How MarketCast runs on the Chromecast with Google TV

MarketCast picks its display mode from the memory in your particular model, so the two versions get different modes.

  • Despite the name, you install MarketCast on the Chromecast with Google TV like an app on a phone, from Google Play. You are not casting to it.
  • The HD model has 1.5 GB of memory, below the line where MarketCast turns on its lighter display mode. Prices, charts, news and lists work the same on both.
  • If you are replacing one, the Google TV Streamer is Google's successor.

What you get, free and in Premium

  • Free: the market stream, business news, price charts, market movers, a portfolio and a watch list, and forex on the ticker tape. Supported by commercials and sponsors.
  • Premium: no commercials, real-time stock prices, crypto around the clock, unlimited custom lists, portfolio news, a daily brief, premium stream scenes, the Stock Wall and Market Desk, and more.

Premium is billed through your TV's app store, which shows the current price for your region. See the plans page for the full comparison.
