Default Streaming

What you can use will depend on where you live the The Villages - a patchwork of available carriers.

For streaming, I assume you mean YouTube on a Smart TV? That is good. There is more.

I recommend Firestick and/or Chromecast and/or hdmi with radio keyboard/mouse.

You can easily stream just about anything on Firestick. There is also "jailbreaking" your Firestick (term can be googled) where opens up many more possibilities.

Chromecast will send any window in your computer to the screen, making it very easy to request programs, surf around until you find something, etc.

A laptop hooked up to an hdmi with radio keyboard/mouse will put your computer on your TV screen. You will sit on the sofa/in the recliner, type on the keyboard, and watch on your TV wtih a screen so much bigger than your laptop. This is my preferred method, though I really like Firestick since it can do 4K and laptop does 3K. (Picture quality difference between the two is not all that noticeable if your laptop has good resolution.)
