Agree, recently bought a couple of sandisk SD cards off there. Tried to copy some films on and they wouldn't play. Ran a utility off the web on both and they were both fake with only about 20% of the advertised capacity. Got my money back but apparently its common as most people see they are working and don't find out for ages they aren't right as it usually takes a while to fill them up.

Inverurie Ram Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 @RoyMac5 just put the Firefox App on your Firestick which gives you Google. Simplicity is Genius! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried it but trouble is we've a 'poor' broadband connection, so whilst it can be done in reality it falls over too often to be watchable. Ta though.

BathRam72 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Not sure if this has been resolved or there is another thread covering this. But on your firestick there is a nee mirroring app, which allows you to link your phone directly to your tv. Simply press and hold the home button on your firestick then select mirroring. Then on your phone pull down the menu from the top of the screen and select smart view. Wait for the fire tv link to open up and select it. Everything you see on your phone will display on your tv. Good resolution as well. Apparently doesnt work will all phones. Worth a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave the Firestick to my brother as I couldn't be bothered and then we got a new smart tv. But just tried the mirroring - got a Huawei phone - an app called MirrorShare. Works on RTV with old videos but I bet it won't with live broadcasts. Ta though for the reminder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirror screening live games is blocked. It's only possible via an inbuilt search engine or a cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmo’s left foot Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I run Rams TV on my iPhone In chrome, then I have an adaptor cable to plug my iPhone into the HDMI socket on the TV, works very well and the TV automatically switches across. HDMI cable from a laptop directly into the TV would be plan B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor_111 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 You can install any app you have on your phone on to the Firestick - Ram 's TV included. If its your 1st time, it may take a little time to get the hang of it.. But be patient, it really is straightforward and ultimately worthwhile. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramaway Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Can live games be viewed via a Smart TV? I don’t have one at the moment but will buy one If it is possible to do so. I have a laptop / hdmi cable but would prefer to watch directly via tv. The info on the Rams TV website states it is not possible but fans on Twitter saying it is through internet search.

If you have a Web browser on the TV itself you might be able to watch it through that. I guess it's not fully supported by Derby hence why they say it doesn't work.

You can use the browser on the smart TV but these are mostly like trying to cook toast with a lighter. HDMI into the TV from your laptop will provide the best quality/experience.

A Kodi plugin would be nice though Mel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuff264 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Easiest thing would be a chrome cast or similar, can cast from PC or phone on network to TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have blocked casting to a tv. It has to be via a cable. You can watch under 18s, under 23s and prerecorded stuff, but 1st team games you can't.

Well, I can't imagine for one minute that it has anything to do with multi-million pound deals and broadcasting rights, so it's certainly got me flummoxed! ?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Does anyone know when and how the codes/passes come through if you have opted for option 3 ? I want to "practice" for Saturday. I've got an HDMI adaptor for my ipad to the TV so am thinking it will work that way ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
