I use ROKU (One time cost between $50 - $80). It is about the size of a hockey puck. You need an available HDMI port on the back of your TV. TV doesn't need to be a SmartTV. A wireless router is what I use. I have three ROKU's --- one for each TV. Another benefit with ROKU is that I may take it with me on vacation and use it at a family residence with WIFI Internet connectivity. Or take it to a hotel and plug HDMI cable into the back of the hotel TV. Most hotels have WIFI.

I also understand that ROKU has a later version of my model that doesn't require an HDMI cable. It looks like a Thumb Drive and connect directly into the TV's HDMI port. No cable. These are sold at Sam's and I'm sure Best Buy.

If you have a WIFI connection, I'll bring one of my ROKU's to you; plug it in; and show you what it does.

I am due for a Random Act of Kindness for this month and will be happy to help out a neighbor --- gratis. I am a Villager and live in El Cortez Village near Chula Vista if you prefer to see how my setup works.

PS I detest Comcast so much for raising rates without justification that it will put a smile on my face.

Just PM me to arrange it.
