Expand If you have an Amazon Firestick download Amazon Silk browser and cast to your Tv From Laptop or I Pad .My Panasonic Viera Tv is 7 years old and it worked for me.

Expand Why not just use Amazon Silk on firetv stick? No need to cast. Shouldn't be any reason Silk wouldn't work... if it doesn't then must be issues with the website/stream .

Expand You’re correct.Sorry I was mixing in my problem with IPad to Panasonic TV which doesn’t work with older Panasonic TV using Firefox.Browser by mistake.(I was wanting to cast my I Pad to Tv but doesn’t work with new BSN Website due to Apple restrictions).If you have an Apple TV Box you can cast straight from I PaD or IPhone using Airplay Edited March 5, 2023 by Fromafar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishersGate Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 I just use a HDMI cable and plug it in my laptop. Works a treat. An app would be great though but understand it's a big ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do that, it turns the page into an app basically and you can then use the site as you would an app. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked about as well as you can expect it to on a TV. Biggest issue is actually the navigation with the TV remote, will get easier with me just using it. I've never used the web browser on my TV.
