      It said this promo code can't be applied to your purchase, from the apps with only this item in cart.

      It’s for existing accounts with no prior purchase on the mobile app. Code can only apply in Amazon app.

      You can’t make a new one either.

    I wonder if this will work with my 15 year old Pioneer plasma. Chromecast doesn’t work (has sound but no picture) but an old gen 1 Apple TV works, but only for YouTube app and Kayo mirrored from my iPhone. For Netflix, Prime video it says HDCP issue. If anyone knows a solution please let me know!

    • Morien on 07/09/2020 - 04:11

      Could always get a hdmi splitter that removes hdcp. You’ll have to google to find one (I don’t know of one off the to of my head, but I do know they exist). That sounds like it’s the problem.

      • wayl on 07/09/2020 - 15:03

        Thanks! Will give this a go.

      • wayl on 03/10/2020 - 16:56

        @Morien, thanks for this. Just to close this off in case someone else reads this and they have the same issue, I ended up with this HDMI splitter from Amazon and it does the trick! I can now watch everything on the old Pioneer plasma. Thanks for all your help. 👍🏼 https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/aw/d/B005HXFARS/ref=cm_cr_srp_m…

      Vodafone TV seems to have all apps except Prime Video, Amazon TV seems to be missing more.

        • crazyperpman on 07/09/2020 - 08:55

          VTV is 4K and has Australian Online Channels, for me it is worth another 23 dollars but if you will not use these this is a better option.

          • boxall on 07/09/2020 - 13:28

              Still worth 33 dollars to have a higher quality and access to Aussie online streaming content to me But if you had an older TV and didnt care about the channels this would be a good option..

      • georgev on 07/09/2020 - 07:21

        Or just cast prime video, as VTV got chrome cast builtin

      • twitch1979 on 07/09/2020 - 11:05

        @jim6893 I know Kayo via VTV has been spoken about for a long time but I still can't see via the Play Store as being officially supported with the VTV.
        I was able to side load it and it seems to work fine but I can't see it as officially supported. I can see bingle but not Kayo.

      • sillyhead on 07/09/2020 - 13:41

        My Vodaphone TV is always losing apps and changing its language to Korean. I think it might be defecting. It dosent help that I move it from a rumpus to an outdoor TV when I want to watch Kayo on the weekends. It dosent seem to like shutting down often perhaps.

        I bought a fire TV stick on this deal for the outdoor TV as I pretty much only use Kodi (and the Kayo plug in) anyway and can sideload that.

      • Korban Dallas on 07/09/2020 - 13:54

        • NigelTufnel on 07/09/2020 - 12:02

          I certainly wouldn't. I bought a Fire stick while in north america. Brought it home. A bunch of stuff is locked down unless you use a US account/VPN, not as many apps as google store. Unplugged and it's been sitting in a box since then.
          Ponied up for a shield, and it's well worth the extra money if you have it. If you don't stick with chomecast so long as you don't mind using your phone/tablet to cast things instead of a remote and UI.

          • jayboi on 07/09/2020 - 12:06
            +3

            @NigelTufnel: Yours is a US model so there is no comparison, of course its locked down because its in a country it wasn't made to be used in, let someone with a Australian model answer their question

            • NigelTufnel on 07/09/2020 - 14:50

              @jayboi: You're right. It's supposed to be better than this, but using it in Aus with an Aus based account just turns it into this model. The model I have has a microphone and should be able to be voice controlled, but they just turn that off here, so it's just like this model with no microphone, and other functions. I've talked to friends, and it works exactly the same as theirs.

              If you could get the version available in north america, and it worked the same as it does there, it would be worth upgrading. But the current Australian offering is crap, and I don't personally see it as worth an upgrade. YMMV though.

              At least I could pair the remote I got with my shield. The remote is actually pretty good!

  • Art Vandaley on 07/09/2020 - 08:05

    I've got the Amazon Firestick and there is no search function (for apps on the amazon app store), although the US version does have a search function. Its weird.

    • redcreek200 on 07/09/2020 - 13:33

      Maybe depends where you initially register your account ??
      My rokus are like that - to get the search function on the device you need to initially register as if you're in the US (with vpn). That's the only time the vpn is needed. Only suggest this as maybe firestick is similar.

      I have a 65" 4K TV but am still using 1080k sources. Still looks great to me. I haven't switched to 4K yet because I have the 4th gen Apple TV which is only 1080p. But in a couple of years I'll upgrade to the newest Apple TV 4K. Unfortunately my 65" TV is a budget model and doesn't have any HDR. Regardless my NBN service doesn't have the bandwidth for 4K, it struggles with streaming regular HD sometimes.

    Sorry for a naive question - if I browse Netflix, Prime and YouTube on my mobile normally and cast it to TV absolutely seamlessly via Chromecast just with one click (when I want to watch the content on tv), then which other benefit will this device offer me? I like the price buy I am trying find a convincing use case to buy it. :)

      Quickly pausing, playing, rewinding and fast-forwarding without having to screw around with your phone/apps.

      It's impressive Google's marketing convinced people a remote-less Chromecast is an acceptable UX. Thankfully they've woken up and will soon be dumping the Chromecast.

      • virhlpool on 07/09/2020 - 10:36

        Makes sense. I reckon Chromecast's main use is to watch your mobile/ tablet content on a 'bigger screen' and it has definitely served the purpose. It has limitations but I loved its simplicity when I bought it 5 yrs back.

  • TheDukeOfNukem on 07/09/2020 - 10:57

    I'm looking at buying one, and I see it has a power cable, not gonna lie, I haven't bothered Googling bc the OzB comm usually knows what's up anyway, but

    1. Can I get away with plugging a micro USB into it's power socket and using the TV's USB port as it's power source? I've got away with this for a PS Vita TV, PS Classic, and NES Mini.
    2. Can someone CONFIRM if Kodi can be sideloaded? I see a fair few comments saying you should be able to, but no one saying definitively. And if so, does it have the right widevine support to watch Foxtel and the AFL app through it?

    Also yes, I know a VTV shits all over it, but for 29 bucks with the app voucher, I think I'll be right.
