chromecast enabled app (e.g. Google Chrome Browser). Since Chromecast did not exist when the Monsoon client software was written, and since they have been sued out of business here in the US. I do not believe we will ever see a Chromecast enabled player from Monsoon.

Mine is set up so that when the channel is changed on the receiver it changes on both tvs; you watch same program on both tvs at all times. (There is a satellite remote in each room so that I do not have to leave a room in order to change the channel.)

Depends. This is just a bare bones PC. You have to add a hard drive, memory (RAM), and an operating system. You could also add a TV tuner, in which case you could connect your cable/satellite in order to watch TV through your PC. If you had a tv tuner then yes you can watch all the same channels. Some cable providers also allow you to stream on demand content over the internet. If you do that then you can stream your content through your PC onto your monitor/tv

Not sure I understand the question. This device streams video from your computer to the TV. Why would you stream cable TV through your computer? That being said anything that shows up on your computer screen should show up on your TV so if you used an app or something else to get cable TV on your computer it will show up on your TV screen.

Yes. Both tv's have to watch the same channel or recording from the box. My box Is In the master bedroom. I split the hdmi to the mbed and kitchen tvs. I use a universal rf remote in the kitchen to control the box from there, and the cable remote in the room. I also have an antenna and roku boxes on each one in case we don't want to watch the same thing. Or should I say, in case she doesn't want to watch football.

I am not worried about changing the channel while someone is watching another channel. No one will be home. Does the TV have to be on? If so, can you turn it on and off remotely? OceanAndy

Hi, we were having problems with Chromecast until we enabled "Enable IGMP Snooping". This setting is under "Advanced Settings -&gt; Wireless -&gt; Professional" tab at http://192.168.1.1/. Since enabling this, Chromecast has been working flawlessly.

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.

Hi Michelle,I'm not sure I understand your question but the way this device works is that it takes a DVI and audio signals as inputs and outputs a HDMI signal. The chromecast has to plug into your TV's HDMI input and USB input. If you don't have those inputs on your TV the Chromecast won't work.

I tried to connect the device to the TV's Bluetooth and it wouldn't work. It showed that the Oontz was recognized. Then I realized that my laptop was on -connected to the TV- my cell phone was nearby. It says on the little flyer manual that oontz can only connect to one device at a time. So, I guess you'll have to turn off the phone (or put it far away) and decide on either the tv or laptop (both of mine have Bluetooth connectivity. Kind off a bummer because I really like the quality of the sound.

If you have wifi in your house, it is fairly easy to follow the setup and connect to your home network. The tv then has some apps that are ready to go (YouTube, Facebook, Skype, etc.). As I mentioned in a previous review, no browser so you can't just go to any website you want, only what the apps allow.

They will be able to watch TV, but "only" the channel you have selected from your remote access. As long as you are logged in as the admin you control the channel selection!

The Belkin @TV allows you to watch your home TV channels (including DVR and "on demand") on your computer or iPad. You can hook up a cable from your computer to a TV and watch on the TV screen. You change the input on your TV (the same as when you watch a DVD) in order to view the screen from your computer. I chose Belkin over Slingbox because I had read some horror stories about customer service at Slingbox. I did have a problem with the @TV, but the Belkin folks were fantastic! They replaced the unit, and now it works great!

There is no TV tuner on the monitor so you can't watch TV unless you use an external tuner. That could be a TV card in your computer for instance in which case you would be able to see the TV channels 'indirectly'. If you connected your cable box (if that is what you use) HDMI output to the monitor, you could also use it to view the cable channels.

That is what I have it hooked up to. Depends on which Direct TV box you have the lowest model has two Component sets OUT on it and I just plugged the unused one into it (the other goes to the main TV. Whatever is on one is on the other. Works well for us because she wanted a TV in the bathroom so I put it on the one in the Bedroom. Chances pretty slim your watching something different on both of those tv's because the are close enough the sound of two shows would drive you nuts.
