basically, anycast, ezcast and easycast all refer to the same thing, this dongle. these dongles are compliant to 2 standards: miracast and DLNA. miracast is a standard that allows you to cast your android 4.2 or higher or windows 8.1 or higher screens to your TV using this dongle. whatever is displayed by your miracast compliant device gets duplicated by this dongle and displayed on the TV. So you can't use the device for any other task while casting. DLNA meanwhile is a standard that allows you to stream media files stored in a shared folder accessable within the local network to be played (rendered) through the dongle and displayed on the TV. You need 3 DLNA components for the setup to work 1. a DLNA server which is a computer running a DLNA server, which could be as simple as a PC running Windows 8 or higher with media streaming enabled, or it could be another Android device running a DLNA server app 2. a DLNA renderer which is nothing more than this dongle attached to the TV 3. a DLNA controller which could be another cellphone running a DLNA controller software As for me I used the Pixel Media family of Android apps as DLNA controller and server, and this dongle as renderer. It is working beautifully. After I tell the renderer through my controller which media to play, i can then close the controller app on my cellphone and do other tasks with it and the video continues to play on the renderer. Anycast is never a Chromecast because it's a different standard and it's not compatible with Chromecast. If you dont need to access Netflix or other cloud based media servers, you are fine with Easycast.Read full review

Once up and running, it performs really well, but initially set up was tried in a Samsung S7 phone which was a bit average. Found a tablet worked a lot better.

First of all update firmware, use browser for that and use Home Media Server with your Windows notebook to see film on your TV.
