    iHeart Radio Constant Card

    I've been seeing this too, and it happens when iHeartRadio is no open or playing music. The would be no activity at all, but the notification card comes up on my watch. I can dismiss it, but it will come back later, even if I don't launch iHeartRadio at all. I haven't seen any other app do...

    No Video Through Onkyo TX-SR607 Reciever

    They aren't "modes," just the labels for the inputs. My Onkyo receiver has input settings which lets me choose from a list of names for each input. It doesn't really matter what they're called, it makes no difference other than what he display shows.

    Multiple Netflix Promo Redemption

    I got one from Google and one from Best Buy. They both sent me e-mails almost instantly with the code, and Best Buy also had it on the receipt.

    Got Slingbox to cast with Chromecast

    I've had a Slingbox for years and it's been great for when I'm not home, or in my bedroom which doesn't have a TV. I've been thinking about getting rid of cable, and this could be a way. I could pay for my mom to get an extra cable box and put a Slingbox in her house. All I would need to keep...

    does Chromecast have a built-in screen saver or auto power-off?

    No problem. I'm not really concerned, I'm sure it was designed that way. It has no moving parts to burn out and I'm sure uses very little energy when idle. Besides, most electronic devices these days are really always on to some degree even when they're turned "off."

    No Video Through Onkyo TX-SR607 Reciever

    Maybe the issue has something to do with using DVI. I have an my Chromecast connected to an Onkyo receiver which is connected to my TV by HDMI and have no problems. Others have posted about success with connecting through a receiver too.

    Re: Chromecast Compatible Apps [23Jul - Play Music,Movies,Netflix,Hulu,Rdio,HBO GO] I don't think it goes back out to the internet, but it's definitely the mirroring that's different. Instead of the Chromecast streaming from the provider directly, the data still goes to Chrome on the PC then...

    does Chromecast have a built-in screen saver or auto power-off?

    Haha, I still haven't been able to train him to keep quiet. I noticed the background image on the ready to cast screen changes periodically, but the text doesn't. This is what I used. LCD Screen Burn In Fix / Stuck Pixel Fix 9 Hours Long - YouTube

    Re: Chromecast Compatible Apps [23Jul - Play Music,Movies,Netflix,Hulu,Rdio,HBO GO] I don't think it gets poor WiFi reception in general. I've had no trouble with Youtube and Netflix stream with no problem. It's only the Chrome extension that gives me trouble.

    Chromecast Compatible Apps [10 apps added]

    Re: Chromecast Compatible Apps [23Jul - Play Music,Movies,Netflix,Hulu,Rdio,HBO GO] The Chromecast extension occasionally tells me it's low. But it shouldn't, because the Chromecast is three feet from my router and my laptop is in the same room and Windows shows full bars.

    does Chromecast have a built-in screen saver or auto power-off?

    I really wish it did. I fell asleep last night at the "ready to cast" screen and woke up to find the text burned into my plasma TV. Thankfully I played a Youtube video for fixing burn in and stuck pixels and it seems to have fixed it. Every other device I have that connects to my TV has a...

    Chromecast Compatible Apps [10 apps added]

    Re: Chromecast Compatible Apps [23Jul - Play Music,Movies,Netflix,Hulu,Rdio,HBO GO] I just set up my Chromecast and mirroring a Chrome tab is extremely laggy. I tried to watch HBO GO this way and while it "works" it's not really watchable.

    [VIDEO] Unlock, Root, & Clockwork for the Nexus 7 Tablet

    Yeah something definitely got screwed up with my permissions even though I'm using an administrator account which shouldn't have a problem. I started over with a different computer and didn't have any problems other than supersu not pushing out. But I copied it manually and then flashed with...
