Amazon has a 25-foot HDMI cable for $6.99 and the mini-HDMI adapter for $2.22. My first reaction was to pick up an HDMI cable and a mini-HDMI adapter that could plug into my laptop.
PROBLEMS WITH GOOGLE CHROMECAST SETUP MOVIE
I’m not a fan of the idea of streaming anything across my wireless network because, simply put, I know how unreliable wireless can be when it comes to heavy-duty content, and I wasn’t thrilled about the notion of watching a movie that cuts out just as John McClane utters the phrase “Yippee-Kay.”

We don’t do Netflix or streaming audio/video our DVR unit and rented DVDs from Redbox (or borrowed discs from the library) is more our territory. I should state up front our multimedia needs are neither complex nor demanding. After all, technology is there to make our lives easier and when you work in the field it behooves you to stay on the cutting edge (although that edge can hurt sometimes, as you’ll see).

My wife and I have an extensive video library containing footage of our trips with the kids visits to Disney, family holidays and wilderness outings. Read about some challenges setting it up and suggestions to make it work.
