Darrrrgh only bought mine yesterday! That £1 could have bought me some pick n mix :disappointed:

I hate this site... First you made me feel I needed to buy something that I didn't, then you show me it again a day later, a pound cheaper :confused:

Got mine yesterday and love it. Heat OP! This is an absolute steal at 14 notes, what are you all waiting for?!

​When you say play it through your phone, do you mean your phone speakers? I could never do that because I like music.

​Im using with a Moto X Force, 1st gen Nexus 7, a Samsung Galaxy Ace something and an Asus Zenpad tablet. Running 2 CCA's in a fairly old building with thick solid walls to £7k's worth of Musial Fidelity/Monitor Audio Hi-Fi in the lounge and an old Denon mini system in the kitchen. I have had no problems with connection or any of the other problems you have mentioned.
I would say the reason it's cheap is because they have over stocked on a product that the general public don't have a clue about it what it is for. If they even know they exist. You just have to read the two threads on here to see people asking what speaker it has, can I use it in my car, why would you not just use the phone speaker and can I play my Netflix on my TV with it.
It's also the financial year end soon. So stocks need to be reduced. Targets need to be met to get retro payments on the invoice.
So yes, you could have a duffer. This happens with electronic products. This does not make the product rubbish. It makes you unlucky. Equally, it could be that it's just incompatible with your set up. You will always get products that have a quirk with another product. Or it could be your set up and something you are doing wrong. I don't know what one of those it is. But there are so many happy users, including me, that I can't see it as rubbish.

Works a treat with my iPod .

Basically, with all your music copied into google play for free, this works like a dream,being controlled by iphone or android tablet. This I guess is what google really want and what this CCA is primarily designed to do out the box.

I emailed to get difference refunded, they want a screen shot of the website because 'cannot find' when the price ]was reduced. Anyone got one please?

Hi I already had Spotify premium it works great I also have Spotify with AirPlay on my AV amp the chrome cast is far better more responsive and faster even tho the amp as a 300mb Ethernet connection.
Also I have just installed Plex on my WHS server it works great with MP3 and flac that does not need transcoding the sound is superb!
Oh and via the iOS app for iPad.

You can do the same on an android tablet or phone - just use the app and cast the audio. I've tried it and it works fine - though it does tie up your device.

Bought one of these to stream Spotify as it says in the box it works, what it doesn't tell you is you need a premium account to stream to chrome cast

In the end I found stock in my local argos so decided to get them there for £1 more rather then trek into town.
Just in time as it happens.

So now have 3 chromecasts all playing beautifully in sync.
Still haven't worked out the best way to play music from my NAS.
Localcast works OK at first but stops after 2-3 tracks. No idea why.

Might have to set up plex - or upload all my music to google.

I keep hoping there's the perfect CCA music app out there but yet to find it.

Sorry - quote above was accidental, please ignore

Just got it today at my local so didn't need to check if it was reserved or not.
But will the price drop lower before the summer?

Yup - looks like the party's over ... for now at least.
Argos still have them at £15 - but guess that might not last long.

I do have 2 reserved for C&C at PC World. Anyone know what they're like with price changes?
Will they try to charge me today's price or will I get it at yesterdays when I reserved it?

Back to 30 quid.

Had terrible dropouts needing device reset on mine when I had one CCA connected by wifi to my main router, and another connected by wifi to the nearest router, a secondary one at the back of the house linked to the main router via a TP-Link powerline adapator pair.

Changed the back CCA to connect to the further-away main router, with really quite a weak wifi signal, and have not had dropouts since.

(I've also noticed poor VOIP voice quality when connected via ethernet to those TP-Link powerline things, I just don't think they're good enough for non-robust technologies such as Chromecast. They are, however, good enough for Sonos to work without a glitch ... or rather, Sonos is engineered more robustly and reliably than CCA!)

Oh, and I've also linked them into my existing Sonos network by feeding the first CCA into my Playbar. Audio lag is almost too high when going through the TV, so I will invest in a £10 optical switcher to switch between the TV and the CCA, which should cut out the worst of the audio lag/echo.

Used it on a nexus 7, a moto x force and on both devices it loses connection, even sometimes losing the cast icon or the google music icon. I also have chromecast video and thats ok it seems as many have complained about it is the CC audio version that is throwing a wobbler

Brilliant, for £14 bargain ! Set up in about 3 minutes. Hooked into my JBL soundbar.

