Very interesting channel. I can watch the only sport I love, Sumo. In addition I was surprised to find many, many programmes, in English, also available, from nature to anime history, and even Japanese lessons. Happy to watch on my phone or tablet, no need of casting, so a great app. I hope this month's upgrade works as well as it does now.

NHK World is my no. 1 to watch in the morning. However, the casting stopped. I actually did another thing to my TV at the same time so I thought it was my fault. However, I finally looked up "nhk world casting stopped" through AI and they said it has stopped. I have another option now watching it on my TV but I would much prefer to use the casting as it is quick. I don't quite understand why they have done this. I will change the rating once I can cast it from my phone. I like this program.

Stopped working with my Chromecast and decided to reinstall. Now it does not work at all. I keep getting the message that my request cannot be approved due to a technical error when I want to accept the privacy policy. Pity... It worked so well before...
