basically depends on the setup you have at the crib. if you have all the apple stuff (computer/phone/tablet) then apple tv is the way to go.

new osx update lets you do wireless extended display

if thats not your setup, i'd say chromecast mostly for the price

Wherever whores go.....
Between a smart tv
PS3 and a Xbox 360 I have no need for those devices :heh:

But from I have seen

Apple Tv-Great if you have alot of Apple products and content from iTunes
Roku gives you access to alot of internation stuff
Chrome - Pretty limited overall
Amazon Fire Tv is the wildcard

The Fire TV has a ace in its pocket with the HBO deal.

Whoever can sign a deal to give people nationally broadcasted games for free will have an ace.

This is where things are going and I fully expect one of the big networks to get it done.

He'll you can argue that the MLB already does that with their free game per day.

My vote would be for Fire TV since unless you can track down an older ATV, that's the only one you can run XBMC on.

Chromecast lets you stream from your browser, Roku doesn't. But overall I say go with Roku 3.

I stream from my note 3 using avia....shobox is netflix on steroids and it streams to my chrome cast perfectly fine...I just watched almost a entire season of season 4 walking dead with no time outs. Maybe it's a ios/your pc thing :yeshrug:

How do you do this. Do I need to download from showbox everytime I want to cast a movie. Grabbed that avia app but it only shows movies I recorded with my camera.

I run with chromecast and use tubeplus.me and streamallthis and cast from my desktop
