G+_Ebuka Daniel Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Google Chromecast IS NOT a direct competitor to Roku and Apple TV. Frankly, I'm surprised there are so many articles stacking them up against one another. Chromecast involves the use of a second device (ie smartphone, tablet, laptop) to initiate its use. Roku, Apple TV, and other set top boxes can stand alone. I personally would like to see a Chromecast receiver app implemented on all of these set top boxes in much the same way that the Slingbox Player app has been able to run on devices like the NetGear NeoTV and Google TV. I'd love to hear your thoughts on such an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
