        Because you are paying full price for Netflix, that negates the deal. Half priced netflix via Argentina. I am paying $7.39 something/month for top tier. Signing up to Australian Netflix I will be paying $19 something/month. So there goes the “savings” from that “deal”

            @Gr8deel: Not if you are accessing it from Australia. It’s like using VPN, but you are not using VPN

        • Ice009 on 15/03/2021 - 16:03

          Are you sure you're paying that much for Argentina on the highest plan? I had a subscription through Argentina, but I have to cancel the subscription towards the end of last year due to the price going up due to a tax. I was paying $6 or so, but after the tax it went up to $10 or something for just the standard plan.

            • Ice009 on 15/03/2021 - 22:26

              @Pricebeat: That's pretty great price. Is that already converted to AUD? If so, what happened to the Argentine tax that came in a few months ago? Did you ever get charged over $10 a few months ago?

              • Pricebeat on 15/03/2021 - 23:09

                @Ice009: Yeah that’s AUD. I got charged $10 last January and February 2020. I thought that was because of AUD value being low. Since then it’s been around $7-$8. Mostly $7. Still over half the price than Australian prices.

                • Ice009 on 16/03/2021 - 23:08

                  @Pricebeat: I went into the Netflix thread, and it seems you're somehow getting it cheaper than anyone else with an Argentina subscription.

                  Have a look here : https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/608762

                  I wonder how you're avoiding paying the tax. I wouldn't make any changes as you're getting the best deal I've seen through Argentina and maybe even overall. I wonder if it's to do with your credit card not charging those taxes for some reason.

          No, it's the same apps.

          This is mainly useful if you don't have a smart tv or your smart tv is too crap to install the latest apps.

        Mine is Android TV but the performance is garbage. CCwGTV is much faster. I just have the occasional issue with the sound coming out as stereo instead of 5.1 for some reason, but that might be a Plex issue not an issue with the CC.

      Samsung's Tizen UI is sh*t, looking for anything to replace it

    • superveggies on 11/03/2021 - 17:22

      In addition to what others have mentioned:
      Getting a dumb TV and adding a Chromecast is usually way cheaper than getting a smart TV.
      Also smart TVs get outdated pretty fast - not a problem if you use a Chromecast. More frequent updates, replaceable if needed.
      My smart TV doesn't have a "Binge" app for example. So I have to get one of these anyway if I want to watch Binge.
      Also if your TV breaks, it's way cheaper to replace this way.

  • Snoots on 11/03/2021 - 13:42

    I have both the the Chromecast with Google TV and the Firestick 4K.
    The Chromecast still has a bug with higher frequency 5Ghz channels which means that people who have routers set at channel 149 or above the Chromecast will not work. You can always change the router to channel 36 or just use 2.4ghz. That said if you are using a mesh system you may still run into problems.
    I still find the Firestick to be snappier than the Chromecast, and the WiFi on gives a better signal even though it has only 1.5GB of ram compared to 2GB on the chromecast.

    • lufee on 11/03/2021 - 13:56

      5Ghz bug really sucks, force to use low channel band just to connect this over AC

    • beaver2233 on 11/03/2021 - 14:11

      Yeah this is really frustrating. I have Google WiFi and the Chromecast can only operate in 2.4GHz as a result of this 'bug'. Really hoping Google can release an update to fix it.

      • finger on 11/03/2021 - 16:09

        Genuine question, what's the reason for using a higher channel? Is it only because of local congestion on the lower channels?

        • Nohtyp on 11/03/2021 - 21:44

          5.0 is bad at going through walls but better speed performance overall.

        • Qmanol on 12/03/2021 - 08:48

          There's 2 reasons:

          2.4GHz vs 5GHz - you can bond channels on 5GHz to get faster speeds. You can do this on 2.4, but it makes you a (profanity), as it interferes with the whole band for anyone near you.

