Google launched the Chromecast way back in 2013 and it’s proved so popular that there have been several iterations since.

It’s a TV streaming device that plugs into the HDMI port on the back of your telly.

Once it’s in, you can use your smartphone to “cast” content to the TV from popular apps like BBC iPlayer and Netflix.

You can also use the device to mirror your laptop screen to your TV via your Chrome browser, allowing you to surf the web on the big screen.

The need for Chromecasts has waned in recent years due to the rising popularity of smart TVs, which have streaming apps built into their software.

However, plenty of people are still using tellies that don’t connect to the internet and so need a separate device to watch their favourite Netflix hits.

Google also makes a Chromecast Audio that connects to speakers which don’t have Bluetooth connectivity.

All prices were correct at the time of writing.
