Laptop unable to cast BT Sport via Chrome Cast

Hi, I've just received a Chromecast and set it up using my smartphone Galaxy s5) and it works great. Casts iplayer, youtube and bt sport (via the android app) as it should.
Now I've downloaded and installed the chrome extension for my laptop and cannot cast BT Sport. When I click on the cast icon it comes up "No Cast Devices Found" however I can cast from other tabs if I open them. In fact I haven't found another tab which won't cast!
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

The significant majority of web content can be cast. However, sites that use plug-ins such as as Silverlight, Quicktime & VLC are not supported, and may result in a lack of picture or sound.
On the PC/laptop the live BT Sport feed is using Silverlight so it is very unlikely that you will get it to cast to an acceptable quality.
As an aside as you now have a Chromecast - worth reading

Connecting Chrome Cast to Hub 4 and 5 - Updated 13...

Hi Guys,
We understand some people are having connection problems with Chrome Cast to BT’s Home hub 4 and 5.
We have discovered that Chrome Cast doesn't seem to like the 5Ghz wireless band and this is the setting that the router will automatically try and connect to the device with. The solution is to change the SSID on the 5Ghz band so that you can force Chrome Cast to use the 2.4Ghz band. You can do this through the hub manager, to make this easy for you we have set out some simple instructions below.
1. Access the Hub Manager on your computer by typing api.home into the address bar of the Internet browser, then click Advanced Settings
2. Next enter the Hub Manager admin password (found on the Hub settings card at the back of the Hub) and click OK
3. Click Continue to Advanced Settings
4. Click Wireless
5. From here you can change the SSID name being broadcast. In this example here we've added 2.4GHz at the end of the name to easily identify this as the 2.4GHZ band. But you can change the name to anything you want. In the Wireless SSID section enter a new name and clickApply
6. Click Yes for the changes to be applied
7. Now you've changed the SSID, you'll need to reconnect any other wireless devices you've previously connected
Update - When you follow the above process for changing the SSID of the 5 GHz Band you will see an option which reads 'Sync with 2.4GHz' This option need to be set to 'No'. I have added a screen shot below,
Update: We continue to test this and it appears that the BT Home Hub 5A, should be able to Chromecast with the Chromecast on 2.4GHz SSID and the streaming device on the 5GHz SSID. Smart Setup has to be disabled to enable Chromecast to work though. To disable Smart Setup please see this link for a step by step guide, Switching Smart Setup on and off on the BT Home Hub 4 or Hub 5
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Sean

have you tried splitting your wifi ssid giving say a 5 to end of 5g ssid and turn off smart wireless and select a channel manually

How do I stream NFL mobile to my tv using chrome cast

how do I stream NFL mobile app from my S4 to my tv using chrome cast?

Get an AirPort Express. It has an audio out which you can connect to the line-in on your home theatre system. All the other devices will talk to the AirPort Express and stream content to it via wi-fi.

I am unable to manually add artwork via itunes 12 on windows 7. I've tried all the suggestions to no avail. Has anyone succeeeded on the same platform as me?

i am unable to manually add artwork via itunes 12 on windows 7. I've tried all the suggestions to no avail. Has anyone succeeded on the same platform as me?

The new iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
Delete Artwork
On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
Add Artwork
Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the centre of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
Replace/Remove All Artwork
The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
Old Style Get Info Dialog
Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)
If you still cannot add artwork via any of these methods then I would suspect a permissions problem. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.

Unable to activate BT sport

Hi,
I've recently been set up with BT infinity after switching from Talk Talk. However I am unable to activate BT Sport for the online app - I keep getting this error:
There's been a technical issue
Ref# CON-0003
Tried phoning BT support but the phone line just plays a recorded message then cuts me off. Is one of the moderators able to activate BT Sport on my account please for online app access only?

Hi Dhymers,
Welcome to the community forum. I am sorry to hear about the problems you have had in activating BT Sport. I'll be able to help you with this. Please send me in your details using the "Contact The Mods" link found in my profile.
Thanks

When can I watch BT Sport via the Sky Platform

I have just sent the following message via the BT 'email us' form, but then I received an email back saying that it could take up to 10 days to respond . Given that I only have another 3 days to cancel my order (if necessary) I thought I'd try and find an answer on here, so here's the message. Thanks in advance...
Please inform me of the DEFINITIVE date on which I'll be able to activate BT Sport through my Sky HD box.
It is (in theory) already active for viewing online or via the app, but I am so far unable to link my Sky viewing card because of an "outstanding order" on my account.
I have spoken to various members of your staff (both on the 'phone and via LiveChat, for which I have the transcript) and I am being given contradictory answers. These answers have varied as follows.
1. I will be able to activate it as soon as I place the order for BT Broadband (so I placed the order without delay on 17/08/2012).
2. I was then told this would be 24 hours after placing said order, so I waited.
3. Thirdly I was told that I could activate it as soon as I give you my MAC key (so I did this on 19/08/2012 as a direct result of this advice, even though I could be charged by my previous Broadband provider for using the key within 7 days).
4. When that didn't work I was told to wait 24 hours after using the MAC key.
5. Finally I was told that I would have to wait until after my BT Broadband goes live on 10th September.
Answers 1-4 have turned out to be false, and as I am now starting to lose faith in the answers provided by BT, I don't hold out much hope for answer 5.
Considering that my reason for ordering BT Broadband was so that I could get BT Sport via the Sky platform, I am increasingly under the impression that I have been mis-sold the product.
Could you therefore please tell me EXACTLY WHEN I'll be able to activate BT Sport via the Sky platform.
Thank you

