  • is this the best option for casting from a device to a dumb tv?

    • If you only want to cast, the Google Chromecast does this and is only usually $50-$60, for the little bit extra the Chromecast with Google TV (This Deal) is much better as it allows you to cast, as well as load programs like Netflix, Disney+, Prime, Kayo etc

      So yes, effectively converts your dumb TV into a smart tv

      • Also a good idea for even newer Smart TVs! My Samsung downstairs has all the latest streaming services but my EKO tv upstairs doesn't. This is where this comes in handy.

  • Ozbargain question - I signed up for Indian Youtube Premium from a previous deal so it's only like $3 a month. Problem is to do this I had to do some stuffing around to register my google account to an Indian address.

    Now I recently upgraded Disney+ and it no longer works on my chromecast and comes up with an error that the version is not supported on my device. It was working fine previously, I can only presume it's country locked because it believes my account is India based where Disney+ isn't available.

    Any workarounds/tips?

    • User hotstar, cheaper and more content

      • What will be the best VPN setup to get the Hotstar working.. ?

        • You need an active indian mobile to get otp first. There is no vpn that works continuously. They keep blocking

    • That is why I didn't use my main google account to signup Youtube Premium just accept invite but for some reason Google TV app shows ARS currency but I didn't use it anyway.

    Great to install Kodi to watch me ornpays. Apart from that, YouTube smart for adfree YouTube, beeTV, TeaTV, cinemaHD for everything else

    • Do you have a router level VPN for this or do you do it some other way?

      • Kodi is on the app store. The rest just get a browser app and install whatever apps aren't on the google play store aka the illegal and modded ones

        • Oh, I mean for the streams that come in via beeTV, cinemanHD, etc.

          Like, is your chromecast VPNd?

          • @Droz: Nah I don't use VPNs for streaming. Only for downloading movies, or banking, crypto etc.

  • Can I do xbox cloud gaming on this?

  • Is there any simple way to input channels on FTA TV with this besides scrolling up and down?

  • Does this have user accounts yet?

    I have an OG Chromecast and the whole family uses their devices to cast when they want. I don't want to muddle up Youtube or other apps reccomendations/views.

  • Thanks just picked up a second one of these.

    I prefer the shield (mostly for the ethernet port), but the interface is as snappy and the remote feels great on the chromecast tv.

    Just a heads up, setup is slow for no good reason, to the point of extreme frustration.

  • Is there a device similar to this that offers a DTV antenna input? I currently have a Voda TV box which offers that and I'd love to get one for my Mum, but they no longer sell Voda TV. Or is streaming becoming the only option?

    • +1

      Fetch TV box? Not that cheap but has a tuner.

    • HDHomeRun? but not cheap.

      Firestick can but not sure about Google Chromecast TV

    • +1

      there are still Foxtel Now boxes with DTV antenna input for sale on kogan & the likes, while not as good as vodafone tv it'll certainly work for your mum

      https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/foxtel-now-box-netflix-compatib…

      • This looks perfect. Thanks mate.

        • any issues there's plenty about it on whirlpool, you will need a free foxtel now account to login initially but that's it, it can be side loaded with all the usual apps and the foxtel stuff can be disabled so it becomes just another android box with FTA

          • @Irishness: hmm this has chromecast built in too which makes it seem like a better deal than the amazon 4k max fire stick. what am i missing?

  • Thanks OP. Got price matched from google as I had some store credit to use. You have to first buy and then contact support to get the refund. Refund is done after delivery.

    • I think year end. Just a guess.

        I am sure Amazon won't match it XD 😁

  • Can this be used overseas (like in UAE)? I wanted to take it for my family there but not sure if it will work.

      it should work but you would have to get some app subscriptions to get Arabic tv

      • Thanks for that. Not too fussed about the Arabic channels. It was more around can they use Netflix, Youtube, Prime, etc. So as long as that works, I'll place the order in.

  • What is everyone using to cast videos from Laptop to Chromecast?
    (Or does this gadget fix the this issue)
    Videostream is buggy and Stremio is buggy as well.

    Thanks for your help, it is greatly appreciated!

    • VLC has the functionality, but it was buggy when I tried it years ago. Worth a shot, as it's free!
