This might suit us to the ground. Are there any other options worth considering?

Not really, for the price its very good and cheaper than online when you include delivery.

Thanks OP, i'd wanted one of these for ages so I'll grab one on my lunch

As Kenny points out this is only be available in the UK, think I saw some posts on boards about how to get this here but I cannot find them, so probably best to assume it won't work.

I would have thought that's decent stock and can be ordered in everywhere else.

Whoops , this is a great price if your tv didn't have miracast or wifi direct , tempted to buy it for the sake of having it hmmm

Muahahaha

Is there any way to get BBC iPlayer to work with the Chromecast or are you better off with a Roku box and changing the DNS on your router ?

I've bought two chromecast from amazon.de for 35 euro each inc. delivery but I live in Germany.
I use google chrome and mediahint which is supposedly now expired but bbc iplayer still works and I cast to the chromcast from chrome.
Previously I was using expatshield but that's definitely not installed and I get access to iplayer.

Thanks for that, I think I'll get a NowTV box this week. I've got a Cisco EPC3925 router, I think it's the standard one that UPC supply, they installed it about 3 years back. Any ideas if changing the DNS on these is simple or should I be looking to get a new router too ? If so any recommendations on something not too expensive that is easy to change the DNS ? Sorry for the dumb questions, it's just I'm gagging to get BBC iPlayer and wanna make sure I've got the right equipment to receive it

I bought my chromecast from amazon.co.uk last month

its approx 37 euro now there with free delivery as well - plenty of availability.

I guess 40 is okay for bricks and mortar argos - however amazons probably a better option than groupon if you are buying online

Is that UK only? I've had my Google Wallet account locked/closed for spoofing my location to redeem a $25 gift card. I can still use all of their services, but just can't give them any more money. :pac:

Thanks OP. Been looking to get one of these for a while but have been slow to bite the bullet. Just ordered one and will wait for it to come back into stock.

Would this be an option to have Netflix on a tv ? I have an iPad and I'm looking for a way to wirelessly stream Netflix to the tv in the kids bedroom and if so would the quality be good ?

I can watch Filmon on Chromecast via the Playto app using my android. I've found it very good recently, although the reviews aren't great. I use the paid version which is couple of quid, but the free version might well work ok.

No, you need a Plex server to be running also. Either on a NAS or on a PC.