Well, it's the 10th September, and my BT Broadband is finally activated; but still no BT Sport via the Sky box
I've tried to link my Sky viewing card to mt BT account online, but I just get the message
"Good news!You've already got access to BT Sport. Watch online at btsport.com or via our Apple and Android apps. If you'd like to talk to us about upgrading your BT Sport Pack so you can watch via your TV please call us on 0800 731 0286."
What? I don't want to watch on a computer or phone. I want to watch it on my TV.
Anyway, I called the number, waited on hold for 26 minutes before being cut off.
What is going on?

Problem viewing via chrome

When I try to view BT sport from Google Chrome, I get a message "Silverlight needs your permission to run". I have checked and Silverlight is enabled in Chrome. If I use Windows Explorer, I can view BT sport OK.
What do I have to do to view it via Chrome?
Douglas

Well according to
http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.co.uk/
version 40 of Chrome is currently only a beta build.
Version 39 being the latest stable release.
Best get used to using the other browsers if this occurs

Check you are set up to watch BT Sport via the app...

Hello all
We’re aware that a number of you are having problems accessing the BT Sport app. We’re looking into the specific scenarios some of you have described but we thought it would be useful to post up this general guidance as well.
Check you’re ready to watch on the app
If you have ordered BT Sport to watch on BT TV, YouView or Sky you should be set up to use the app as well. All you need to do is download it. You can do that by going to the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.
If you want to watch on the app or online only, not on TV
If you are a BT Broadband customer and you just want to watch BT Sport online or via the app (not via TV) you need to activate it first. To activate, just log in to My BT, scroll down and click on BT Sport and follow the steps. If you have more than one account number in your My BT profile, remember to switch onto the one your BT Broadband is billed to.
Thanks

Please could you advise? ... After installing Itunes 11.3.1.2 on my Laptop and when reconnecting my iPad2 via USB, it is no longer visible under 'My Computer'. Any advice on resolving this issue would be most welcome. Thanks

Any one or a combo may help
Give your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again.
Try a different USB cord
Try a different USB port
Try rebooting your computer
Try closing/opening iTunes.
If you go through that and it doesn't work, try going into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support. Then redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again

Laptop unable to 'communicate' with hp 3050a printer wirelessly

laptop unable to 'communicate' with hp 3050a printer wirelessly, could it be the virgin superhub? (been on the phone to Virgin for an hour they said not their problem) i can eprint and print using a usb cable. Printer displays 'connected' message.
OS windows 7 64 bit. Tried uninstalling etc, 11 hours on still no joy!

Hi,
Did you try HP Auto Wireless Connect?
1. Restore network defaults from the printer front panel. Wireless>Wireless Settings>Restore Network Defaults.
2. Download the printer software, http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=al-93470-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
3. Before you run the sofware, make sure you computer is wirelessly connected to the Virgin and that the connection is a saved profile(automatically connects). You can check this in the Manage Wireless Networks section of the Windows Network and Sharing Center.
4. Run the software and select the Wireless connection option.
5. Select Yes to run HP Auto Wireless Connect.

Turns out this was a simple set up error for me, although i'd set up mobile me to sync my e mails I had never set up my outgoing message server. Therefore, if I received a message from me.com I could reply no problem, however if the message came from aol.com I couldn't reply.

HT4623 After ios update on my ipad mini i am unable to connect to internet via cellular connection

i Have update ios 7.0.2 on my ipad mini. But after update of ios 7.0.2 i am unable to connect to internet via cellulau connection. Cellular connection appears on my screen but i get error as "Could not activate cellular data network you are not subscribed to a cellular data service". Cellular connection was working prior to ios 7.0.2 update. Please help.

GOT MINE FIXED -
THE 7.0.3 update reported my iPhone as LOST or STOLEN to Verizon.
They suspended my iPhone service immediately (as I would expect them to) and THAT is why I couldn't get on.
Called Verizon wireless - they restored me in 30 seconds - EVERYTHING WORKS AGAIN.
They said "we've been doing this ALL MORNING."
Hope this works for others, too!
You blow bright orange chunks, Microsoft, er, I mean, Apple.
