Should I buy the Chromecast or the Streamer?

Should I buy the Chromecast or the Streamer?

Probably eventually both 🙂 

Chomecast is a dongle, Streamer is more of a set top box solution.

Chromecast is cheaper and they will likely be selling them off even cheaper in coming months.
It does the job and is great to get a few more years of life out of your older TV.
