Guys, for anyone out there who stream to the telly using chromecast, what are your thoughts on it? My TV is in the room next to my router and the signal is very strong - I am running ADSL2 and getting between 10-12mbps.

Is it worth getting? Once they sort out the NBN issues in my area I will be upgrading to the package with Fetch but for now I'm wanting to go with Chromecast so I can watch on the TV, I am hearing either really good reviews or really bad reviews, keen to hear the thoughts of the kind folk on here

Anyone else have fetch mini issues ? Appears mine is dead according to floptus.
No. Watching Neverton in crystal clear picture quality.
Also using the iPad to watch German Cup v beIN app. That's going to get heavy use this season.

I can still watch through Chromecast but much prefer Fetch. Not everyone has a 87765mbps connection like you !!

Just remember. Next time someone mocks us as sleepy hollow well that's not true, with these speeds I'm in never sleeping hollow. Netflix FTW!
Had my bday this week so I'm considering using some $$$ on a chromecast but not sure if it's worth getting one if you already have an Apple TV. Hmmm.

I tried it but was jumpy quality, chromecast performance depends more on the quality of the router than the internet speed (you will have no issues with fetch box with that speed). Best thing to do is borrow a chromecast from a friend and try it first before buying one yourself.
 
The Fetch Mini has become pretty integral to my home setup. Perfect streaming when cabled to my NBN router for Optus Sports, Netflix and Stan and is the only device I have that gives me zero issues when using USB hard drives. It's an easy $5 a month for me (which should be $0 a month due to this obvious corporate shill).

Thanks mate, ended up buying one yesterday and gave it a whirl for the first time during last nights games, was actually really good, quality was excellent, couldn't fault tbh. Hopefully that continues

Is anyone still having issues with dropouts/freezing/has there been reported issues etc or is that all behind us now? I must say, everything has been perfect watching with either my iPhone or MacBook on my TV.

The quality has actually been a lot better than when it was on Foxtel play (provided my internet worked, which it always does).

Explain the USB part for me, how does that come into a box like this?

There's a USB port on the side of the box so it works as an all round media hub.

i did last night but i watched the city replay earlier and i rarely had any problems. a few 5-10 second moments of horrible quality.

still not certain it's worth my 15 a month however.
