    Are there any ebay codes to make it even cheaper?

    • Clear on 08/05/2024 - 10:09

      Nah all those dirty neggers don't believe in cheaper prices. They only want deals at full price or RRP.

      • Clear on 08/05/2024 - 11:46

        Add another 2 neggers to the list of who likes to pay full price only. Shall we have more?

    • snoopydoop on 08/05/2024 - 11:40

      Can't use two codes but can use discounted gift cards. Maybe cashback but often using a code is excluded

    • Iluvfreebies on 08/05/2024 - 12:55

      To neggers, When this was posted there were no listed by OP

      This and I have both. I had to sideload stremio and tivimate on fire stick where Chromecast just had it.

      • BLAIL on 08/05/2024 - 10:29

        wait so I can use the Stremio + Real debrid on the chromecast or just Stremio.

        • ClioB on 08/05/2024 - 10:47
          +1

          Stremio is the video add-on. Stremio then 'talks' to RD to get you the service. So all you need it to be able to load Stremio on the device, the rest is done in the add-on's settings.

      • jimmymac on 08/05/2024 - 11:32

        What IPTV provider/s are you using for tivimate? Worth the money?

          I'd recommend keeping this dicussion in the DM's, might break TOS of this site.

    • PainToad on 08/05/2024 - 07:40

      Firestick
      Pros - better specs
      Cons - worse software

      Chromecast TV
      Pros - better software
      Cons - worse specs

      I recommend spending more and getting an AppleTV. Now that emulators are probably coming to AppleTV I don’t see any advantage to Android based streaming sticks anymore (besides price).

      • Westpac on 08/05/2024 - 08:23

        What are emulators?

        • PainToad on 08/05/2024 - 08:25
          +1

          For playing retro games.

      • asa79 on 08/05/2024 - 08:27

        Firestick has emulators as well

        • PainToad on 08/05/2024 - 08:29

          Where did I say it didn’t? My point was the advantage Android devices have is the ability to run emulators easily. That is soon probably not going to be an advantage anymore because AppleTV will have them also.

          • asa79 on 08/05/2024 - 08:40
            +5

            @PainToad: apple is always a locked down eco system, i wouldnt hold to much hope on that being to the same level of the firestick or higher end android boxes unforunately

            • PainToad on 08/05/2024 - 08:55
              +1

              @asa79: Emulators are now officially allowed. They’ve already made it onto the App Store for iPhones and iPads. The Provance emulator is currently going through review for the AppleTV.

              The only thing that isn’t allowed is JIT which means no high end emulation like PS2, GameCube and Wii. But none of these cheap Android sticks will do those either. The ShieldTV can, but that’s not a stick or cheap.

      • p1 ama on 08/05/2024 - 08:57

        I don’t see any advantage to Android based streaming sticks anymore (besides price).

        Sure, but price is a huge one. Apple TV costs 3-4x more. It's a bit ridiculous to expect that a $50 product gives you the same experience as a $200+ product.

        Not that I don't see the value in an Apple TV, more so that it's just a different market segment.

        • PainToad on 08/05/2024 - 08:58

          For sure. But for something I use all the time, I’d personally spend the extra money.

      • the-fuzz on 08/05/2024 - 09:22

        Why get an Apple TV - for the price, grab a Nvidia Shield - much better unit

        • PainToad on 08/05/2024 - 11:05

          I decent alternative, but I wouldn’t say “much better”.

          As for why not, well the thing is ancient now and still expensive considering its age.

          • Obake on 08/05/2024 - 13:18

            @PainToad: Yeah, the only reason I have one is it does audio passthrough for Dolby Atmos or DTS:X. None of the other devices mentioned has that.

      • Euthyphro on 08/05/2024 - 11:20

        Apple TV
        Pros - same display quality as Chromecast with Google TV
        Cons - Apple price tag

      This if you want to watch Kayo in 4k.

      • ozbs25 on 08/05/2024 - 08:44

        If I buy this they'll probably push out an update to the Firestick. Not sure what's taking them so long. Is it contractual?

        • Blasters on 08/05/2024 - 09:33
          +2

          Please buy this so they push out the 4K update to the Firestick. Thank you… :)

      • XxBargainHuntaxX on 08/05/2024 - 12:15

        Niche but noteworthy - if like many others on ozbargain, you have a Turkish Google play profile for cheap YouTube premium, you cannot download Kayo onto the chromecast. It will say “not available in your country”. My Samsung TV kayo app allows for 4K so it’s not an issue for me, but might be for others.

        • Cousin IT on 08/05/2024 - 13:07

          Can't you just sign in to the Chromecast with the Aussie Account and use your Turkish account on the YouTube app?

