I don't know. I communicate with simple.tv via my Windows 7 computer and ROKU. Basically, anything on your local network with browser capability can access simple.tv via the simple.tv website. If Chromecast has that capability, it ought to be able to communicate with simple.tv. If not, it probably will not be able to do so. I would check with both Chromecast and Simple.tv for the answer to that question.

I found it very hard to operate. I use chromecast now with no problems at all

I was thinking about going with Chromecast. Decided to buy this instead. Chromecast has to be linked to another device I think right? Phone, tablet, computer. Chromecast I believe you can use certain apps on it right. In the description on amazon it even tells you that for Chromecast. What I like about this product. 1. It's basically a android tablet on your tv. All the apps that chromecast supports, I believe this does too, and a whole lot more. Not big on memory, but you can hook in a flash drive to use for memory purposes (I have a 64gb flash). It also supports browser app downloads (not market apps and other media) just like a phone or tablet would. Download google tv remote on your phone and you can control it with your phone after the initial set up of course. Or you can buy a mini usb mouse and keyboard dual which works too. Initial set up has to be by a mouse. You dont need a keyboard bc of onscreen keyboard. I've had it for a few days and it does exactly what I need it to. Only real downfalls I've noticed is that it gets extremely hot when used. Could cause harm if it overheats and there's no power off switch on it, so you have to unplug it to turn it off unless I missed something... But for me its been a really good device so far. Does a lot more than chromecast in my estimation, and cheaper.

Yes, absolutely. I have personally done this for exactly the reason/need you are in streaming Chromecast. And, there are many other excellent features this device performs (e.g. re-broadcasting wifi signal as a repeater for further wifi coverage.). An excellent investment!

Most likely no. I had a terrible experience with this. Better invest in a Chromecast

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

Actually it is better. With Chromecast you get no audio and you must have your laptop or tablet available to link to it for audio and navigation. It's best use is for presentations like a projector. It is a dumb monitor. This is a mostly fully functioning Android computer complete with audio as you would expect from a tablet. Not to mention that it is about 40% cheaper than Chromecast.

My Chromecast has an HDMI connector. There are at least 3 HDMI connectors on the TV. A couple in back, and one on the side. Check the manual. If you do not have one, you can find it on the Internet.

I don't know about chromecast, but you can plug in in the USB for power supply

This remote keypad has nothing to do with the Chromecast device. The keypad is associated with a computer it will "run". The Chromcast device just displays on your tv whatever your computer is displaying. If the keyboard works with your computer/laptop, then you are fine. If you are wondering if you can work a Chromecast device without a computer by using this keyboard... nope

You need a TV and tablet that's capable of miracast or Cromecast, otherwise the speed is inadequate. It's also a one way affair. You can cast from the tablet or chrome book to the TV but not the other way.

This is happening with all applications, it happened to me recently with Crackle. It seems all of them are moving to support Chromecast only. This is too bad, the device is not perfect but I bought it 1.5 yrs ago and I consider these companies should support their products longer. May be someone will be able to crack this and give it a couple of more years of service.I just checked my GX1200V (Hisense Pulse), it runs Chrome without issue, my firmware version is 3.2 and the system says it is the latest. I suggest you check your firmware and update Chrome.

It might, but Google's Chromecast is probably a better device. I had all kinds of trouble getting this to work and eventually gave up. I also don't understand what you mean by the netflix comment. You do need to get the content from somewhere. If not from Netflix then from Hulu or Amazon Prime etc. This device (or Google's chromecast or any other device) certainly won't help you with *getting* the content, just casting it to a TV when you have it.

This is a Bluetooth radio sender for your computer. I don't think chromecast is Bluetooth based. You need to read the literature for chromecast to see. Go to their online manual.

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.
