The Google Chromecast is a handy little gadget that has been hanging around for a little while now, I feel it deserves a post as it’s something that I do not think is common knowledge. The gadget is around £30 and allows you to turn your ordinary TV into a smart TV.

The Google Chromecast allows you to display your phone or tablet to your TV screen as long as your TV has a HDMI port.
Plug the Chromecast into your HDMI port and download the ‘Google Home’ app to your phone or tablet. The app will recognise the Chromecast and it takes about 5 minutes to setup. All you have to do then is use your phone or tablet as a remote. The app is available on both iOS and Android phones but can also be used with your Windows laptops, Macs or chromebooks.
As the Chromecast is a product of Google the functionality is a bit more seamless on an Android phone but the iPhone’s do work pretty well too.
The beauty of this is that you can watch all of your favourite streaming channels such as Netflix, Amazon Prime and YouTube. As well as this you can catch up on your favourite TV programmes using BBC iplayer, 4OD and ITV Player.
