I have Chromecast and a Firestick and we use the Firestick more than the Chromecast, but the Chromecast has proven valuable for some things. We have a OTA HD antennae and that gets us all the Broadcast stations (I think we have 54 total OTA) and we do have NetFlix and SlingTV. I can watch Sling on my phone and my desktop if the wife or kids are watching something else. I also have a NAS and use Comcast (bought my own modem and router) for the Internet. No wired phone service and I use Google Voice for the business phone. All in all, very happy and saving a lot of money.

The only content I could not get was Outdoor and Sportsman channel, but they are going to have an app for that in January, so I will be set.

We did get a Tablo, and frankly we do not use it very much. We did initially and still do for a few shows, but more and more stuff is available over the internet so recording OTA shows is not a big deal. If you want to record sports from broadcast, it is a good option.
