Also, the first month is free (you can cancel your order at the end of the month at no cost) so it can't hurt to give a try.

Cheers mate

Righteo, giving this a wee go ehile its free but have a quick question for the gurus. My tv only has one hdmi port which usually runs from the blue-ray player, at the moment im having to unplug from the blue-ray to plug into the laptop instead.
Am looking into getting an hdmi switch and chromecast jobbie instead of having to plug in the laptop everytime. Now the question is, will a bog standard hdmi switch work or will it need to be a bit more special for the chromecast to plug into?

I think chrome cast is usb 3.. Think

I would think any latest standards HDMI switch will do the trick or buy a smart TV...LOL

Its hdmi mate...... already looked into it, why would I waste my time asking about a hdmi switch if I didn't know what type of port it used

Yeah new tv would be nice but thats not an option right now, so will just have to make do with my 10year old plasma tv ;).

Was looking at something like this http://www.jaycar.com.au/Sight-%26-S...ction/p/AC1708 but was thinking it might be over kill.

Or something simple like this to plug the chromecast into but like I said before, unsure if it would work...... http://www.jaycar.com.au/Sight-%26-S...ntrol/p/AC1705

I would think you would need a "special" one... and don't forget to wipe the crayon marks and drool off the screen to enhance your viewing pleasure

I reckon this one will be all you need; you're just looking for a switch for straight through data transfer so it should do the trick. The guys at Joondalup are pretty helpful, so ask them and they will set you right.

You could pick something like that on evilbay for about $5 but yeah it will do the job. I wouldn't spent a hundred as thats about half a TV these days...LOL
