The Boofon Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Can you use Chromecast for this? Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'll try again Saturday morning.Give me something to take my mind off of my inevitable hangover. Link to comment
Admin Bebo Posted June 17, 2015 Admin Share Posted June 17, 2015 Can you use Chromecast for this? Nope. Chromecast doesn't have any internal memory. Chromecast is literally just for mirroring content from your many devices onto a bigger screen. You need a phone, computer or tablet to use it. The Firestick is a a mini-computer on a stick you can install apps on without the need of another device. Link to comment

caledonia Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 Not sure but a lot of things cant handle smart setup including a lot of smart tvs and apple/android things A problem occurs on Apple and Android devices because when a wireless device is connected to the Homehub, "smart set up" opens an on line wizard showing what BT features and services are available. http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/44415/related/1/session/L2F2LzEvdGltZS8xMzk1NDQ0OTQyL... Because this would appear to have been designed for Windows it does not open on Apple and Android devices but it does cause these devices to receive a slow connection to the Homehub. If you turn off "smart set up", it stops this problem and the devices will have normal speeds from the Homehub. Link to comment
