I love my Chromecast.... I use it to cast web streams to my TV or to cast video files I want to play off my laptop to the TV without having to connect a flash drive or external hard drive.
Stock Google Chrome can play MP4s and you can cast the tab to your TV, but there is a Videocast app that will play just about anything and cast to the TV.
For 30-40$ Chromecast is well worth it.

My favorite teams
I dig the chromecast. Only issue is that I can't use it on the TV in my basement because the wifi sucks, but that's not the chromecast's fault.

I want to get rid of DirecTV so badly, because it is stupid expensive, but I am not local to Chicago and I have to have it to get the Ticket. Its a stupid budget cost just for the bears games (and the Fiance demands the Walking Dead) If I could find an easy way around it I would.

Damn you sound exactly like me, I hate the price but need it to watch the bears games and my fiancé is a diehard walking dead fan which is why she likes having it.

I am patiently for the days of open choices on television. You want AMC and the NFL Ticket thats what you pay for. None of this buying a package crap that we have now. I want a la carte!!

No that you cannot do.... usually within 10 mins of an episode airing it will be released on public torrents, stripped of commercials.
Lol I torrent all of my shows, in large part cause they come out stripped of commercials.

BearShare?
:cringe:
Yes you need to get into the torrent world.... 10293820938210983091238 times better than fucking BearShare or Limewire or any of that junk.
But srs if you get to torrenting stuff.... get a subscription to Private Internet Access.... it is a solid VPN service.... you only torrent when on the VPN.... copyright people send infringement notices to PIA and they reply "Mkay cool it was one of our users, but we don't log user activity as a policy, what we sell is anonymity... so gtfo"
If you just torrent off ur ISP they will log ur IP and you will get infringement notices from your ISP reported from your IP.
Once you torrent an episode of a show or movie you will have an MP4 or MKV video file and you can play that with Chromecast or the Videocast app in Google Chrome and cast it to your TV.

Hmm could def probably sell her on that especially with the no commercials. We are moving this summer so we might just leave our Directtv behind.

www.slingtv.com, that's what I use for cable. Cutting the cord with cable because we never watch it. Although, I live in Iowa and am able to pick up the Bears games through an HD Antenna.

The antenna works great to pick up the local channels which is usually what the bears are on. When the bears play on ESPN, I can watch through Sling. I've never looking into an HD Pirate stream. Is it easily accessible?

The web hosted ones are easy.... the amazing HD ones you have to do through a VLC style media player app that I am forgetting the name of right now.
Those nice HD streams I have not worked out the setup to get them to play to Chromecast... but web streams that play just like a youtube video are easy.... the web streams are not always top notch HD though.
