Hi guys, I just found a gadget that helps users to do video streaming on an ordinary tv set. I want to share this and hope it will be a great help to you.
Did it come to your mind to watch an video streaming online? But, you realize that you don't have the enough resources to do so? Like you want to watch youtubeTV or netflix or mirror video from you smartphone to your tv? Well, it will be possible if you had a smartTV. What if you want have a smartTV, does it mean that you can't do this? (smartTV is expensive). The answer is still you can do all of this with having a smartTV.
Let me introduce to you the "Chrome Cast". It is a digital media player developed by Google.

Thank you for posting on Steemhunt!
However, your post has been delisted on Steemhunt because it does not meet the following
posting guidelines.
Steemhunt is about cool "new" products. Please make sure that your hunt is something recently introduced. If the product is not new, there must be a strong reason to post. For example, the product must be substantially updated or upgraded in a way that has a positive effect on users. Even though the set period of time to define whether it is newly launched is subjective, the moderators may ask if the product is widely considered to be a “new product” (or substantially updated).
In Steemhunt, the coolness is decided by hunter’s upvotes. If many people think that a product is really cool, then the ranking is likely to be higher than other products. However, all products that are hunted in the first place should be somewhat cooler than other products. When a hunter decides to introduce the product to our community, it must not be a generic product. It should have some killer features that make people say “wow.” If your product is considered to be ordinary, the moderators may hide your hunt.
Please read our Posting Guideline here
Please note that since we can not predict every possible product, category, and/or situation, our moderation team will have the final say on all approved and/or delisted posts and will be prepared to give an explanation regarding why a product has been delisted.
Our main goal is to uphold a quality posting and product standard for hunters and visitors alike and all decisions will be made with fairness and objectivity.
