For a long time we had a Logitech Revue and loved it, but it just stopped working in the fall. Logitech discontinued the Revue, so I was looking for something to replace it with. I got a Chromecast for Christmas. It's all right, but not quite what I was looking for. We tried watching one movie projected from my Samsung Note 5 and the quality wasn't the best. I haven't really had a chance to use it since, so I'm still on the fence. I will have to try it from my laptop. Any suggestions would be great. The Revue came with a full keyboard and was more of a smart box. You could install apps from the google play store and use it, pretty much, like a tablet. Is the Roku or Amazon Fire TV equivalent to that?
