El Apple TV in Spain It does not have the same services and channels that we find in other territories such as the United States, making Apple's set-top box a more incomplete product that may raise doubts about whether to buy it or not.
For a much more affordable price, Google's Chromecast can serve as an alternative in some cases, as in the reproduction of multimedia content by streaming. We lose other features such as mirror video but as I said, the outlay is about 32 euros compared to 99 euros for Apple TV.

we hope that Apple TV noticeably improves in 2015, becoming a more capable product both at the software and hardware level. Meanwhile, we can enjoy Apple TV concepts like the one we saw a few days ago and which offered us a completely redesigned interface based on multi-touch gestures from an Apple Remote with trackpad.
For me the Apple TV is dead. Apple has not taken a step forward for a long time and signs in Pro of this device. Google ChromeCast has passed its hand in front of it, at a price of a third of the Apple TV and with a really amazing quality. It is also as easy to use as connecting a USB », in this case an HDMI connect to Wifi and enjoy. Some time ago I bought the AppleTv and I have only had the ChromeCast for 1 week. I sincerely regret that I got to buy the AppleTV. Perhaps, in the Apple world, we expect more for the fact of paying more and this is not always the case. As you say, I hope Apple finds out and gives it a push because otherwise I think a lot that this current AppleTV is going to be the last.

Apple in this sense already has the losing battle, since it is not only the ChromeCast, but there are a multitude of Android TV's that you connect to the TV and use the computer TV practically, even to watch free pay TV with a multitude of applications console emulators etc ...
honestly we will not be able to have this on appletv…. therefore, for me it is the best option for TV!
Simple question, I have a TV that does not have USB to watch movies, with this could I solve the ballot?
Yes, because you can connect it through the hdmi port of the tv and the power source goes into the wall socket.
So even if you don't have a usb port; if it worked for you
Google chrome for iOS does not support chromecast, only on android it works in mirror
Apple TV is the best buy. Airplay is the best and with the correct application you can enjoy all the movies and series that exist. Very satisfied. I see the photos of the cows, movies, series and some other itunes rental movie that is at a good price. Everything controlled from the iphone, ipad and pc.
Try the Tronsmart T2000 EZCast Pro MHL that is about € 42 in dealextreme and you download the ezcastpro app, which has options such as airplay and mirror «the famous apple tv mirror mode» much better quality price than chromecast (all its compatible apps work )
