Have y’all heard of the Chromecast?  The thumb-sized media streaming device that plugs into the HDMI port on your TV?  Ummm, it’s kind of fabulous.  The hubs and I go back and forth on going cable free.  It’s a really tough decision to ‘break-up’ with you cable provider. However, if we ever decide to say goodbye to cable (gulp) — this tiny piece of technology would provide a fantastic alternative.

Everything you love on your tv via Chromecast with livelaughrowe.com
whats to love about the chromecast

It’s EASY!  Simply plug in and play.
It’s REMOTE FREE.  Works with devices you already own! Androids, iPhones, iPads, etc.
It’s COMPACT.  Pack it in your suitcase while away on vacation!

*Please note that subscriptions may be required to use the chromecast with certain content providers.

We jumped right on the binge-watching bandwagon by watching a couple of shows using our new chromecast.  What is binge-watching?  “Binge-watching, also called binge-viewing, is the practice of watching television for longer time spans than usual, usually of a single television show.” (via Wikipedia)

Binge Watching with ChromecastWere those shows you were expecting to see?  {hee-hee}  Watching Breaking Bad was like watching my dad become a meth cook! Seriously.  HA. We loved that show!!!  Steve and I spent whole weekends in front of the television watching one episode after another.

Then there’s Sons of Anarchy.  I had no idea what to expect, but thought it was worth a shot.  Enter TV binge fest #2.  Now every time I hear a motor cycle, my heart goest pitter patter.  All kinds of crazy, but I love every minute of it!

Both shows and all seasons (to date) are available on Netflix.  I highly recommend them both; however, please don’t get preachy if you find them offensive.  It’s a matter of personal preferences, friends!

The possibilities are endless!  Thousand of TV shows, movies, etc!  See everything you can enjoy with your own chromecast.  Pick yours up today at your local Staples store — or online!

Now — who wants to win one?

Enter to win a Google Chromecast at livelaughrowe.comSimply leave a comment telling me your favorite TV show!
Where’s the easy button??  Yes, it’s that easy!  {giggle}

 

Care to stay in the loop? I’d love to have you!

    I’ve been cable-free for about 4 years now. There is just no point paying $80/month when I can watch them online for free.

    My favorite TV show is Grey’s Anatomy, but I also watch SO many others!

    Being that we own a hog – we love watching Sons- incredible writers for that show.

    I will definitely be buying this nifty little thing come football season – so tired of DTV telling me what games I get to watch. Now I can stream it from my phone. Then all I have to do is wait for Google to bring their internet service to our area & I will no longer be tied to these companies that have been strong-arming me for years. 🙂

    Hope you are having a fantastic weekend my dear friend. See you soon (squeal)

    I’ve been interested in Chromecast! So it seems like it’s basically a mini-system, like you can stream Netflix on Xbox or Wii, but those cost a ton of money of course, so instead get a Chromecast which is cheap and gives you access to all the same viewing apps?
