While we may be the go-to folks when it comes to providing high quality cheap 3D TVs and media deals, we like to keep you lucky blighters informed on all the best possible ways to make the most of your tiptop sets. As part of your on-going education we’re providing you with a list of some of the best apps you can download for your Google Chromecast, in an attempt to help you create the ultimate home cinema viewing platform.
In the first part of our series we discussed classics such as Netflix as well as the relative-new boys to the streaming scene, HBO Now, but that’s not where your list of viewables ends!
YouTube
YouTube is a… well, you know what YouTube is! You can download this wealth of video knowledge for free to your Chromecast, enabling you to stream anything from cat videos to moving documentaries straight onto your TV! Another great idea is to set yourself up with a music playlist and search for some form of visuals; this allows you to provide your party with both background music and super-cool background imagery… just an idea!
Rdio is a wonderful little application to help your house-party go off with a bang. It allows you the freedom to select whichever song you’d like as well as enabling you to make playlists as you go, controlling the party from your pocket and becoming DJ-extraordinaire. You can actually download Rdio for free, although you’d need to cough up £10 if you wanted to hear full versions of mainstream tracks.
Plex
The beauty of Plex is that it enables you to turn your TV into an all singing all dancing media centre. It takes movies and TV shows stored on your PC and streams them to your phone which, in turn, can stream this to your Chromecast. This essentially gives you the ability to watch just about any movie or TV show you like right on your TV set!
So with that ability, you’re going to want to make sure you’ve got the best screen possible, right? Well, you know who can help you out there… us!
