    Tried this twice now. After our TV was serviced by skyworth in our area, he also upgraded it. And now my Netflix and Amazon Prime doesn't work anymore.

    Is there a chance to downgrade it?

    A Global roaming eSIM Card is a card that gives your phone the ability to work with different networks while you are traveling abroad. This card is inserted into your phone’s SIM card slot, just like your regular phone SIM card.

Or mirror exactly what's on your device's screen — all with Google chrome cast or Screen Mirroring. However, if your Smartphone or TV does not have a Google chrome cast or Screen mirroring function, you can often still connect using a HDMI cable if the TV is DLNA-certified.