I am using AllCast to access my own phone mp3 files. Google Music not a requirement to play your mp3s. To the uninitiated, it needs WI-FI to do his, not two cans and a piece of string :smiley:

do not buy this, it is reduced for a reason as it's rubbish. mines going back due to constant drops, complete disconnections requiring a reboot or reset. imagine having an album playing and you can't stop it or go onto the next track or even adjust volume and that's when it originally connected. most of the time it doesn't find the CC. looking on the net it is a common issue that hasn't been rectified since last year. before I bought this I was using a cheap BT audio adapter I pad a few pounds for from banggood and have not had any issues with it, so will be going back to that.

Good point :-/
Wonder if I can create a network from my iPhone?

The problem with AirPlay was connecting to that (wifi) meant you no longer received a data signal (4G etc) unless you knew how to edit the dns appropriately.
I'd hoped this was going to be more straight forward :-/
Oh well - do your research guys! (I didn't)

My car audio system has an optical input, so I can put this in the glovebox (usb charging port in there) and stream high res (HD) music :-)
I have an "AirPlay" device in there now, and the Alpine HU has "CarPlay" (but HU out is analog). The AirPlay device (a Soundmate M1) can be a bit flaky though, and AirPlay downsamples anything above 16bit/44.1khz.
I don't know the tech spec of chromecast audio, but for £14 I'll give it a go :-)

It does have a digital out. It uses a dual port. The spdif goes into the 3.5mm jack

Been waiting for a decent price for these to drop and hey thats low enough for me. Thanks for the pointer to this....

Found it on eBay, searching for "Toslink mini".

€19.50 in Ireland.

Bought 2 today. Great deal. Still not sold on its compatibility and functionality (it cuts in and out a little). If you have iphone - you will struggle, android works well though. If you are used to Sonos - you will also be disappointed but at £15, who cares right?

Picked up a second one for multiroom listening. It works great. Had an old mini toslink lying around for optical connectivity.

Can anyone recommend a speaker setup for the bedroom I'm tempted to go with the Lepy 2024a+ and Tibo Edge mini setup suggested by by simonspeakeasy here any other suggestion for a sub £100 setup. I quite like the Pioneer X-EM12 too.

Yeah thinking about it I have a slow tablet running Win 10 that I never use so will try setting Plex up on that.

Ordered 8 on Friday, and a 2-min phone call to Currys customer service just now, refunded £8 without questioning. Excellent customer service.

Got one of these at the higher £15 last week. Works a treat (after initial setup pain due to my existing normal Chromecast being on same network).

I just wish my router with storage (effectively a mini NAS) would expose flac files, as the Chromecast plays these natively.

Looking for a solution to this - maybe buy a proper NAS

Thanks, OP - order now confirmed by Currys, and on their way with free delivery, Royal Mail.

I bought 3 the other day at £15 each, a quick phone call to curry's and they refunded me the £3. :smiley:

What collection of apps (paid or free) can stream local content (on android smartphone sd card) to CCA?

holding out till these drop below a tenner

Where did you get yours from?

Nice one you two. :-)

Bought today. Thanks OP

Amazon dont sell this so cant price match?

That instructable is almost word for word the same as a post on a Google forum that I found last year. The only thing missing is that the CC has to be set up on wifi before it will work on a wired connection. I used the same procedure to good effect last autumn at a friend's house that was suffering from very poor wifi with the result that her five chromecasts were really struggling. I got my parts from ebay (items 251674749560 and 171549957883). Worked a treat.

Thanks for the very helpful advice. My setup of 4 of these will hopefully be almost complete as soon as I get the ethernet adaptor. I have installed a music server software on my NAS to serve all music files via bubbleupnp installed on both my NAS and my Android devices. The only thing missing for me now is an easy and efficient way to be able to stream Amazon Prime music. Tried tab casting from chrome browser but find it to be a bit choppy and would also prefer to control from my phone rather than from PC. Anyone with any brilliant ideas?

Haha, I am number 4. Lorelei was my first search.

Many a Sunday in 86 I fell asleep to tapes of them.

Speaking of Cocteau Twins, last week there was an article about them, a Guardian journalist [compiled] his own top ten.

Cheers Cico. Your name pops up for me every year or so & I then regress back to music of old. First time I've actually youtubed the twins though.

What speakers are people using? I'm trying these, small, cheap, decent quality and USB powered (so can pair this and the Chromecast up with a USB power socket) - http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/new-chromecast-audio-owner-check-logitech-z120-stereo-speakers-10-70-prime-15-45-2403857

Yes, it will play MP3 straight from NAS, just not FLAC without a transcoder such as bubbleupnp

Wow, awesome stuff now have multi room set up from my nas to raspberry pi to all rooms the sync is perfect... Best £ spent in a while....cheers.

