Upgrade for tv box

pne168 — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 21:21:19 GMT

I have a 4k tv box. I am keen to see my photos and videos from my phone and ipad on my tv, which I can’t do with the 4k box. Is it possible to get an upgrade to the tv hub box?

You will need to phone to discuss this as you may have to recontract to do so, if possible.

Staff here cannot discuss contract issues ile renewals.

If you have a smart TV does this allow you to cast from your phone to the TV?

Alternatively, you may be able to connect to the 4k box or TV via a usb lead and view this way.

@fr8ys

Can you not cast from phone/tablet to the TV box?

@ferguson I no longer have this but really should have checked the box functions! Doh!

@pne168 according to the box features shown here, you can cast to the box from your phone and iPad.

This link should let you know how.
