What is the best way to watch Netflix on TV?

I have an older TV without internet, can you use Netflix and prime there. There's Apple TV and all that. Shouldn't be too expensive.

If your TV is new enough that it has a USB connection (e.g. To play movies) you can make the PC smart with the Amazon Fire TV stick.

In any case, it is in the product description of the stick. If you do not take the current one you are at about 30 euro. Although I don't know if the prices aren't as crazy as they are for graphics cards and consoles.

Why by PC? The Fire TV Stick can be plugged directly into an HDMI port on the television…

If the TV has an HDMI port, get an Amazon Fire Stick. Costs significantly less than Apple TV and you can grab pretty much all streaming apps there.

I haven't written anything on a pc. TVs also have USB connections.

But it's good to know that HDMI is also possible I didn't know that before.

Buy a FireTV Stick 4k (even if you don't have a 4k TV, but they are a bit faster and therefore more durable), but wait a few more days, in the direction of Christmas they should be on sale again, then the FireTV Sticks should be available again give around 20-30 euro, about half the price. There are also many Android TV sticks, etc. On Amazon and eBay, however, with the FireTV Stick you are best off in terms of price-performance ratio, especially if you buy it on sale, good Android TV sticks cost around 60 euro.

A FireTV Stick is an Arte Mini PC on which you can install apps like on a mobile phone, there you can then use Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Disney Plus, YouTube, etc., but you can also get other apps and games from the app store. The only thing you need for the FireTV Stick is an Amazon account (Prime only to be able to use Prime Video, but you can also use the media library without Prime, but then you have to pay for more content to watch it)

How else do you want a FireTV Stick or similar? Connecting these devices use HDMI for image and sound transmission, USB is only used for data transmission or power supply.

If you look at the price and performance, then the suspicion is that amazon is submitting the thing. This is not a bad thing in general, but it should be mentioned.

Gu

Of course you have that 😅

you can make your PC smart with the Amazon Fire Tv Stick.

And HDMI is not "also", but exclusively. You won't get any picture / sound from the Fire-TV Stick via USB…

Oops stupid typo on my site. Should TV not be a PC

How does the installation work

Ma

Buy a FireTV stick, connect it to the power supply via the USB power supply, plug the FireTV stick into an HDMI port on the TV and switch it on, then you just have to go through an install wizard (select language, connect Amazon account, connect Wi-Fi, etc.) and you're done. Apps can be installed and purchased from the Amazon Appstore.