Any Tips on improving the wifi reception on these? My Pure Jongo appears to have a better outreach for multiroom play.

Hey Cico, I've not looked at this type of device before, but I have a similar Nas, Does it play MP3's straight from the Nas with a phone acting as the remote? It's a good price, but I'm yet to be sold on whether I need it.

Can't get it to accept any of my cards for payment - keeps failing

:laughing:

That's the one I ordered, 3.5mm to RC-5720. :stuck_out_tongue:

​You need a toslink to mini toslink cable so I think you may have wasted your money. :-/

Those who bought for £15... 7 day price promise? Use it for your quid! Lol

is it possible to have music playing through the speakers connected to my Mac and the speaker I have this plugged into simultaneously? when I 'cast' on my Mac, the sound cuts out of the speakers connected, and starts on the other, but I want them playing at the same time. is this possible?

Hehehehe, sometimes (only sometimes mind ... ) you can get Optical Cables from Pound Shops too, huh?, lol. :-)

Thanks for that. That's certainly how I read the spec. Glad to learn I haven't wasted £2 on a Toslink cable.

Wow
I bought one of these
These dont have optical on them just to let you now guys

Still worth it though

OP .. I like the Orange ChromeCast Audio you have in the Picture there. :-)

There's also a Red and a Green of these too right?. :-)

This is what we fondly refer to as irony ..... now THAT is funny?, hehehehehe. :-)

Good grief! How many of these did they buy!?!? Got one for £15 yesterday but I must have another amp somewhere that would benefit from one of these...

Next would be start the price match option in Argos, Amazon etc :wink:

Oh it was for the same item for a pound or two more, but it was his 1000th deal, funny thread.

Ha! The Range, it's where it's at!

Looks like Chianci has vanished, anyway. :wink:

Chianci's deal should be retracted.

Bubbleupnp didn't work for me as I'd hoped as all my flac files (stored on a drive plugged into my router) are invisible to it. If I rename one to .mp3 then it's magically visible but of course doesn't stream. I guess my router's DLNA feature only supports certain file types. Frustrating as the only fix is to spend £200+ on a Synology and drive.

Heat for the Chromecast Audio tho - works a treat with net radio etc

Ace!.

That was Posted 4 months ago on here, & it expires on 18/03/16?, thats like a longggggggg 'window'?!.

Thanx for re-Posting. :-)

Do you get any google play credit?

Thanks, but I really do not have a need for a dedicated server, my Buffalo NAS 1TB connected to my router along with an external 1TB 2.5 HD attached to it serves my purposes just fine for FLAC streaming to both my AV Receivers in the house. I just needed a way to play them on the kitchen DAB, I think encoding them for use in Google Play Music is going to be for the best rather than encoding them on the fly...unless anyone knows of any way Chromecast can play FLAC from DLNA natively.

Hmmmmmmm, interesting?!, thanx for that. :-)

And perhaps one of these in the future too:

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/dell-poweredge-t20-9186-tower-server-167-94-delivered-serversplus-97-94-after-dell-2401938

For any of your further Server needs & the like ..... :-)

My bad!, I meant LocalCast, hehehe (**** Mobile Phone 'Screen Limitations', hahahaha). :-)

Was LocalCast any good?, what was/are your views on it please?. :-)

Bubbleupnp worked for me just great, although only tried it in trial mode so far (paid app) it needs to run in the background to transcode. Takes the FLAC files from my Buffalo NAS drive (Twonky DLNA) and transcodes them on the fly.

However, this kind of defeats the purpose of using Chromecast, meaning my tablet has to work hard transcoding to send the files via Chromecast to my Pure DAB radio in the kitchen.

Most likely what I will end up doing is just simply sending my FLAC files from my NAS to the Google Play Music cloud seeing that you can store 50,000 songs...encodes them in 320kbps MP3 which is fine for my kitchen needs and really what Chromecast does best without utilising external resources.

I've only used LocalCast, I'm afraid, which suits me, although did trial BubblePnP ages ago, but can't recall it.

​At least I can speak propler :wink:

OUCH!!, that's almost like Cinema prices if I'm not mistaken?.

Perhaps maybe prove a little bit cheaper to get your Pick & Mix via Pound Shops instead, no ... hehehehe. :-)

Hmmmmmmmm, I hear u!, good point I guess?.