          • XxBargainHuntaxX on 08/05/2024 - 13:33

            @Cousin IT: It’s probably on me for not making an entirely different account for Turkish YouTube - I’ve got an Australian Google account with a Turkish payments profile. I’m not gonna mess with it out of fear of losing cheap YouTube premium, and it’s no biggie since in-built TV apps + fire stick + PS5 all offer alternatives for Kayo, and Kayo + Binge are the only apps affected on the chromecast. Can still cast to it just fine from my phone. But anyone who wants a chromecast for 4K Kayo while having a Turkish payments profile attached to their Google account will be shit outta luck without another device that can run Kayo 4K

      Firestick for TrueHD passthrough and refresh rate switching that works.

      • pacificstorm on 08/05/2024 - 08:06

        How responsive is the interface on this? On the 4K Firestick man, like liquid butter.

        • blues99 on 08/05/2024 - 08:12

          4k max is definitely more responsive - i have both

        • mantis0147 on 08/05/2024 - 12:57

          I cant help with comparisons, but if you allow dev mode, you can change the animations to half time duration which makes it snappier.

    • Geekbenchantutu on 08/05/2024 - 08:17

      I have both. Firestick has better processor and only better thing I found with it is dialogue enhancer. If only dialogue enhancer is available in chromecast, I would prefer this way over firestick despite weaker processor

      • pacificstorm on 08/05/2024 - 08:24

        I would prefer this way over firestick despite weaker processor

        Mmm sounds like you are more impressed with the Firestick's performance and features and yet still prefer Google. Brand loyalty?

  • ForkSnorter on 08/05/2024 - 07:47

    Does the Google Chromecast include Prime Video?

    Oh, I see it's only Ebay Plus.

      What?!?

    • adinico on 08/05/2024 - 08:03

      To use Google Chromecast with Prime Video, you need the most recent version of the Prime Video app for either iOS or Android. From the Prime Video app, select the Cast icon. Select the Chromecast device that you wish to use. Your iOS or Android device must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Chromecast.

      https://www.google.com/search?q=prime+video+on+chromecast+tv…

      • Cousin IT on 08/05/2024 - 13:13

        That's to use the Chromecast casting protocol, aka send it from you phone or PC to the device, it's what the previous generations of Chromecast did.

        This one can still cast, but have the OS too, you just download the app and can stream Prime Video content directly from the device without needing another device to cast from.

    • Geekbenchantutu on 08/05/2024 - 08:16

      I could easily download on my chromecast from their official store. The responsiveness is not the great compared to firestick but overall chromecast is much better for its UI

      • Rusty Nail on 08/05/2024 - 12:58

        Prime runs like sh1t on my chromecast. Even the old foxtel box in the shed runs Prime better.

  • nizzkid on 08/05/2024 - 08:11

    Can this be used without an internet connection? I want to stream from my phone to an old tv.

    • Geekbenchantutu on 08/05/2024 - 08:15
      +1

      You may not need internet connection (not definitely sure) but you definitely need to be connected to same wifi network to be able to stream

  • ClioB on 08/05/2024 - 08:15

    Is this better than my smart TV to run Kodi? I have an old-ish Sony. My TV is quite slow, especially with widgets. Running Fen + RealDebrid. Or FireStick/other?

    • Tommohalby on 08/05/2024 - 08:29

      Yes

    • pennypincha on 08/05/2024 - 08:44

      Yes. 1000% better.

    • ClioB on 08/05/2024 - 09:43

      Thanks guys. So… This / wait for the new model / something else you'd recommend? I don't mind spending more as I use Fen + RD exclusively now.

      • WwDesi on 08/05/2024 - 09:48

        If you don’t mind spending then invest in a SHIELD TV and don’t need to worry about it for a few years simple

      I had this issue with variable frame rate matching. I think I fixed it by setting it to the TVs frame rate. Doesn't happen with all TVs either.

    • Ramrunner on 08/05/2024 - 12:01

      Really? I'm using FRM on both my LG OLED and 2011 Samsung.

      Works fine?

      I have to choose the SECOND FRM option (can't remember what it's called) the first one doesn't work but I can handle the small blanking while it changes refresh rate then it's all OK? No stuttering.

      • mantis0147 on 08/05/2024 - 12:58

        Yep the second option is Non-Seamless. I know mine is on the same option and i don't have framerate problems.

      Absolutely

      • BatmanAU on 08/05/2024 - 11:49

        Does it have all the normal TV channels, or will they still have to manoeuvre around that?

        • mantis0147 on 08/05/2024 - 13:01

          Would love other input, but for me the only way to have the FTA channels on this is via IPTV. I got the stream urls from Matt Huisman and put them on tivimate (I'm only using the free version). Personally, I find it easier to still use FTA like normal. You can set up the remote buttons to do other things or even just with HDMI CEC makes it simple enough to switch between on a single remote.

          • BatmanAU on 08/05/2024 - 15:19
