Great price for a good piece of kit, I know the new version is out now but you can't go wrong with the original as it will suit most.

Really can't go wrong at this price from a reputable seller.
I've got the original and mainly use it for Netflix and Mobdro

how do you cast mobdro. I tried a few months ago and could only do it via cast screen option and that wasn't great

I have an original and a new chromecast and there really isn't much between them other than dual band wifi.
As long a the 2.4ghz band isn't too congested where you are you really won't notice a difference.
v1 loads a Netflix movie in 8sec and the new one only takes 6sec...
If I didn't need 5ghz I would choose a v1 at this price.

Wish they'd release one with ethernet - I got annoyed with stutering on mine on HD stuff, been fine since I got the ethernet adaptor from the US....

It would not surprise me if Amazon do another round of Fire Sticks for £25 come Black Friday in a couple of weeks time, I would advise anyone save their money unless they just want a rudimentary stick of which this then is ideal.
Obviously being android and with sideloading you can do much more such as Kodi with the Fire Stick.

Mobdro for me has a cast screen icon in the corner. make sure you have the latest version. must admit it can be temperamental.
Also used it with showbox. That's definitely finished now. sure enough someone will develop an alternative app

I've got V2, don't notice any improvement from v1. I'm tempted by the Firestick, but I think Chromecast is my only option to stream BT sport (legit subscription) and Now TV (without the box) using my phone - correct me if I'm wrong.

I got chromecast Audio the other day. I tried to play my collection off my phone and it said I can't play side loaded music remotely. I can only use spotify or google purchased music.
Does anyone have a workaround for this?
thanks in advance

will it not even play music you put into your Google acc? I do that with my phone to stream when out and about
