I have been using Chromecasts for more than 5 years (purchased in US before released in NZ) and love using them. When I read that this Media Stick also had a built-in Chromecast and I had a TV that needed a new Chromecast, I thought I'd give this a shot. What an excellent decision!! This is a Chromecast with a Remote Control. It is very simple to get started and the Android TV OS is ready to play Netflix and other streaming services. Even though I don't have an Android phone, setting up my Google account and linking everything was very easy.

I have a household of non-smart TVs and had previously bought a Mi Box S. Based on the success of the Mi Box I subsequently bought this stick device for another TV. It's excellent value for money but with that you can't expect ultra high performance. It's perfect for the average person's requirements with an easy and consistent interface and well supported with all the major (and many minor) apps for your entertainment pleasure.

We have an old 42" plasma which we didnt know what to do with, then we saw this little beauty and decided to turn our plasma into a smart tv, and this works a treat! It can update the pre-installed apps and operating system, as well download new apps from the play store, although I will probably only use Netflix and Youtube apps on this. Maybe Disney+ in the future. It came with VLC media player installed so we can browse the network and play videos from our storage drives. Great buy for the price =)

Great device and can run Netflix, TVNZ ondemand and also Three now, through this stick. Fast shipping too. Thanks heaps.

I’m very impressed with this living rural and not many options for television without a large antenna. TVNZ, ThreeNow, Netflix, YouTube, VLC etc all work flawlessly, Chromecast built-in, HDMI CEC support meaning you can control both your actual TV and Mi TV with either remote control you wish to use, switching off the Mi TV will switch the TV onto standby automatically too if you wish to have that feature. It works with Google Home too, I fall asleep with TV on sometimes while I’m in bed, I tell the Google to turn off the tv in 30 minutes and (if CEC is switched on your tv and Mi Stick) it shuts down the Mi TV and puts the tv on standby all...view more
