Which Casting Device To Choose?
I have an old Google Chromecast (stick style) and it works fine. I want to get another cast device for a second not-smart TV that has HDMI ports. My 5-year old Chromecast satisfies my simple needs even though I read some people don't like Chromecast because it requires WiFi. For now I will always be using WiFi.
So I was shopping on Amazon and I see Chromecast now has a third generation that dangles instead of a stick and a third generation Ultra. And then there is Roku that seems to be all the rage. And I see there are all sorts of knock-off Chromecast imitations, both first and third gen style. It looks like the third generation Chromecast is not much more expensive and it looks like the knock-offs are not much cheaper.
Which would you recommend I buy as my second Chromecast? I really don't want to have to learn a lot of new dances to get it connected. I already know the original dance.
