Got a subscription today because Silo looks like it’s right down my alley. 2 hours later the excitement is gone because I can’t get it running on my TV.
I use Chromecast to watch stuff on my TV. I have an older Android smartphone and an older MacBook with Mojave. Both devices don’t support the app. Streaming in browser on my Mac works but it doesn’t have a proper Chromecast function, I can only mirror the tab and the quality is horrendous.
I’m not an Apple fan and this cemented my disdain for this company. All they care about is selling their overpriced devices. What’s the point of having a streaming service when you’re not willing to make it universally available?!
Rant over.
The service runs fine on a $20 Android TV device, Fire Stick or Roku. You are using a ChromeCast that’s most likely fairly old at this point. The Apple TV app also works fine on the ChromeCast with Google TV. There is no need to use an “over priced” Apple device you do need a modern device though.
