Thought others might find this particular buy useful...just recently bought a portable power bank off amazon for £22 and it is very useful for when I am out and about. So far I have charged my phone 6 time and still have enough for a few more charges. Iphone users would find it useful.

They're handy yokes to have alright. I got a small one (2000mAh) in EuroGiant for 2 Euro. Thought it was great value. Was in another EuroGiant in Dublin on Tuesday and they were 10 Euro so it may have been a mis-price.

There's also an app called Showbox for Android.
Its for all the latest movies and TV shows. Like Netflix only better and free.
Just Google Showbox.apk and download and install.

I've put Mobdro on a wee shitty tablet and it works fine. The tablet has its own Micro HDMI port, would it only be a matter of plugging it into the HDMI port of the TV with a straight micro HDMI to standard HDMI cable?

Modbro is hit and miss as the quality of streams can be dreadful.

Would be great if you could cast it to tv/chromecast.

Mobdro is superb. Works pretty well for me.

Have you a link to the showbox one. There are a few when I google it, and I don't want to run ANY risk of downloading a rogue one.

Google showbox.apk

It's the first link that turns up for me, although I'm on google.ie.

If you have chromecast or a smart tv, download LocalCast and stream from showbox through it to your tv.

Took your recommendation and purchased this a few weeks ago. A fantastic wee gadget and I'm not just quite as panicky about my ridiculously poor battery life these day.

I went for the green one by-the-way.  8)
