    Never heard of that, but apparently it's a "caster" device that allows you to send streaming input from your cellphone to your TV. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-...aming-Media-Player-for-Any-Big-Screen-TV.html

    Sounds clunky to me. Just get a Roku; they aren't very expensive and have tons of free content available. For the Roku, you just need a fairly good internet connection and wireless connectivity in your home.

    Amazon reviews aren't very good... https://www.amazon.com/TVFix-Wireless-Caster-Streaming-Mirroring/dp/B08JQMMZR3

    Yep, as Beth said above, there are tons of FREE stuff available with a Roku.

    Being cheap, I've never had cable or a dish. I live in a hole, quite a ways from the transmitters, but I get 20 or so over-the-air free, hi-def channels with a rooftop antenna. Then along came streaming. I have a Roku stick on both TVs and there is so much FREE stuff available you wouldn't believe it.

    My fav channels: tubi, ROKU channel, Crackle, Pluto, Filmrise, and You Tube.

    Roku is all I use.
    Amazon Prime will no longer work
    on my older Roku after November 1st.

    I may just drop Prime Movies. They are going overboard charging extra rent, putting in ads on what is supposed to be included in the monthly or yearly fee.
