What are you using to stream to you Tv's in your home.

[DazzaP]

Kodi from my NAS, also have Google/Android TV's to side load apps onto those as well.

I'm a very simple person. My laptop + HDMI to mini displayport + my TV and that's all folks.

I get my movies and shows from sites like these.

 

[elcisitiak]

Right now I'm literally just running a long HDMI cable from my computer to my TV. It's not elegant, but it's working until prices come down for NAS

paying for netflix, spotify, youtube. considering getting hbo. recently cancelled Prime cause neither free shipping nor same day delivery apply if you live in the armpit of europe that is croatia.
but also heavily to.rr.en.ti.ng and sl.sk.ing the rest i cannot find legally (dont know if im allowed to say that here so pls let me know).

as for viewing setup. i still believe having a windows/mac/linux machine (connected to a dumb or smart tv for video, and separately to speakers) and manually browsing files or starting streamers in internet browser or its own app, trumps any smart tv interface or clunky streaming app/platform.
yes, even for living room. wireless mouse + keyboard under the coffee table.
this setup is also great for music listening if your desktop machine is a laptop with its desktop extended to the tv. avoids the horrible reality of being forced to have the big tv on just for music.

for local files, thinking of building a windows based NAS once i work out how to get friendly with all the crippling security restrictions introduced in win 10. had 2 separate network specialist friends come and try to set this up for me, both gave up after life 3 hours trying to make shared volumes stick on the receiving machine. why windows? prefer my media disks to be ntfs and therefore easily yanked out and used elsewhere if need be.

I have jellyfin, plex, and emby. but I mostly use Emby.

 

[deadlywill]

Shield Pro. ScanDisk 4tb drive into tv.

 

[SpeedyCerviche]

I run jellyfin on an old pc with a 6tb hdd and access it with the android app. Whether it be on my phone, android tv or even a good old chromecast. Used to use plex but ugh.

 

[ukguy5k]

i'm using 2x Thomson 270 Plus streaming boxes, currently with Now TV Sky Sports, TNT Sports from HBO Max, Disney Plus, Prime Video, Netflix, IPTV, Flix-Vision.

 

[baconbaron]

used to use chromecast but switched to apple TV much better and faster

 

[Guess5621410]

Firestick here too. A good selection of streaming apps. Although Amazon doesn't like them so it is a little occasional cat and mouse with them blocking the apps and me needing to re-install new updated versions that aren't detected. Some downloading assistant apps make it a simple process though. So no worries. But sometimes you do lose like your favorites you may have saved within the old app.

Emby & Infuse .. so good
