What to do with a dumb tv?

[misskit]

I’ve an older JVC television which I used years ago with cable. Then it was turned into a PC monitor. Now I’ve gotten rid of the PC. The TV still works great and has a good picture.

I think I would like to use it in the second bedroom but how?

What about streaming? Or casting from a phone? What kind of cheap dongles do that? Not wanting to spend heaps of money on it.

Or do I throw the old thing out?

Buy a google chromecast for about $30.

Then it will be just like a smart tv.

Chromecast plugs right into the HDMI port You just connect ot to wifi and control it with your computer , phone or tablet

Can you check and post the model number, or a photo of the connection slots?

I'm sure posters will be happy to help if they know exactly what can be connected to it.

JVC LT 32-g40

[DrWilly]

It has a HDMI port. As backspin said above, Chromecast will go into that.

[harrybarracuda]

It has a USB port. As backspin said above, Chromecast will go into that.

You are as dumb as a fucking rock.

[DrWilly]

whoops, I meant HDMI... but thanks for the thoughtful correction.

[Edmond]

Can connect it to me computer if Haz buys a 1,800km long HDMI cable on Lazada.

Get an android box and you will be able to watch just about anything.

If you want my extra streaming box, it has remote but easier with wifi mouse you may already have or 200 baht for upright from panthip, may even have an uneeded one in her Office.I am awaiting eye appointments so visits depend on my chauffeur or pm and Ill get it to you free after feb 22 usual place.
Chromecast way to go if you want now.

Uncle Harry has given misskit her Netflix, some IPTV from the dodgy IPTV thread and Onstream, so she will be happy if left unmolested.

[misskit]

True, that. Harry turned up with the goods and installed them on my formerly dumb tv.

Thank you, Harry!

Actually there is that.

did you install with your floppy or manually, sometimes better to have a hand docking?

Let's hope he didn't mix up the usb and HDTV
