I could never get my parents to use a ps3 or 360 or whatever to watch netflix, and them looking vod meant using a crappy service that let them download files into their own &quot;media player&quot;. Since they have a chromecast, all they need to do is open whatever they want on their tablet and press a button.<p>As for myself, I use to it to stream my video games on TV using the &quot;stream entire screen&quot; option in google cast extension in chrome.
