Can you find it cheaper and does it still do most of what the newest model can? No and Yes would be my guess.

I had one, worked fine and never have us any grief. Be aware, though that got can't use Amazon Prime through it as Amazon have blocked them. Many shows on All4 and suchlike also won't cast due to licencing restrictions. " Usually the most popular ones. You can plug your laptop into the telly and watch it that way but you're not allowed to stream the same show to the same screen. Lawyers doing their best to inhibit the spread of technology. :smirk:

You can use the Cast Screen function to show whatever is playing on your tablet/phone. Works fine on my 4.4 tablet and chromecast 1. Not perfect quality, but as good as digital SD even with my ancient router.

All4 has been castable for a month or more now.

Oh, not sure if this can really claim to be half price. It was £30 new, is likely to be two generations behind reasonably soon, and the current generation is £30.

You should be able to cast from a compatible phone or tablet, not sure about from a laptop.

Yes you can, mobile / tablet and laptop. Mobile and tablet will just cast the stream where the laptop will screen cast. You will also need to install local cast and a file needs adding to a folder using ES file explorer.

If your phone is capable of screen casting then you can cast anything at all, basically whatever is on the screen is cast. If your phone can't do that then no.

I have the first gen chromecast and haven't yet seen a reason to upgrade. Although I've since bought a fire stick, kodi box and a remix mini this is still an awesome bit of kit and a steal at fifteen quid.

Not sure this is a great deal as you can get 2nd gen for £23 from wuaki.tv. I've not upgraded yet but I struggle with WiFi signal on my 1st gen so am going to upgrade soon for the 5ghz WiFi.

.97 usually means clearance, and its not listed as available for delivery so its going to be whatever stock will be left in any given store.
Knowing PCW stock control is not always 100% accurate, what the system says they have in store may or may not be right depending if they can find them on the rather jumbled to me shop floor.

u cannot use kodi other than to cast.. It will not work like firetv or any other box.. Its like you are connecting to HDMI cable wirelessly. If ur pc or phone runs a movie , its like showing same movie on tv by casting it. In other boxes you can install apps and its stand alone

Sorry for my ignorance, but which is better between this and a Fire stick just for using Kodi nothing else.
Thanks

The Firestick is way better for Kodi because you can install it directly to the stick but you can't install it directly on the Chromecast.
