Freeview works with Chromecast now

Story I spotted on Gizmodo this evening.

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but very good to know. A nice cheap(ish) way to add chatchup FTA TV on demand to the T4 using its HDMI input.

I have also used the Apple TV 4 with the Beywonwiz T4 to play catchup TV as the TV I have only provides Iview and SBS. The Apple TV accesses its catch up apps quicker then the LG 2012 47LM7600 TV i have.

Also, I have the AT4 plugged into the HDMI in on the Beyonwiz and was able to record and then access the file on the PC and play it back.
This is without use of a splitter (which I did buy from Beyonwiz to overcome this issue). That said I need to try recording various uses of the AT4 to test it more. The file on the PC i didnt look at much, so i probably need to report back on whether its audio sync is out or its jittery.

Maybe its still best to use the splitter.
