Has anyone heard of or tried the "TV Booster" (1 Viewer)

[Gina M]

Apparently, you just plug it into your regular TV, and it turns it into a Smart TV, isn't that what the fire stick does??? Just asking as it is being offered half price for today and not sure if it is a con. Thanks, Gina.

Link?

If all it provides is internet then a fire stick will do that.
However, perhaps it gives access to a pure android platform rather than Amazon s version.

Is it this? www.tvsuperboost.com

Looks like a dongle which will let your 'phone, laptop, tablet etc stream to the TV so depending on what data those afore mentioned bits of tech can stream then technically I guess they become the 'brains' of the TV and make it 'smart'. Np doubt someone who actually knows what they are talking about will put me right on this in a minute . . .

According to a google search it appears to be a scam, certainly looks suspicious.

Yes, thank you that is the one. I suspected it was a scam advert though

Thanks. I was suspicious but thought I would check it out with other funsters first

A good idea…..

Looks like a Chromecast knockoff. I had a Chromecast years ago before I stuck an Apple TV in the MH but so many good streamers to pick from now like Roku, fire stick, etc.

OMG, it was the exact same thing being offered at half price for today at £49.99

It is a chromecast which I preloaded with apps and then sold on for alot more

Samething is done with firesticks, preloaded with IPTV and then a monthly subscription sold for around £19.99 a month. In reality it only cost £30 a year for the IPTV.

That definitely sounds like someone just lining their pockets!!

We use a Roku Streaming Stick with our non-smart Avtex TV. We’re very pleased with it.

We bought it from Amazon a while back, when it was on offer (- and cheaper than the Amazon Firestick). I‘ve just checked their website, and I see that their Firestick is on offer at the moment ….

HTH

That is right. Only a device to hook your phone or laptop to a TV. Expensive too!

Small start-up company my arse....

Same thing, different brand mark and only £13.

This thread is from October 2022 ... think Ginam's probably sorted by now.
