USB port to power chromecast

Hello there, 

 

I would like to get Google chromecast but I would like to use my USB port on my TV to power the Google Chromecast. Is this possible? 

I have 3 USB ports on the back of my Sony (model number: kd55x7000g )TV each of which provides 5V and max 500mA of power. 

 

Would this be sufficient to power the Chromecast unit?

Hi gdaymate_au,

For Chromecast with Google TV, as long as a USB port on your TV can provide 5 Volt DC, 1.5 amp, no problem with that at all.
