Sprout is right buddy; you can only cast stuff to Chromecast using an android device or an iOS device; you can't install any apps whatsoever on a castHmmm....same with the firestick?
I haven't looked into properly to be fair, so that ll go and do some homework.
Cheers.
A firestick is different, you can install Kodi and many other apps and then use it with a remote control. However if you can afford the spare cash I highly recommend the fire TV 4k, much, much more powerful in comparison and also has an Ethernet connection which will give you better Wi-Fi speeds as well, it's also on sale now for £65 :)
That's a bummer.
Mind you, the main reason is for access to Netflix in the other room...to stop battles when certain shows clash (footy and that PLL show the kids watch) :)
Had a quick look at the Firestick 4k...and it does indeed look the dogs (although it would be a fair while before I upgrade to a blinking 4k set). Ethernet is always a bonus: I laid a few hundred metres of Cat6 when I renovated our house...but haven't managed to traverse up to the 'Node Zero' (loft) and terminate it all. Wi-Fi dropouts (even with a quick Virgin connection) are a pain in the arse.
I'm just back from picking the Chromecast up - the reviews do hold it in high regard, so it should be useful even as a stop gap...but without much research, I'm presuming using a remote app to control the likes of netflix it should be half decent (it's the latest model).

Is this something I should know about Guy, or will it be well beyond my limited capabilities? If so I'm happy to stick with Agueroooo's fantastic provision.
