At £30, Google's Chromecast is definitely the cheapest way to turn your TV into a smart TV but if you pick one up at Amazon you'll also get £4.99 of free Google Play credit to spend on apps. Meaning you won't be limited to Google's pre-installed apps
Chromecast is able to mirror video and picture content from your smartphone or tablet, you can also put nearly any web page through Google's Chrome web browser on a laptop or desktop - great for accessing web-based streaming services.
There are a quite few apps which come pre-installed, including iPlayer, Netflix, Plex, Vevo and Youtube - but unlike many other streaming boxes or dongles that are locked down, Google has opened up the Chromecast software to developers to experiment with, meaning there will lots more apps are becoming available all the time.
All this for £30? Seems like a bit of a no brainer. Just slot it into your TV!
