Title: how do you get things on your tv?
Post by: strongbad on October 11, 2017, 05:42:42 PM
i just got a chromecast and it is updating but it seems like it'll be an elegant solution. up until this point my gf and i had either been using netflix on my wii or plugging is one of our laptops. archaic!

whatever the active hdmi port is at the moment likely has netflix n such. usually it's either my ps4 or my xbone or my wii u


barring that, my pc is connected to my tv via 50-foot HDMI cable, so i can play my pirated movies n shit off that too

i use either my ps3 or my ps4 for everything. netflix, blu rays, dvds, etc. i watch all my pirated animu on my pc.

i was thinking of picking up hulu soon, guess i'd also just use my ps3 and ps4 for that

my ""smart"" tv has a netflix app and Chromecast receiver preinstalled, but Sony's software is so unstable and crashy that sometimes I just use a standalone Chromecast instead

I have a tiny PC (Chromebox repurposed for Ubuntu+Kodi) that streams my anime videos over LAN

I use PS4 for Blu-Rays and DVDs.

apple tv cus we got 2 for free. 1 from a gift and 1 from direct tv deal that i canceled soon after watching what i wanted to.

i used to use a home theater pc but the hardware broke, i fixed it, then more hardware broke so i was done with that upkeep.


plus we have family share and my fiance's dad has like 700 movies that are tight so that is a plus.
