rc=aw.ds IMO you don't need the more expensive 'ultra' chromecasts - we've had 2 basic ones for a few years, and have no issues using them for netflix etc. lyl_guy - 2020-11-24 15:52:00 |

| 7 | Maybe but they are not Google chromecast devices. Chromecast is a Google manufactured product. There are many devices which will cast. They are not necessarily equal. nice_lady - 2020-11-24 16:38:00 |

6K It says in the listing
"Fully Support Netflix, Youtube, Google and other games videos movies sites (NOTE: It doesn't support Netflix if you use iPhone or iPad)" So netflix won't work with your ipad. lyl_guy - 2020-11-24 17:40:00 |

| 15 | What you want is Apple TV. It’s Apple’s version of the Chromecast. You can use the built in Netflix app. sw20 - 2020-11-24 18:01:00 |

6K You can buy a knock-off "Chromecast" dongle like the one above for $30 and it may or may not work and it may or may not last. Or you could spend around $70 for a genuine Google Chromecast dongle. If you can't find it on TradeMe there are plenty of other online stores such as Harvey Norman. (The $70 "2018" version of the dongle will suffice for most folk). In addition to the dongle, you will need an Internet connection (preferably broadband) and a WiFi network. To watch Netflix you will need a Netflix account and have the Netflix app installed on yor iPad. Edited by wembley1 at 6:14 pm, Tue 24 Nov wembley1 - 2020-11-24 18:12:00 |

Thank you I have wifi and I have a Netflix account will go to the shops and get one thank you hayleyjd - 2020-11-24 18:16:00 |
| 18 | That's what I said. What you otherwise seemed to be asking was about products which are cheap and not actual Chromecasts. A Chromecast isn't a 'type of product' it's a BRANDED product made by Google. There are plenty of knockoffs and as I said they may not be as good. nice_lady - 2020-11-24 18:28:00 |

If you have Apple TV there is no need for airplay, apps are downloaded as required and stored in the Apple STB. remmers - 2020-11-25 09:34:00 |

| 25 | Chromecast Ultra support 4k _ if you plan to upgrade to a 4k TV (or maybe it already is if new enough?). ANycast is a bit tricky as their is so many knocks off that are cheap and nasty - its quite hard to tell apart from listings. The anycast website has a whole section on how to spot knock-offs. acura - 2020-11-26 19:07:00 |

l-grey/R2520467.html#q=chromecast&start=1 noticed you want to use afterpay so you'll have to add something to the order to push it over $50 or wait till the sale ends and pay full price |
