EZcast?

Sky apps tend to get blocked from casting because it's seen as a way to avoid paying for multiroom, apparently.

Are you trying to watch the cricket?

Thanks, will try EZcast.

Watched most of yesterday. Feeling a bit happier about things after today's performance

Is there a way to chromecast sky sports mobile from an iphone?

i do also have a fire stick with a prime account and Kodi, and it's also very useful

but chromecast for me probably still has the edge, i can share my phone / tablet / laptop in a maximum of 3 clicks, making my content available on a large screen from an interface i use everyday

all for £30

Got a smart TV a year ago and had a real 'DOH' moment last week, some obscure format vids off my old camera were on a memory stick and they popped up and played with no problem.

In the past I would have said something like my laptop or smartphone, but these days its my SONOS kit, I genuinely believe we could not live without it in the house, digital radio means we are picking up channels we wouldn't have otherwise unless we played it thought the TV (RadioX and Radio4Extra), added the Deezer subscription so the playlist function is outstanding, have it pulling my media library from my NAS which has all my iTunes podcasts on and can just follow me round the house from room to room.

I've got something at home that follows me round the house from room to room emanating constant noise as well..... I don't think she would be like to be classed as a gadget or technology though..

well according to Stephen Fry's best 100 gadgets ever which was on over the festive period.

it should be the cigarette lighter - mainly for it's ability to give us fire at the press of a button when without it (or a match) lighting a fire is a bit difficult

and once you have fire you can keep warm, cook etc....

did something similar recently with all the kids photo's and video, about 200GB worth all sitting on hard drives in a draw never accessed

uploaded to Amazon cloud drive (unlimited photo storage), viewed through Fire TV Stick, they actually have some value now as they're accessible and the kids can entertain themselves by going through old pics too
