For some reason I don’t trust any wireless feed for video/audio to my TV.

I got the impression that “ChromeCast” serves more like a alternative to your cable box, but can be controlled with another device.

If so, and for $35, it seems like a really big deal.

Just curious, why?

Everything that get fed to it comes from my laptop, my lap top is secure, what could be a problem?

I'd like to know if I'm missing something??

To do wireless, you probably have a router. The router is password protected.

I also run the Windows firewall.

That is the direction home peripherals are going.
