Have The Chromecast Up And Running

2014-04-17 Thread Dane Trethowan
Subject line says it all, the Chromecast Set Top box is now up and running.

The setup was easy enough using the Chromecase App available from the IOS Apps 
Store, there are Apps for the PC and Mac though I don't know how accessible 
these are so what I'm about to describe is totally from the perspective of an 
IOS user.

The setup involves you searching for the Chromcast which has its own Wi-Fi 
network, you then join this on your iPhone, the Chromecast App follows the 
progress.

From here you configure the Chromecast's basic settings such as the name, the 
Wi-fi network the Chromecast should connect to and so on, further setting 
adjustments can be made from the Chromecast App after the basic setup is 
complete.

From the Chromecast App is where all the action takes place, its where you 
discover "Chromecast Apps" such as Youtube, Rdio, Google Play and so on, these 
are available from the Apps Store and The Chromecast will take you straight to 
the appropriate Chrome Apps pages with the tap of a button.

So what is a Chromecast? Put simply its a stick similar to a USB memory stick, 
one end plugs into a HDMI socket whilst the other plugs into a USB port for 
power, in other words the Chromecast is specifically designed to plug into the 
back of a TV for the specific purpose of converting that device into a "Smart 
Television".

There is little processing power in the Chromecast because your iPhone or other 
device does all that and this gives the Chromecast a huge price advantage over 
its competition, I picked one up for $40 Australian Dollars.

So far with the Chromecast I've explored and played videos through it to my 
Denon AVR2113 surround-sound receiver which is connected via HDMI to my Samsung 
Television, I've used the Rdio App to search for and play various songs etc, 
the exploration will continue today as I'm anxious to try ABC iView and BBC 
iPlayer Apps, today Good Friday presents the perfect opportunity, Happy Easter 
to you all.

Can't wait to read reviews on these, I can only hope that I'm not disappointed 
this time around and those who do the reviews find little to fault?

Hi Tom and all
I had similar issues on my lists, I have re-enabled affected members on 
there. I'm also unsubscribing and resubscribing those still affected via 
a report they send into me.


Regards Chris

Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof!

Ladies and gentlemen,

For the past few days there has been problems with the PC
Audio e-mail list not being available. Also, there were
around one hundred sixty e-mail addresses that were disabled
due to too many bounced messages. I have restored all the
disabled subscribers, one at a time.

I hope the problems are behind us. If not, I am looking at
alternatives.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I was disabled from the blind attic list for excessive bounces.  When I
contacted GoDaddy, who hosts my email account, I was told they were on a 24
hour block by one of the spam lists.  He said there about 80 of those lists
so I don't know what can be done about this problem but something needs to
be done.
