...does it show up on other devices linked to the same TV?

Asking for a friend. Wink

Yes. When my dh and I cast we can see each other's programme choices. Only when we're connected to the same wifi,mind.

Nope, doesn't go anywhere else. Can't explain why sorry. My more techy friend who is visiting told me. Hopefully someone else can confirm.

Oh well looks like my friend is wrong, sorry!

Thank you both. I accidentally clicked on a slightly embarrassing video earlier (not porn) and was a bit worried my DP will have noticed. However, he's not at home, so not connected to same WiFi, so should be in the clear. Smile

Yes, my choice of PornHub video cast straight to my neighbour's TV.

Joke :P

I have no idea. I am pretty sure it is just the device that you have enabled on whatever you are casting from.

Yes. When my DP is downstairs and casting some bloody Ed China YouTube
video onto the TV, it shows on my phone what is being cast, probably because we are on the same network.
