shomi now available via Chromecast

shomi's streaming video service is available via Chromecast so users can enjoy the videos and TV shows on any Chromecast connected HDTV or projector.

“Even before we launched, Chromecast was on our shomi roadmap as a must-have for our service and I’m delighted that we’re now able to deliver this experience to our members,” said Ann Tebo, Director, Product Management, shomi. “With Chromecast, Apple TV, and Xbox 360, there are now three Internet-connected ways for customers to get great shomi content on the big screen.”

“We’re thrilled that Canadians will now be able to access all their favourite shomi programming on Chromecast,” said Suveer Kothari, Director of Chromecast Partnerships, Google. “Chromecast lets you watch everything you love to stream on the screen of your choice, and with the new shomi app, it’s never been easier to enjoy top shows on the biggest screen in your home.”
