The chromecast I've got is about 10 years old and a few things don't cast on it no more. I'm guessing I need a new one, but is there another option?

Well any of the other options just have you install apps on them and stream from there. It's essentially a little media center. So you connect it, and load up whatever your streaming apps are, and you run them directly from the device itself. No more need to cast to it. They all even have web browsers so you can load those "other" sites that way as well.

Does that answer your question?
