Setup is super easy and simple
How was the setup like?
It doesn't have the functionality that other streamers have in terms of the variety of supported application but for $35 + tax you get a nice compact device that can play netflix, Google Play (online movie rental/buy service, similar to iTunes), Google Chrome and youtube. The 'cast is also an open platform so they say the final word is far from being said here, and there's a lot more to come.There is no remote or some on screen interface. The device is controlled via mobile devices or pc/laptop using the chromecast mobile app. I have the app on my iphone and Nexus 7 (android). Integration with the devices is OK but can be improved in terms of interface however playback for Netflix and Google Play was flawless for me.Setup is super easy and simple. You basically don't need to type in almost any information other than naming you device (optional but useful if you have more than one). Just plug it in, and let the app on you phone/device set up itself. Note however that the chromcast turns off when not in use so you have to turn on your tv and switch to the chromecast to wake it up so you can set it up (say on another device).I hope this device will support other apps in the future, like Amazon for example. But for now I'm extremely happy for the price I paid.
