No, chromecast 'casts' content from a device to the TV, a ROKU has 'apps' (channels), including Netflix and is connected to the internet by wifi or Ethernet. Works really well. The RKU (here) has upwards of 35000 channels to choose from of varying content and quality. I use HULU rather than Netflix as it has better TV offerings.

I don't think an elderly person will get on with chromecast but should be ok with a ROKU or Amazon Firestick or AppleTV. I know that because the MIL knows how to use them! Smile | :)
