you dont need an external power source. you can use the usb port on your tv to charge the device
Not to mention if you have a tv that was made past 2009-2010 more than likely you have HDMI 1.4 which powers devices through the HDMI port itself.

edit: Nevermind I'm reading this might not have that capability?

So I think there is a scalper in my area or I was just shyt out of luck. I called the best buy only 20 minutes from my job and they told me they had 10 in stock. So I make the drive asap down to the best buy with hopes to make it back before my lunch was over and I get there and dude is like "yeah you called?" and searched in the back. Came out like "Ah sorry we're all out" :to:

search on the bestbuy site to see which stores has them(make sure it says "available now" not "ship to store")

then just order it online and you can go pick it up tonight/in the morning

Google Chromecast HDMI Streaming Media Player H2G2-42 - Best Buy

the dude that had bad quality was using his phone as a wireless hotspot

using the wifi and my tablet its excellent
Yeah that's what I thought it was. I was showing it off in the bestbuy store so I used my phone real quick. I guess the picture quality depends on your internet speed.
