Re: Another Amazon deal of the day: Roku 3500R Streaming Stick(HDMI) - PRE-ORDER

[Jon Paris <jon.paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don't misunderstand my comments Booth.  When I was able to use the Chromecast on two of my home networks it performed beautifully and I was very happy with it and impressed with the price/capability. 

But I already had an Apple TV in one location and a Roku in the other. Both were a bit bulky for travel so I bought the Chromecast for travel - because of the way hotel systems work it just will not function in that environment with "messing about". I'm often on a hotel for just a day or two - I need a ply-an-play solution and in that regard only it failed.
