Watching tv is our favorite family “downtime” activity. Entertainment has changed quite a bit since the boys were little when they would come to me holding a DVD they wanted to watch! Everything is right at our fingertips on all sorts of devices. You really don’t even need to have cable anymore to have pretty much any type of entertainment you want streamed right to your tv.
I think the most used device in our house is a streaming media player. There are lots of options to choose from, but my boys have been liking the Google Chromecast from Best Buy lately! Since we installed our Google Home, they love being able to simply say “Ok Google, play Stranger Things from Netflix on my living room TV.”
If you’re not familiar with the Google Chromecast Streaming Media player, it allows you to:
- Watch movies, shows, live TV, YouTube, and photos streaming on your TV from all your family’s devices.
-
Works with the streaming apps you know and love – Enjoy TV shows, movies, videos, songs, games, sports and more from over 2000 apps like Netflix, YouTube, YouTube TV, and HBO NOW. Find more at g.co/chromecast/
- You can start streaming with just your voice – Just say what you want to watch from compatible apps and control your TV hands-free, with Chromecast and Google Home working seamlessly together (if you have compatible devices).
-
Upgrade your TV for less – Expand your home entertainment without buying a new TV. It’s so affordable you can get one for every TV in the house.
-
High-speed wireless connectivity – Built-in 802.11ac Wi-Fi connects to the Internet through your wireless home network (wireless router required and sold separately).
-
Compatible with your existing HDTV – Easily connects to high-definition televisions with HDMI connectivity.
Basically, it’s an easy way to stream ALL the content to your tv which is perfect for family movie/catch up on TV night. We’ve even pulled it up during dinner to show YouTube videos we were discussing. It’s a fun, easy, and inexpensive (you can add one to every tv in the house) addition to the family entertainment.
Do you have a streaming device in your house? Check out the Google Chromecast Streaming Media Player at Best Buy. It would definitely make a great holiday gift this year!
