Well, it's new to us. We just bought google chr ome ca st for all our tvs. The tv needs to have an hdmi port.
It's $35 and it allows you to broad'cast' whatever is on your laptop, android phone or tablet and works with ipad (limited). On everything but the apple devices, it allows you to cast whatever is on the screen of your device to the tv! If guests have a netflix account, they can stream movies on their smart phones, etc and it will show on the big tv in their room.
Has anyone used this yet? We just set the first one up in our owners quarters and it's working great. We have unlimited internet, so we don't have to worry about how many gigs are being used.
For our ipad, there needs to be an app for netflix, youtube, hulu, etc. it won't broadcast from chrome browser.
If it's a hit with our guests, we might sign up for a netflix account for just the inn. I'm not letting guests go onto my own account.
