Bought two while they were on sale....neat little thing but very limited. Good for Netflix, hbogo and Hulu. No Amazon video although I hear you can watch through the browser somehowlike_that;1550644 wrote:Now that has been out for awhile, what does everyone think? I have been thinking about getting one. -

I have them all, that's why I am interested. Can you display your browser on the screen and surf the web?wes_mantooth;1550661 wrote:Bought two while they were on sale....neat little thing but very limited. Good for Netflix, hbogo and Hulu.

Yeah, I had Facebook up using my laptop.

It was cool, but I ended up selling it shortly after buying it (for a profit on ebay).
For our uses, we have other devices already that do more...
The chromecast is cool for a 3rd or 4th TV in the house, but couldn't be relied on as a central streaming device for us...just too limited right now.
I'd rather get a good deal on a roku for $50 -

I was using mine in my office for awhile. But it is on the other side of the house from the modem and my connection really sucked. I couldn't be online on my computer and streaming from my tablet at the same time. But when my tablet is hooked up with an HDMI cable, I have no problem streaming Netflix while being on my laptop.
I have been wanting to try it in my bedroom since that's where the modem is to see if I have the same problem. If I do, I'll probably just give this to someone because it's not going to work for me. -

My wife likes it. She is able to watch Netflix in the bedroom when I'm watching sports. -

How does it work with HBOgo?
I don't need it to watch it TV as I have cable but I don't have any premium channels. I watch all HBO shows through my buddies HBOgo account. Currently, I have to hook an HDMI cable to my laptop and control it through the computer. This seems like it would be way better.
