Ok, I'll try and get hold of one and see if that works

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

What phone do you use?
Samsung
The best thing would be to get a google chromecast for your TV - it's about £30 (currently available at Argos)
This will allow you to cast from your phone or laptop to the TV. It's not just for Spurs player, it will let you cast Netflix, Prime or anything that you're looking at on a Google Chrome web page on your TV.
As suggested you can just run a HDMI cable from your laptop too but it's not the best solution.
I have managed to Cast Spursplay from the laptop and the phone, it's not too hard, I promise!
Seen 202 Days, The Lane and Home Again, all were great watches, I thought the Lane was excellent in fairness.
Thanks for that, I'll give that a go.
Your IT guy should have explained that to you.Thanks for that, I'll give that a go.
Anyway, they're easy to install (Chromecast).
He downloaded the chromecast app, but for whatever reason, it wasn't happening, Anyway, I've ordered one and will pick it up tomorrow. Fingers crossed I can set it up myself, after all, I did manage to set up the TV
It really isn't. Match threads are usually dripping with links..... Just bookmark a bunch of the websites and then have a sniff around 15mins before kickoff.
So you can't cast your computer desktop with it? ......Just apps?
Anyone know of something that does? ........Essentially like HDMI but without the cable?

The chromecast will not cast your desk top, weird distinction but it's not screen mirroring.
Though oddly if you use an Android phone you can mirror anything on your phone.
You can cast any content on Google Chrome though.
Edit - if you have a Smart TV, some offer 'screen mirroring' which allows you to treat your TV as an extra monitor to your PC. My sony TV does this but it's flakey for sharing video playback.

What was the thing called , it was a kind of toy that was Spurs ? It lasted a few months then disappeared
If your tv has an Internet browser, it's possible but it's a ball ache, I think casting a device or plugging in a laptop are much easier.
Just watched two of the Legacy videos (Ossie and Ledley). Loved them. They better do a Stevie one!!
its prime day tomorrow and it already looks like the firesticks are going for as little as £15. those allow display mirroring too (aka casting)Thanks for that, I'll give that a go.
The chromecast app won't do anything unless you have the physical device plugged into the TV.He downloaded the chromecast app, but for whatever reason, it wasn't happening, Anyway, I've ordered one and will pick it up tomorrow.

Once you get one, it's a doodle to set up.
