It is easier to get the apps going by casting from my phone (strangely turning on Chromecast by pressing the cast button automatically turns on my pre-smart TV and selects the correct input) so I use my phone for all three streaming services as well as iPlayer.

Not yet ready to ditch recorded linear programmes, however. One reason is that I must have subtitles. Once you get away from the major linear channels, subtitles are somewhat hit and miss. For example, though iPlayer has them for recorded programmes it doesn't for live programmes or if you use the 'start from the beginning' facility.

This is something i noticed regarding skyq my netflix, itvhub etc pic quality is better from my nvidia shield than skyq, however live channel wise skyq wins hands down for pic quality.
