It's amazing how often AirPlay or Apple TV just fail to work, yet switching to Chromecast I get no issues.
Netflix is a Chromecast compatible app buddy.

I would say their app store, it's the actual walled garden problem that people thought Apple's would be. But the hardware has all been fine.What have they made that hasn't been good or successful? The only true flop they've had would be the original Kindle DX.
Actually when my AppleTV is acting up, I switch to the Chromecast for Netflix. It just works.

Well the 3rd gen ones are 1080p, so if your TV is 1080p that could explain the difference since you're not looking at something upscaled from 720p (like the 2nd gen ones).Out of curiosity, what version Apple TV do you have? It might be coincidence, but I just swapped out my Apple TV 2 for a brand new Apple TV 3,2 and have had much better performance than I was having. Less pixelation. The opening credits of House of Cards and Clone Wars (the blue phrase of the episode) were the most obvious places that saw improvement.

As a Prime customer I've only found one thing I'd want to watch on it that isn't already on Netflix.
Yep, and for me it works more times than not via Chromecast than AirPlay or directly on the Apple TV.
I wish Apple made something like this that allowed Airplay to work without an Apple TV and Airport Extreme/Express/Time Capsule.
Battlestar Galactica. That one thing is Battlestar Galactica, isn't it? Isn't it!?![]()
Amazon- a company that tries everything and is good at very few things.
In other words, Amazon, just sell what people give you to sell and stop trying to make your own junk.

Did you even read my comment?
I was saying the e-ink ones are OK, it's the kindle fire and stuff that I can't stand.
Amazons efforts seem pretty good to me, I prefer them as a cheaper alternative to Apple over Google. Kindle seems successful, Amazon Web Services are used everywhere. I'm not really sure what you're talking about. Are you?
As we forgot to cancel our Prime membership, I'm interested in this for streaming TV shows and movies. Looking forward to it.
The e-ink ones are just OK, damn high standards!
SO which book reader do you consider to be excellent???

Apple does make something like this and it IS an AppleTV. It's just $99 and it's great! You don't need anything other than a wireless network to make it work with AirPlay (well, a device to send it AirPlay).
I'm not sure where the Airport Extreme/Express/Time Capsule fit into your question, you don't need those to stream to your AppleTV. I know multiple people with AppleTV just using their basic supplied cable or DSL WiFi to use it (none of those other devices).
