I did a quick search to see if this had been mentioned before, but I couldn't see any reference to it.

I recently had two V6 boxes installed. I've changed the name on both so that when I'm looking at recordings, I know which is which. As you do.

However what I'm wondering is, does anyone know a way to change the casting name of the device? I've had a good scan through the settings but can't see anything obvious.

I've already got the Xbox/Android TV and Chromecast all named appropriately so I know where they are, but the V6 boxes are named something like, 30BE and 6JY1. I believe this is the latter part of the box registration or something.

It's something that shouldn't bother me, I know but it really grips my ****. Living room V6 and Bedroom V6 would give me a restful night's sleep.
