Chromecast 1.0 loses connection all the time when you try to stream youtube. Not sure how this makes me feel getting this thing.

I just got slingtv. I am on the fence on if I will keep. It has lots of issues with picture quality and sometimes it blacks out and has to "catch up". I got 3 months so I could get 50% off of the Roku.

I paid full price for this. I suggest that. Sling isn't worth it.

The new version has better wireless antennas.

Sling is looking better and better with the free or discounted streamers they offer.

Though Sling TV seems pretty nice is the new chromecast much better than the old one?