But they're HAPPY to Stock BOTH NOW TV AND Google Nexus Players on their Website instead?, amongst other 'things'? (eg. Android Boxes, &/or Dual-Boot Win/Android TV Boxes, & ..... )

Do these too not clash with Amazon's own priority Product Policy?, or ..... I'm a little bit confused here?. :-(

Lol.

I've heard of LocalCast (but never used it), & I've used AllCast to Cast Movies from different Android Tablets to a Smart TV before (& it does what it does very well!), but I've never heard of BubblePnP before?.

Is either AllCast, &/or BubblePnP any good then?, or ..... thanx. :-)

Darrrrgh only bought mine yesterday! That £1 could have bought me some pick n mix :disappointed:

Gutted lol as paid £15 last week.

Great product (after I'd fixed issues with my existing Chromecast not liking the new one being added to network).

Heat

Amazon refuse to stock chromecast (or apple tv) because they want you to buy their firestick instead.

This is a reply to everyone who commented back. Cheers but we ain't all tech buffs like most think they are on here. I genuinely just wanted to know what this was all about and I love my music and do know what I'm talking about when it comes to it.

In answer to this point I play all my music through my Ipod mostly so just use a docking station so yeah....thanks though

These were a FULL £30 odd only last month?, ooooooooo!!, lol.

I may/might just go for one of these now?. :-)

Just bought the device yesterday for £15 , on my way to return it as you cannot use the native apps to stream the music like itunes , or native music player of your android device , you need to upload your music to google play database or cloud in order to play it. Taught it would mirror the audio element to the destination devices but no. Full review here https://youtu.be/-f7P9I4te-4

Plex off the top of my head

​The bloke on the YouTube clip couldn't even work out how to get in the box. I wouldn't trust him.

bought one of these, not sure if it good for me, can anyone explain the purpose of them?

Someone please help me!

I bought one yesterday because of the hype but don't even think I see the point in it. Surely music that plays through your phone is loud enough anyway and if you wanted it any louder you'd just play it through a TV for example.

Am I missing the point here?! I'm not trying to tell people it's not good or whatever I just really don't see what the big deal is unless I'm missing something? !

Advise...

It doesn't just use "Google Play". You can stream ANYTHING off your phone or PC to it!

Thanks. Got my refund for £7!

Higher quality than Bluetooth music streaming. Multi room music. Think along the lines of Sonos

Anyone able to recommend a little speaker to attach this to? I'm thinking of sticking it in the kitchen - something around £20? Ideally it would have a USB socket to power the Chromecast but I'm not sure if those are common.

Just got my refund instore, took all of 3 minutes and was not embarrassing or a waste of time imo.

​I bought it as it is what I wanted and is far from usless for me. The fact it is half price is a bonus.

Yeah, so did about ten guys in the above 50 or so comments. Think we've covered thais issue now.

For those who are interested (if anyone actually is), I dug out an old OTG USB hub which is the same kind of thing as the OTG Y cable. After a quick test with an USB-ethernet adapter it seems to be working through the LAN connection. Checking the 'connected devices' on my wifi-router, the chromecast shows up in 'wired connections' (not wireless) and was working ok.

May or may not be useful to anyone, but handy to know if you have poor wifi connection where you'd like to use it - would work great with a ethernet powerline adapter.

Had a few left in Evesham this morning but was charged £15. But they did sell me the now tv box (with 3 month entertainment pass) for £10. Only a couple on display.
Using Rocket Player to cast from my HTC M8. I'd rather user Poweramp but it doesn't have the cast option which is a shame as its a great app. Thanks to the various original posters.

​I can 2nd that :wink:

You missed the humour then....:laughing:

Spam, different story if one of the disciples posted the original one

I genuinely pity you sir. But if you can justify it to yourself, good luck. I bet you £1, that'll you'll spend more than £1, on things you don't need during your trip.

Currys price match within 7 days any store right? Should be able to go back and get a quid off....mine is local, nothing to lose.

Unless he bought it on behalf of an outsourced company servicing a government department, office, or other big institution, then the additional service charge is based on action per event, £150 to buy the £15 thing, then another action event £150 to get a refund of £1. All auditable and within management process and no one has done anything wrong.

Not bothering with my £15 Argos reservation so went to Currys & just got one plus £10 (ask for the customer offer at check out) for the new black NowTv box with 3 months entertainment pass :smiley:

Can anyone give me some ideas on what id use this on please, does it essentially make someone that doesn't have a wireless option streaming to being able to via 3.5mm jack?

