We are watching Netflix and YouTube

With the help of the little device we bought at Costco called Chromecast, we plugged it into the back of the TV here in Costa Rica, and logged into the wireless Internet.   The difficulties lie when you plug in the Chromecast into the back of the TV. You have to find the HDMI entry point, then plug the Chromecast  into an electrical outlet nearby (Ha!) log into the router through your iPhone or  iPad, Open up the comcacast app on your iPhone or iPad, once you plug in the Chromecast, the app knows it's device is in the area!! and it's a very easy step-by-step to set up after that. The beauty of this little device is: from your iPad or your iPhone Once you bring up YouTube or Netflix on your press the little square box pictured below on the screen of your phone or iPad it makes what seems like a Bluetooth connection...then it will cast any video on either one of those apps. So we've been watching "Luther" on Netflix and I watch some of the crafting videos on YouTube! Technology is not too far behind here!

This is the little square.
