g0at Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) It looks really cool but good luck buying one in the first 6 months... Available at retailers, my local Best Buy has them. Edit: Although, you better call in advance! Edited July 31, 2013 by g0at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywhopper Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Yup, I ordered one within a couple of hours of the announcement and still haven't gotten even an estimate on a shipping date. That said, I think this should make streaming DCI to our TVs in 2014 way easier for most people, assuming it works as advertised (always a tricky question).

frachel Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I'll try mine out tonight. Gotta see how it handles full-screen. Hope they look into making a Roku channel for the FN.. it's not that difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUDAKITE Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Yeah. The FN is the first thing i thought of when I saw this on the news. I'm Reeeally interested to know how the quality of the Chrome browser stream is. If you have one, your impressions would be appreciated.

CDUB Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) I tried getting the Internet Explorer on my Xbox 360 to stream, but it wouldn't work because the Xbox 360 version of IE does not include Flash player. Do we know whether Chromecast supports Flash? Edit: Duh. What video formats work with casting a tab from Chrome? Almost every video you can view in your Chrome browser should work, including Flash videos. Video formats that require a other plugins, such as Silverlight and Quicktime, may not work.
