I'm not sure how this works....
Here at the house I use my M90 Laptop Computer setup which has two 24-inch monitor screens to watch streaming video from any number of on-line sources MOPVIDEO - CBS TV SHOWS - WATCH-TV SERIES etc... On FRIDAY NIGHTS I like to watch the GOLD RUSH on Discover Channel but this is also at the same time CBS is running Hawaii 5-0 and BLUEBLOOD.. I watch the GOLD RUSH then Sat morning I downstream the latest TV SHOWs 5-0 and BLUE BLOOD. The quality could be better if my LAPTOP was connected to the VIZIO HDMI input I guess... Would this GOOGLE CHROMECAST unit help me here... Probably would be cheaper to just get the proper HDMI cable to go between the DELL M90 DOcking Station and the HDMI video input on the VIZIO TV but I have run out of ports on the docking station to do this...
Since I carry all of this on trips with my OFF-ROAD POPUP setup I can do the same thing back off the power grid somewhere. All I need is an internet connection.
Does The GOOGLE CHROMECAST require a monthly fee to use it or is the fee associated with the downstream method you use to capture the TV VIDEO downstreams... ??? i.e. I want to replace my HDMI cable connection to the VIZIO TV input with WIFI using the GOOGLE CHROMECAST device ???
Also wondering if the WIFI connections for the GOOGLE CHROMECAST interferes with the normal WIFI connection signals my cable router uses to connect to all of my devices here.
For $35 this would be a great standalone WIFI input connection for my house VIZIO TV video setup.
