Q: QuestionWhy Chromecast if most streaming services are supported by my TiVo and DVD player?Between my aging TiVo Premier and Panasonic DVD player, I have built-in apps to stream Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, YouTube, Cinema Now, Amazon Instant Video, and others. Why would I otherwise use Chromecast other than directly displaying occasional live content from a PC or Android device? Just checking to see if I'm missing something in my understanding! Thanks.
