no you need a vpn if your not in england but vpn apps are in the store and east to load up . all4 on the firestick is also a better app . vpn gets you access to apps from usa uk etc etc so it is worth having

Yeah, no native All4 app for Android/Google TV is shite.

If you have the Google Home app on your phone or tablet, add your Chromecast 2020 and select it from the main page of the app there is an option to use your phone as a remote. It will let you type using your phone’s keyboard. Alternatively you can use Google play store website to search for apps and install apps on your Chromecast from there. In terms of apps it has virtually every app as android except for all 4, now tv and sky go. Chromecast 2020 uses Google TV which is meant to be the successor to Android TV but some apps such as All 4, Now TV etc have not been optimised for it and are still incompatible with it. Personally I use the big apps such as Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, Prime Video. I also use Discovery+, Paramount+, VLC for stuff I have taken off old DVD’s and Starz Play. I have been using Starz Play a lot recently. Some excellent shows on it. On a side note Discovery+ shows now appears in the continue watching section. Hopefully Prime Video and other apps will be updated to work with the Home Screen.

The new chromecast with google HD looks interesting for €39.99

its less powerful and the current one no 4k support - you could get a 4k firestick for not much more

i think the new hd chromecast is the biggest waste of time ever

I'll let you know during the week. iv one on the way for a family member to run kodi and iptv. She already has the 4k so will be easy to compare. It's for a teenagers bedroom so doesn't have to be shield quality or 4k.so hopefully a cheap way of doing it

Installed the latest Android 12 update . it seems to gove a bit more life and options to the device for them that still use it
