Use google chrome cast as HD set top box
I am going to buy a smart HD TV . Can the google chrome cast be used as HD set top box? Is it a good substitute for HD set top boxes rented out by cable companies?
Thanks
The Chromecast doesn't have any apps built into to it. Instead, it is dependent on the apps on your tablet or smartphone or what is being shown in a Chrome browser. It is not as easy to use as a set top box because you are limited to what the cable company streams through their app or what agreements they have made to allow streaming through various channels' apps. And, this is assuming they allow their content to be casted to the Chromecast.
