How is the Chromebox as a streaming media device?

Works fine for our application. Have not used it for streaming video or heavy lifting. Sorry.

If you have good internet access, it would be the same as any other laptop device. Awesome!!!

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

Yes, do a search for "Google Chromecast HDMI Streaming Media Player". This provides wireless connectivity to HDMI...

I have the ASUS Chromebox, the video camera will not work on a Chromebox since it requires a driver install, but the monitor works great.

No, it only transfers video from non proprietary software. No audio. So it won't work on netflix or any tv or movie channels. Go get the chrome.

Not a problem! The Display Port does need the correct plug/cord. I paid 12 bucks on amazon. Output on the chromebox is 1080 and the sound is digital and outstanding!

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.

I don´t know about the Asus i3 Chromebox performance but I can tell you that this little machine let you choose the operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and meanwhile It´s true that the chromeboxes can be good machines this product give you flexibility (and I Love that)

It should... it works on my Playstation 3 so it should definitely work on a Chromebox. Long story short anything that implements a USB protocol would work just fine.

That's exactly what I'm running and it's going great for me. Streaming via Steam onto a Chromebook running crouton-based Ubuntu with no problems at all. I think you'll be happy :)

I can't answer the first question since I don't have the Chromecast gadget, but, according to the adds, it should work if your tv has the hdmi input. And yes you can watch movies from a tbumb drive. Acer a200 performs well. Good luck. Bob H

I'd use Google Chromecast, it sends over video/audio desktop anything you want for $35.

Honestly, Robert, I've been using it for system backups/restores. I haven't tried it for streaming.

Frankly I don't know as I'm running Linux and not Chromebox, But a quick 'Google Search' tells me NO as others seem to report that D-Link isnt working on their machines either, Possibly you can borrow one from a 'Friend' to test first, But judging from what I read the answer is No and I'd say save your Money!."Sorry I cant Help?".....

I have never experienced a Chromecast. After initial difficulties with operation the Warpia device works exceptionally well. Can't imagine a better device.

apparently yes, although i havn't tried. So long as your tablet or computer with content is connected to the same network/wifi it should be able. I know the chromecast ($35 ) is designed for that. This one however is designed as a media player mostly and i find it most reliable to use with a micro SD card full of content

It has worked fine for me, steaming Netflix and various video files. I haven't pushed it at very high data rates, though. Jim
