    The Google Chromecast stick does the same thing for £30 sterling and if you have an Android tablet you're guaranteed it will work. I'd avoid that gadget you're looking at.

    No, buy it from Amazon UK. For £30 its not worth the risk of getting some Chinese knock-off that doesn't work.

    Hi, hope someone can help. I installed playbox on the iPad (1st gen) and works a treat. I wanted to stream it to the tv now and went and bought the iconbit omnicast dongle. Installed it along with the ezcast app and I just can't get it to work at all. I was reading up on it but think I might need to install cydia, then appsync unified and then app cake to stream! Tried to do this but couldn't. Anyone have any recommendations, going spare trying to hook it up! Thanks
