We have a Roku, which does the same thing. But Roku doesn't offer YouTube. I'd love to watch YouTube concert footage on the telly. And for $35, what do you have to lose? If you have a smartphone, you can play Youtube videos on TV via Roku using a free app called "Twonky Beam."

I checked this out. Not quite as slick as Chromecast and the setup is a little more complicated but functionally there is little difference. One would think that Roku would provide their own app and be pushing this given the hit they are likely to take from their new competition.
