Sorry, no experience of Chromebooks so I'd have to recommend a Google search for info. Perhaps worth trying a different HDMI port on your TV?


Thanks for your help anyway

That's a pretty good score. My guess is that it will probably work OK. No guarantees, however!


It's still not working, but on the test site it mentioned something about the Opera browser, so I tried downloading that, but after 30 minutes it still hadn't finished, so I'm gonna leave it till early tomorrow morning and then try again.

Went into the settings in my Chromebook just now and had a play.......managed to mirror something by accident and now it's working a treat

I tried it on my TV but it’s blown the valve.
I rang David Burys for the TV repairman, but apparently he died 40 years ago.
Oh well, I’ve been thinking about upgrading to a colour one for a while.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

What VPN's are people using?


Nord VPN, there's a good deal. Three years for 99 dollars.

I read that Opera have some sort of video streaming thing going on these days but, again, don't have any experience of that. You're probably best off searching using your TV model number as it will depend on what Smart TV software is used.

Regarding the HTML5test web site, my (relatively modern) PC using firefox gets 494/555. I'd imagine the breakdown will show if the Smart TV bit has enough video support - it mentions which codecs are supported or not. Unfortunately, a quick search about iFollow doesn't mention which codec they use so that leaves us none the wiser! Good luck, in any case.

We'll done to PP for fluking his way to a solution!

So I finally sorted it out this morning!  Surprising what a good nights sleep and 3 Weetabix can do for the old brain.

In the end it was really simple, I had a look at the apps, and noticed a 'TV Browser' app, thought I would have a look at that.  Bingo!!!  Typed in the url for iFollow and that was it, the video worked perfectly, now I'm all ready for 23rd August.  Thanks to everyone, especially Maringer for your help.
