Anyone got one , any good ? looks a good bit of kit 

[al brown]

Not tried it, I use a WD play box as it has WiFi, Netflix, iPlayer etc and can have a hard drive plugged in to view you home movies. Isn't too expensive but does require its own power supply unlike chromecast.

Don't need it with my new amp.

Got a box of 40 of them 

BBC iPlayer app is very impressive. Be a few months before more apps use it. Think of it as a browser on a HDMI dongle

Ive been debating a nowtv or chromecast to smarten up a temporary bedroom tv, each have pros and cons

First dibs on a free one from Mr T 
Looking at a few vids i see you can play any device through it  So playing stuff from the laptop ect to the tv screen would be great

You can put a chrome tab up from say a laptop to a screen. But its sluggish. As a demo its fine but not for normal use. Its capacity is limited. It's best if Chromecast aquires the video, rather than sending it from a device on same network. Eg your laptop

Wired or Wireless?

In a nut shell it will give your Sky+ box an internet connection, which will allow it access to the vast on-demand catalogs. Depending on your package, you can get access to the ones your account will allow 

[chrisgixer]

Just plug it in I thought?
