Thanks.

I'm only vaguely interested in Freevee. Mostly for the Leverage spinoff and possibility of seeing the rest of Bosch, which I saw Season 1 of before Amazon's abysmal treatment of LoveFilm put the final nail in and I've been avoiding them ever since.

I thought I had found a cheaper HD Google Chromecast but then saw the P&P "£17.10 + £7.21 Delivery".

Yes, Chromecast is technically an Android TV box and works with any TV with an HDMI socket.
Think of it as another device to watch TV on, set your TV to that HDMI input number and use the Chromecast remote to navigate what you want to watch.

Hope that helps

I've opted for the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K streaming device, to be a bit future-proof. An extra £10 at £34.99, but the base model demands £5 postage.

Good choice.

I ordered the Firestick last evening. It arrived just after lunch today (free delivery, not PRIME).

It's set up now, and I must say the image is far superior to what comes out of the V6 box.

Time for a play later.

Our daughter linked her Disney+ account to the stick, so I blasted through "The Mandalorian" and now "Secret Invasion".

Lots of stuff on Freevee has kept me very well entertained. The only downside is the complete lack of subtitles so far.

I find navigation a little clunky, but I can always ask Alexa on the remote.

Everything I've watched on Freevee has subtitles, give me a list that you're not seeing subs on and I'll check as there are 2 ways to watch Freevee via the stick but I think I've been using the Prime Video app button either on the stick or my new TV.