Sneaky, I like your style - is it then called "pick n nick " :-)

If anyone is interested in using a wired LAN (ethernet) connection with their chromecast, but doesn't want to shell out the £15 for the official adapter, this guide may be useful:

http://www.instructables.com/id/Connect-Chrome-Cast-Via-Ethernet/

Please note, I haven't tried this with my chromecast, so I can't confirm if it works with this newer one. Basically you use an OTG Y cable and cheap USB-ethernet adapter, with the power still coming from the adapter provided with your chromecast.

I've ordered an OTG Y cable to try this out myself, as I already have an USB-ethernet adapter spare (although I'm not sure if it has the correct chipset).

I'll post the results here, incase anyone's interested. In about 6 months when I receive the OTG Y cable :smiley:

Just phoned Currys instead. Took me two minutes they gave me 3 pounds back for three I bought.

Great little gadget, thanks OP! Just got two... and 24p from quidco :wink:

how do I get this to work on my TV with a Soundbar ?

Yes, that's one year's imprisonment. On the other handm making RBS lighter earns you £4m bonus by Fred the bank shredder.

i guess there are also some on here who say no to a deal here for a difference of 50p so I guess there will be those where every penny counts!

Ordered 3 being delivered on Monday. Might order again and just refuse delivery.

Depends on your personal circumstances really. If you're going there/nearby anyway or calling, lets say it takes 5-10 mins. If you take home less then ~£6/hr or 12/hr after tax (depending on if it takes 5 or 10 mins), then I guess its not really penny pinching. I imagine most would rather spend 5-10 mins getting the £1's back then the extra time at work earning them :/

i know this site is all about saving money but some people are just ridiculous penny counters. The time it would take to get that refund of £1 is not worth it. Some people...

Does anyone know if I install Google Play music on an iPhone, will it automatically import the music that's been purchased in iTunes?

But I digress, I do tire of listening to Jaz's waffle....money in my pocket is definitely a God, hence why I am on HUKD :wink:

Nice!

Home Bargains is literally 50 yards away and we have to go there, I really don't care if it takes 10 minute.

Pylon really is a fantastic album, shame the mixing on the tour was shoddy, did get to briefly meet Big Paul and get the booklet signed though.

Bet it'll take longer than five mins, but it's your time and you do what you like; after all, you can get a free visit to poundland out of it. Virtual high-five!

(P.s On an unrelated note, good avatar. I love Killing Joke and that's a superb album)

Which is what I said earlier in #47, others mileage (literally) may vary...to tell someone to address their own lifes priorities though I take umbrage with and tell them to mind their own..

I wonder how many have recently appeared on ebay?

Whats the cheapest solution anyone has found for wired ethernet? The official solution works out as much as the CCAs (well a £1 more now they've dropped to £14) :/

It is useful info if it drops any further. Or if you happen to be going in or calling them anyway (i.e to chase shipping/etc).

That's the third time I have voted hot on the CCA this week!
Totally worth the money

Liked it so much I've reserved a second for multiroom

As I said in your own opinion....no one is right or wrong....we just so happen to have to pop out and will be passing Currys, we are not the only ones doing it....it is up to me if I want to spend the 5 minutes it takes to get a partial refund.

Same thing could be said about not being bothered to go through quidco or topcashback for the odd 30 pence here or 50 pence there.

As for my lifes priorities I will tell you to kindly mind your own business.

His opinion is right. If you need to go to a store to get a quid refunded you have way too much time on your hands and clearly need to address life priorities. Heck, I can't be bothered even phoning for my quid refund (bought one yesterday) as life's too short.

It's a quid!

dam, i paid £15 2 days ago :disappointed:

Obviously quality depends on source files and the quality of the internal DAC of whichever unit you are using against either the Chromecast's own DAC or where it can be really useful....pumping out digital for integral decoding by an amp/receiver.

In your own opinion.

Paid £15 last night and so much easier connecting the BT which can be temperamental. Sound quality is much better as well!

tip: i turn on the high dynamic range on good quality hi-fi/speakers. it dramatically improved the depth of the sound.

Never mind

They have optical integrated into the 3.5mm connector, you will need one of these: Toslink to Mini-Toslink. I have bought a Chromecast Audio and one of these cables, haven't tested it yet though, will do that later today.

Going in to store to ask for £1??? If I was the cashier I would be chuckling to myself. Time and effort of even going in the store to ask for a refund of a quid is not worth it.

