On its way. Will let you guys know what its like. Anyone use one? Any thoughts?

Nice! Will be really interested to hear how you get on with it. I was looking at Miracast dongles as an alternative to something like this

Gonna get the chromecast when its official(ie cheap, lol) in the UK. Looking forward to getting this though. At that price its worth a punt. NFS: Most Wanted and Ashphalt 8 should look good on the big screen :-)

i'm more bothered about using it as a portable media player. don't really want to have to carry another phone or tab to use as a remote tho, so i was more interested in miracast....

Our TV is knocking on and the missus wants iPlayer (we only have freeview) so the chromecast seems a potentiality good choice. currently only on copper wire broadband though as fibre not yet in the village so will investigate nearer the time. Will look into miracast though :-)

ever since the nexus 4 i have really wanted to try out miracast, would be cool playing games on the big screen wireless

 

I'm thinking of getting one of these  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-HD-1080P-150Mbps-Wifi-Direct-Dongle-HDMI-to-HDTV-Miracast-Screebeam-/181214842919?pt=UK_Computing_Other_Computing_Networking&hash=item2a313f1027

got my slimport. doesn't work at all on TV in lounge. works on daughters bedroom TV for about a minute then loses signal. tried different HDMI leads to no avail. gonna try on mum n dads TV which is newer when I get time. will update the thread with any news. any ideas? too much hassle sending it back to HK for what I paid for it. if it doesn't work think I'll go the miracast route.
