Thanks Bunter. I use the cable from my laptop into my Sony TV but my poor laptop suffers all kinds of problems, today I was unable to download from BBCIplayer from through my VPN, my laptop went beserk flashing etc. I removed the programme & then downloaded it again same result!  So I was hoping that this android box would go directly into the TV without anything to do with my laptop!  No Chance? Maybe the gadget needs inventing!
