They are $35 usd at best buy in the states so if you are going to Colorado you might want to try a best buy there

I bought mine from the states a while ago. It's kinda useless for me especially when I have an Apple TV. Streaming non-youtube video is choppy with my router and both sources within 10 feet of each other.

Finally played around with my Chromecast.
lots of fun. I use Show box app and Avia to send the stream to my CC.
Show box (Android)is essentially popcorn time, but likely/definately pirating. do so at your own risk
Avia allows you to stream from personal server or on device media. not free but found at play store for $3
I can stream HD content flawlessly. Asus AC68U router.
i bring the CC to work sometimes to watch shows on the big tv at work. ghetto wifi but still stream 1080P video from phone.

you can also use chrome browser from your PC to stream videos without buying an app. drag and drop mk4 file in to the browser and click on the 'cast' icon.

the only thing I can do with my chromecast with my computer is mirroring my chrome browser onto the TV. hoping I can find a way to play other formats as well. Quote:

Anyone have issues with theirs? Even though nothing is changed or removed, I almost always have to unplug it several times to get it to work the next day, or run through initial set up again.

Posted via RS Mobile | nope, there's something wrong with yours. I've never had to unplug my Chromecast or reboot it. Ever.

^ Ditto, mine does disconnect from wifi on occasion, but my wireless has always had issues with all devices.
Havent used it to its full potential yet, but it keeps my parents entertained now that they can cast youtube videos of songs onto the tv.
