| 1396323 | 2015-03-13 11:35:00 | So there are still many non-smart tvs and I'm wondering about the best way of connecting to the internet (through modem/router) or directly from device - pc, tablet, smart phone. No Apple. The Chromecast USB device looks clever but then my brother-in-law was talked into buying some wireless HDMI device which connected to the tv. Needless to say I was out of the house at the time. The urgency was to be able to broadcast the SKY cricket NZ v OZ match on the big screen. SKY is on the net for subscribers. None geeks and big fail. So, connect via modem to a USB stick on the TV set, or to a connected HDMI device directly from the pc, phone etc? What is the best option? |

There's the android box with built I freeview, not sure of it capabilities but wishing I got that instead as it seemed better feature wise. I've also got a Chromecast but its still in its box, haven't tried it and not sure what its capable of. I use my laptop, HDMI to HDMI for live streaming from the net and its more versatile but possibly overkill in your situation? Other than that, anything that would give you a browser hopefully would work. Cheers, KK |
