Chromecast or similar
robbra

Hi,
I have a Panasonic plasma with only 2 hdmi sockets and one is filled with my Yamaha receiver. I would like to have Chromecast or similar but as it seems they need two sockets can I power it from a spare on the receiver?
Also are the cheaper types on line less good or are there drawbacks? I have a chromebook and windows 7 laptops so either can be used.
Many thanks

Chromecast only needs 1 HDMI. It is powered either from a USB on your TV, or using the supplied mains adaptor.
