Thanks again. You should be able to, at least to an extent. You certainly can with Chromecast via the Chrome browser but of course these no-name copies dont always have all the features of the thing they are copying. They dont always get regular firmware updates either. You should carefully study the online reviews of whichever device you are interested in before deciding, to see if they will do what you want. Personally I have an official Chromecast (and a Chromecast Audio) which I use in hotels etc with my laptop to view streamed TV, and that works fine.

They are certainly a lot cheaper than a real Chromecast, but I suspect that the firmware support may not be as good. Probably worth a punt at the price though. I got my Chromecast when it was on offer at Dixons or Argos and I think I paid under £20 for it, and at that price I would stick with the real one. But here they cost £40 (equiv).

wgdanson Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 As has been said before...YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! Bht 1500 for a real one, or Bht 400 for a copy. Up to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmen Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 What is wrong with lazada? Bought one recently for around 1500 baht. A chrome cast will last you many years so saving a measly 1k will probably equate to 200 baht a year at worst Are the elcheapo versions really worth the savings?

oporhatch Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I bought one of these anycast devices as a trail.......it really depends what are you are casting for. I was doing it to stream bein sports - however after 3 attempts.... 1) kept dropping out every 20 minutes or so ..........so had to go back to the computer to start the mirror 2) reasonably successful.........moved my lpatop nearer the tv ( did not know whether it made any difference) - 1 drop 3) Same as number 2 but kept dropping every 20 minutes or so . Got fed up with it for the - as when it drops you have to re-establish the mirror.........therefore I went back to HDMI connection from Windows PC to TV Therefore my review is you pay for what you get........as stated above .........if I was going to try again I would go with Chromecast and pay the extra money just my views There is an airscreen app out there - which needs to be loaded on the TV ....which connected quite easily through chrome, however this failed with bein sports when I tried to play content.......some incompatibility - however it did mirror - how reliable would need fully testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggybanrai Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I have 4 Chromecast devices, all from LAZADA (2nd generation about <2000THB), no prb at all. Also have one XIAOMI Mi Box S that integrates Chromecast (also from LAZADA 2500THB), very handy coz it comes with its own remote (bluetooth) so you don't have to use your phone or computer By the way if you use Mac please note that MIRACAST will not work.

The drop-outs could perhaps be solved by changing the wifi channel on your router. Not guaranteed but worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koheasy Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I will highly recommend to use a genuine Chromecast or you may encounter problems, or will not be able to mirror some as Netflix, Prime video, especially if using Apple device. Chromecast or miracast are more MFI friendly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chongalulu Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Also note that if you are watching say bbc or other foreign tv stations which require a vpn ,once you try to chrome cast it to the big tv and because it thus goes back via the router the vpn disguise is lost and it is blocked . Unless anyone has found a way around this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless anyone has found a way around this? You can buy routers that handle VPN tunnels internally. They can be set up so that particular devices only use the VPN, without affecting other devices. A bit fiddly but it works. Another option should be to cast the entire desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s because the medium is YouTube which doesn’t block rather than say direct from bbc iPlayer with all its stored programmers you play at your own time.

Have a look here for a small selection: https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/best-vpn-routers There are many other models. I have one of these: https://www.asus.com/uk/Networking/RTN66U/ but for that one to work property with VPNs you need to use different firmware to that supplied by the manufacturer. Another option might be to use a mini-router just for the Chromecast. https://www.amazon.co.uk/GL-iNet-GL-MT300N-V2-Pre-installed-Performance-Compatible/dp/B073TSK26W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkerry Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Here are some pics (Bangkok) of what you should be able to find around some of the IT Malls. The M4 Plus is one of several clones of the first generation Chromecast, around 400 baht. Good article here about the various options. https://www.techadvisor.co.uk/how-to/google-android/connect-android-tv-3533870/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
