Every day that I'm at the crib... Very dope if you don't have a dedicated netflix device or only have a PS3 (like me)... The phone control for netflix and youtube is seamless....

The casting from the browser (especially first row) could use a lot of work, it's still worth the 35 plus 3 months of Netflix for both of my devices....

Yeah I ended up buying it a few hours after my post, I bought it at best buy does mine come with a Netflix code? Not that I need it but still ain't see no Netflix code anywhere

Bought mine at BB too. If they still come with a code, it would be on your receipt. They also asked me for my email address so I could get the code sent to me too.... But this was the morning after it was released.....

It plugs into only one device but I run mine off my cell, tablet and pc. Whichever is closest to me.

A plex dev tweeted that they had ordered a couple of these and are cooking something up, that was two days after it came out and playon TV sucks

I just throw Plex on a browser, play want I want and cast it over to the TV. Can't browse through your selection though so its not all that great.

the wifi range is fukking ASS on this.. i can't even cast in my living room of my small place. it only works in the same room as my router..which is pointless since i have consoles i use in here.. defeats the whole purpose of me buying this shyt

Something is wrong with your router, another person in this thread had that same problem

my solution was to put longer ethernet cables and drag it out a bit from where it was when im gonna cast ..and it still only gives 2-3 outta the 4 bars

so you're saying it should NOT have shorter wifi range than my laptop or phone??

It should have a range of about 32 feet
