Chromecast Or Ultra ?

[llamekuf]

Which one is best please.
Is it worth the extra to get Ultra?

Google appears to have discontinued the Chromecast Ultra. This relates to its availability (or lack of it) in the USA

but, having checked on the websites of Amazon UK, Curry's, etc, the position seems to be much the same in the UK.

If you're considering alternatives to a Chromecast, either a Now TV stick or an Amazon Fire stick might be better but it depends upon exactly what it is that you want the device for. (They all convert a 'non-smart' TV into a 'smart' one but that won't give you anything at all worthwhile if your TV is already 'smart'. You need to think about what else it is you want from such a device).

Hi,
Having just read the latest issue, 18 November to 1 December) of Computeractive magazine, they give a very comprehensive article on several TV sticks, ranging from Amazon Fire to Roku. Reading between the lines, it would seem that the Roku came out best. Might be worth getting a copy.Good luck.
