See, I always watch sports in my living room, not bedroom where I have the Chromecast. I'll check when I get home how well ESPN 3 on a Chrome browser works with it and post it here.

My TV has most of the apps I use, but no HBOGo. Can I get HBOGo on Chromecast?

you dont "get" apps on chromecast. it is just a device that mirrors supported apps from your phone to its HDMI output. and yes HBOGO is supported as on last november.

Better than that, you can mirror your chrome browser and google this very question on your tv.

It depends on your router really. It streams great at my place and shitty at my parents

except the Plex part. I got Plex for Roku down to a science in the 2 weeks I've had it, haha.


The unsupported apps bundle is a bundle that you add to your plex library and it lets you see pretty much any movie, tv show, etc. I watch frozen with my kids almost every night.

ETA: Had a Roku XS and bought thr Roku 3 recently. The 3 is the tits. super fast and the remote with the headphone jack is awesome.

roku 3 is the best media device bar none. apple tv is very nice but roku has it beat with content. forget the chromecast, just shell out an extra $50-60 and get the roku 3. supports dual band wifi and their is a noticeable difference in processing power over the other roku models
