Why use three devices (laptop, Chromecast, and TV) to watch a movie on TV
when you can use two (Roku and TV), and not have to get up and go to go
pause the program on your laptop because it doesnt have a remote? I just
have to sit down, turn on the tv, and use the remote for my device, same as
I would the tv remote.
