    Yes but as far as I know boards.ie don't want you talking about it here because of piracy so this post will probably be taken down.

    Avia from the Play store is your best bet OP.

    No, get Bubble UPnP or AllCast.....either better than Avia, IMO.

    not true, in my experience.....and my BB is only 3.5MB, at best.

    My Netflix also streams very well, both above to my LG Smart TV. Using either Bubble or AllCast, or MX Player on my Nexus.

    Local cast is better than all the aforementioned apps as a partner for showbox. And it's free.

    You're right, but there are in-app purchases to remove ads.

    Also, its exclusively Chromecast, whereas the others mentioned work with various devices, like Roku, Smart TV's, etc, etc.

    But local cast is good.
