You can get a chrome cast for about $35, but you have to watch through your device (phone or tablet)
If you want something that does not require a device (phone or tablet), get an amazon stick ($50) or apple tv ($99). These are operated with a simple remote control and do not require any additional device like a phone or tablet
In that set up the remote is the additional device isn't it? With chromecast the device is the remote and it's cheaper, if that matters.
Yeah I guess it technically is A remote
Im just saying you can use the amazon stick independent if any other device, and if you do only have one device, then it isn't tied up when you are talking on the phone, or vice versa
On the other hand, with chromecast that's just one less remote laying around
But Some people may just want separate remotes and devices, ie a remote for the boob tube, and a smartphone or tablet for talking, texting, or whatever
I've actually had both. The chrome cast is cool, but IMO the amazon stick is easier to use. You use it just like a regular remote