          The reason to use a higher channel within the 5GHz band, is that the highest channels are allowed to use more power, thus getting a greater range. You know how most WIFI devices ask what country you're in? This is so they can set their signal strength and available channels up to comply with the law. Here's a good description of the rules in Australia (https://goughlui.com/2018/06/04/note-choosing-5ghz-wi-fi-cha…), showing that the highest frequency channels are allowed to transmit with much more power than the others, as well as the middle DFA channels which have more power than the lowest, but have to shut off if the WiFi point detects radar.

    • Ice009 on 11/03/2021 - 14:18

      Does this look like it is something that can be fixed, or is it a hardware issue?

      I'm not sure if I should buy one of these or look at other/more expensive players, but since I built a HTPC a few months ago, was kind of looking for the cheaper option if it can do what I need.

      Here is a couple of posts I made https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/563217 If anyone has some time to have a read and provide some advice, that would be great.

      • Snoots on 11/03/2021 - 15:05

        The Nvidia Shield or Apple TV 4K are the best media players for normal people at the moment.
        Whether the 5Ghz bug will be fixed is anyone's guess. Google support says Yes, but they may be just parroting off some script. I suspect that it is a bug in the Amlogic SOC that will require a chipset revision of some sort. Anyway active discussion link on whirlpool below:

          They might be the best but they are also 4x the price! And I would argue that for 90% of people the Chromecast with Google TV is more than good enough.

        cant u connect HTPC to pc itself n do what chromecast does & more?

        • swanny246 on 12/03/2021 - 09:15

          HTPCs are all well and good, but I do believe there are proper benefits to using a dedicated media player like Chromecast/Apple TV etc. Being able to download the app and jump straight in and use it with full remote support is a huge benefit for one.

          • Ice009 on 15/03/2021 - 14:52

            @swanny246: Yeah, great point. Another thing I didn't think of until after I built the HTPC. A remote makes a huge difference too compared to not having one for the HTPC. Is it actually possible to be able to get something to use on the PC as a remote?

            Also, can download an app on your phone and use it as a remote for the Chromecast with Google TV too (can't remember if the CCwGTV has one Edit: just saw the picture above at the top of the page where it clearly shows it has a remote)? I know the Apple TV and Nvidia Shield come with remotes, but can you also get apps for remotes that provide more functionality for those as well?

        • Ice009 on 15/03/2021 - 14:48

          cant u connect HTPC to pc itself n do what chromecast does & more?

          Do you mean connect the HTPC to a TV? If so, yes, that is what I've done, but there is no apps for Windows 10 that I can use to get the best streaming quality on my TV. I didn't realise that the streaming quality wouldn't be as good watching through web browsers compared to the apps.

          I do remember the quality being better on the old non-chromium version of Microsoft Edge (it looked like 1080p on HULU for example), but when watching Hulu with Firefox, Chrome, Opera, it looks like crap. I haven't tried the absolute current version of Edge to see if it's improved in that, but when I tried in the chromium version of Edge a few months ago, the quality wasn't any better than the other browsers. Amazon Prime is the only service that seems to work great on any web browser (the video quality is 1080p and looks by far the best of any of the services I have - Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Foxtel etc. Not sure if you guys agree, but Amazon seems to blow them away video quality wise at least), so I give them huge props for that, and also will keep my subscription with them due to allowing a much, much better experience when watching through a web browser. Plus, they also have a Windows 10 app, so I could also use that if I wanted.

          I would much rather just keep using the HTPC, but if the streaming quality is going to look like it's between 480p -720p at best with stuff like Hulu through a web browser, what's the point of paying for those services if I can't watch them in at least 1080p. Does anyone know what the main reason would be on why they don't want it to be as good when watching through a web browser? Is it a legal issue (like a DRM thing?), and/or is it something to do with them wanting us to use their apps so that they can get more information and statistics of viewing etc.?

All good if you're busy, I can wait a day or two longer. I'll try and have a look at some Youtube reviews tonight after work.

            Do I have to get some sort of Adapter to use the Firestick by the way?

            One of the comments on the Dick Smith site said :

            This is a American fire stick that has American plug.
            Can’t plug it in to a PowerPoint unless you got a universal adapter.

            If sold at an Australian store, do they normally come with an AU plug? Anyone know? If I have to buy one, can anyone recommend a cheap AU plug to buy that would work?
