Google Chromecast Digital HD Media Streamer HDMI Wifi Black

CHEAP, FIRST GENERATION CHROMECAST PERFORMS WELL - TO A POINT...

Currently to be found at a snip here on eBay and elsewhere, the 1st Gen Chromecast is easy to set up - in the main; you may, however, encounter some difficulties unless you have the MAC address to hand. I've set one up on four different systems; the last was, however, a beast to get to work! I think that's probably only because of the wifi provided where I am...

I have, though, also found problems with Wuaki casting once set up - particularly from a MacBook Pro: the screen sticks on "Ready To Cast" and refuses to budge; Wuaki say they are unable to reproduce the problem. Casting from an iPhone, from an iPad Mini and from Chrome all seem to work seamlessly and there Chromecast performs without a hitch. I'm not sure what the 2nd Gen unit does that this one doesn't, but - if cost is an issue - I would recommend looking for a refurbished one of these (£10-12).

All in all, not a bad means of streaming content to your HDMI fitted TV.Read full review

Easy to use with my older style Smart TV

I bought this to be able to mirror my mobile phone to the TV screen so I could stream a live yoga class and participate more easily.
It was easy to set up. I just had to download the Googlehome app on my mobile and it was easy-peasy from there.
Works really well via home WiFi signal. Really pleased.Read full review

Very nice gadget

I wanted a cheap thing to cast my phone. This did an excellent job despite being a 1st Gen Chromecast rather than the latest. It worked far better than the generic, no- name casting dongle I tried first. This Chromecast easily paired with my phone and cast its screen to my very old tv set.Read full review
