Hi there

I want to ditch Dstv so, after talking to a number of folks, I bought a Minix NEO-U1 in the belief that it, and my Sony Bravia TV could do anything I want.

Naive, no?

Sadly, what I want is local newstation eNCA, Supersport for the rugby, documentaries and movies.

Seems great for some old BBC programs (Dinner Ladies, e.g), but no good for M.A.S.H., no good for movies, Supersport or eNCA.

I turned to Netflix for the movies only to find that this device is not supported by Netflix.

I have tried 'side-loading' a Netflix APK but without success and, from what I read, it isn't very successful anyway.

Question: Can I download some app to sort out my Minix or do I junk it and turn to a ChromeCast or ChromeCast Ultra and will either of those stream the modest list of my wants as noted above?

Any help appreciated.

PS I am a battle-scarred old accountant so assume that my tech knowledge is marginally above that of a goldfish.
