Win a Chromecast

chromecast outer box

This is a chromecast.

No, I didn’t know either.

It:

Supports BBC iPlayer, YouTube, Netflix, BT Sport, NOW TV and Google Play Movies & Music

Works with Android, iOS , Windows, Mac and Chromebooks

Easy setup: plug into any HDTV and connect to your home Wifi Network

Everything you love, now on your TV

Basically, what this means is that all those lovely streaming services you enjoy on your phone, or tablet, or computer, you can now see on your rather nicer to look at TV screen. Assuming you have a nicer to look at TV screen 😉 You can buy yourself Google Chromecast HDMI Streaming Media Player, or you can enter to win one right here 🙂

I’m good to you, aren’t I?

I was sent one to review as well. It’s incredibly dinky. Slightly chunkier than a USB drive but looking very much like that sort of thing.

The box contains

1x Chromecast HDMI Streaming Media Player

1x HDMI Extender

1x USB Power Cable

1x Power Adapter

so you’re good to go if you’ve got a smart something or other than can work it (it supports Android 2.3 and higher, iOS 6 and higher, Mac OS 10.7 and higher, Windows 7 and higher and Chrome OS (Chromebook Pixel, Acer C720 Chromebook, Acer C720P Chromebook, HP Chromebook 14 and Toshiba Chromebook) ). Oh, and you need a HDTV to plug it into. Sadly I’m not giving one of those away 😉

This is ideal for those of us addicted to Netflix or a variety of other streaming services, as mentioned above. Which I think is probably all of us. Who watches live TV any more? Anyone? And mine came with codes for NowTV and Google Play, which I need to get around to activating.

Basically, it’s all good. And you’d like to win one wouldn’t you? So head on down to the widget and get entering. And where it asks you to leave a comment, that’s right here on the blog 🙂

  1. I’m old fashioned, I still watch TV…er… On a TV. Although I do love my TiVo box!

    1. Mostly main TV, with a box allowing pause and rewind.

  2. I’ve been watching hours of live tv for about three months now!

      ah. Yes. Want to win a chromecast then? 😉

      1. We don’t have an HDTV so wouldn’t be able to use it.
        I just commented because I wanted to comment that we watch live tv on a tv 🙂

        1. Apparently we do have a HDTV. Actually HisNibs says we have two HDTVs. I never knew! Both were given to us by people who’d upgraded so just assumed they were old tech.

          1. But we hook the iPads up to them in the same way this gadget would work. So still better for someone else to win it.

Having read the above, this would stop me suffering the indiginity of trying to watch catch up TV on my laptop, where the buffering makes a one hour programme last around four hours!!

    bit of a struggle with ‘old’ 2008ish macbook with old system, cheap old early hd plasma, and about 20 leads I’ve used to try to hook them up to get better picture. I’ve got a half-working android tablet thing (half the touch screen doesn’t work), apparently you can work a chromecast thingy through it. It”s a struggle, but I can get something reasonable on 42 inch screen on a low budget, so I’m happy…but technically I know it can be pushed to be a bit better. Not in definition, but some converter thingy, which should in theory be nice and newish on chromecast, with less blurring during fast and furious action scenes. Downton Abbey or teletubbies is fine, but mission impossible 3 would probably be..impixellable?

How I Can Help

After 20+ years of home educating my four children (two now adults), I’ve gathered a wealth of experience that I’m passionate about sharing. Beyond blogging and guest writing, I offer several services designed to support families on their home education journey.

Resources to Support Your Home Ed Journey

I’ve put together a collection of resources that I’ve genuinely found useful over the years—things that have actually made a difference in our home education. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to freshen things up, there’s something here to help. These are the tools, guides, and materials I’d recommend to a friend, because they work.
