The easiest way to enjoy online video and music on your TV. With Chromecast, you can easily enjoy your favorite online entertainment on your HDTV—movies, TV shows, music, and more from Netflix, YouTube, Google Play, and Chrome. No more huddling around small screens and tiny speakers. Chromecast automatically updates to work with a growing number of apps. Chromecast works with devices you already own, including Android tablets and smartphones, iPhones®, iPads®, Chrome for Mac® and Chrome for Windows®. Browse for what to watch, control playback, and adjust volume using your device. You won’t have to learn anything new.

I will also cover some interesting work-arounds for the ChromeCast stick.

Plus our weekly free apps and software recommendations.

Welcome to The Gadget Professor Show #119 hosted by Don Baine.

We’ve Got Technology Covered! The Gadget Professor Show – a proud member of the Tech Podcast Network!

With a unique, compact design, the XtremeMac™ BT Connect receiver allows music lovers the ability to unleash music wirelessly, turning a previously non-Bluetooth portable speaker system into a wireless one.

Both the XtremeMac BT Connect and BT Home Connect receivers utilize AAC Codec – the standard format for mobile Apple products, to achieve better sound quality than Sub-Band Coding Codec (SBC) format. After initial set-up, the XtremeMac BT Connect and BT Home Connect receivers remember your mobile device’s Bluetooth connection for easy access, with an LED indicator that confirms connectivity.
