Oh Wow! It was DEFINITELY £49.99 earlier this morning, but it now shows as £54.99 (still a £15 saving but... 😞 )
I do wonder how Amazon pricing works sometimes!!!
I've been watching for my desired price of £49.99 as I was planning to get another one, but something else happened so it's on hold for now.
@dr_necessitor I'm personally hoping that the latest version of HDMI Streaming Stick comes to UK.
I purchased my present version in Jan 2015 and using black box does show that stick does need additional clout.
To me stick is ideal as it's plugged in to hdmi at rear of TV so is invisible

The thing that really peeves me is that 7 years ago HDMI v1.4 introduced ethernet support (HEC). But nobody appears to have adopted it. Such an implementation would have been perfect for HDMI streaming sticks!