Just bought one, great price....what's it for?

But is that the app - it didn't just picks up the streams?

I understand these as have the original Chromecast, but I'm just querying how is it better quality than using a 3.5mm jack? (For me the convenience and direct streaming win out anyway, but thinking locally stored music)

It works well but the quality is awful, really low bitrate for nearly all stations.

Any good alternatives to Tune in radio app on Android?

Dammit I need a normal Chromecast on offer. Just lost mine the other day.

​Gold Reference, the Monitor Audio's?

Am I correct that these gizmo's will stream Spotify Premium but not the Spotify Free music?

In theory it would work :wink:

Had ordered a couple of these online at £15, but managed to get a refund just now on the phone. Thanks for the heads-up OP, it all helps.

​That would be defrauding the store so I hope you're joking :wink:

Also got refund over the phone after buying online a couple of days ago.

Just phoned them and they agreed to refund the difference. Thanks for the post Op!

​Thanks
Looks like I may have to buy a separate DAC and run the digital output from the chrome to it to get similar sound quality to what I currently have. Most of my music is now lossless and after upgrading to some gold reference speakers I can really tell the difference between a low bit rate mp3. Why o why did you discontinue the squeezebox range Logitech!?....

Just get them from Wilko where you weigh them yourself and print out your own label, a couple of fingers on the bag defying gravity when you print out the label works a treat :man:

I attach my go pro where?

This plugin works really well - set it up on my LMS server yesterday in a matter of minutes. Only downside is no gapless playback - apparently this is a limitation of the Chromecast API. The plugin even handles downsampling 24/192 to the Chromecast-capable 24/96

If they still have it for £15 I will show them the price now shown online, so regardless it will not be a wasted trip for anyone that is willing to return to store....obviously for anyone that is further afield from their own store they can engage their own brain to see if it is worth it or not.

Either they refund me the £1, or I buy another one matching their price listed on the website and return it straight away on the old receipt.

Yea of course. Im not speaking for everyone. Just stating the fact of it may still be up at the same price yesterday, so could be making a pointless trip to save £1.

Im happy with £15.

Ok never used one of these, genuine question what are the advantages of using one of these ? Couldn't you just plug your phone in anyway using an aux cable?

I wouldn't all go rushing out to save £1 ive just picked one up this morning from PC world, trinity square Nottingham. Went through the till at £15.



Edit : Added Reciept

It is the principle of the matter, we have to venture out anyway, it's a mile or so away (car) and close to supermarkets we use so going to.

What's the DAC like in these? I've got a squeezebox classic currently that's on borrowed time. Looking to replace at some point.

Are these £14 instore or do you have to book online?

Thanks for the Clarification. I do the same as you and send it through the Chromecast TV stick to the HiFi. I was just wondering if I could use the Audio version in a speaker upstairs. Shame about the Spotify free not being supported though. It took a while for it to be supported on the TV version so it might be in the development stage still. Fingers crossed they sort it.

just noticed it looks like a vinyl record <3

See my link further down

Took the plunge at £14 Inc free p&p with a tiny bit of cash back. Presumably this has a longer range than bluetooth devices.

reserved at my local store. cheers for the heads up. heat added.

http://www.kenable.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=6187

tos link cable.

Lose your time for £1?

I hate this site... First you made me feel I needed to buy something that I didn't, then you show me it again a day later, a pound cheaper :confused:

Got mine yesterday and love it. Heat OP! This is an absolute steal at 14 notes, what are you all waiting for?!

For optical output you need to purchase a Mini-TOSLINK-to-TOSLINK (optical) cable as per the Google site - https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/6280276?hl=en-GB

No mods about today?

I forgot to collect mine yesterday, luckily! Whole shiny extra £1 coming my way! FYI - I bought one from Argos for £30, messaged them and asked if I could return using an 'e-receipt', their customer service was disgusting! Wasn't going to bother returning it, but due to this woman's awful tone and behaviour, I'll be returning this back to Argos, for my full £30 refund, and be taking my business to Currys instead! :smiley:

Ordered. seriously don't know why but I feel abit left out :laughing:

Glad that I did not have the time to collect the reservations I made twice. I reserved again at the lower price

Not even opened the one I purchased the other day, now reserved another, I must be crazy

Title needs altering to chromecast audio.

Whatttttttt? Heat added, great find :smiley:

This deal is for Google Chromecast Audio only. Chromecast still remains £30 on PCworld site

An extra £1 off, bought 2 last week doh, those on the fence should jump now?
