Chromecast with Google TV //
Chromecast makes it easy to stream app content from your smartphone, tablet, or even your computer with the Chrome browser to a big TV screen. Note that Android TV televisions and boxes also integrate Chromecast technology, called Google Cast. Whether you are on Android or iOS, many applications allow you to take direct advantage of your Chromecast.
If you've been offered a Chromecast and you're not sure what to do with it, here's our pick of the best apps to have for a roundup of the different uses available to you.
Classic TV channels
You don't have a TV box, but a simple TNT tuner, or even a simple screen that you only use to play video games? Do not panic ! Your Chromecast paired with the Molotov app will give you the ability to watch live TV channels. Two things to know that said: some features such as recording programs require a paid subscription and TF1 group channels are not available on Chromecast via Molotov.
Molotov

This is particularly the case with Spain.tv which includes the channels of the Spain Televisions group (Spain 2, Spain 3, Spain 4, Spain 5 and Spain Ô) or Arte TV.
Obviously, we cannot forget the MyCanal application, from Canal +. This allows non-subscribers to access unscrambled live and delayed programs, access VoD programs (paid) and TV guides.
