Thanks for the feedback and pictures MrZippo. I don't think it's that much of an issue for me then so i'll be getting a Nexus 7 v2 myself in the near future

No problem mate, you will love it! HD content looks great on the beautiful screen.

Both my Nexus 7 and Chromecast turned up within an hour of each other today.

It's like Christmas!!

what does chromecast offer over say a smart tv?

smart tvs (depending on make and model) are

slow
don't have netflix
youtube apps simply dont work....EVER
can't stream any chromecast compatible app (like a future plex release)

plus for £25 you can make a non smart tv, smart

where did you order the cast from mate, and how much? Everywhere I've seen them they are going for £70, plus shipping, plus customs.

Nothing for me so far but mine was shipped via USPS.

Im guessing ParcelFarce will take the P155 now, have you heard anything about the custom charges yet?

Contacted them, they've passed it to Yodel! Now got another tracking number, it's still out and to be delivered by the 8th so it should be today (fingers tightly crossed).

Oh for please sake no Yodel, they are $#:&!
