How to turn your old TV into a SMART TV

[@FredWilbury]

Finally someone talking comprehensively and listenable sense thanks

[@occipitalneuralgia2339]

I have fond memories of a tv you used a basic electrical cord to plug in the wall, a rotary dial changed the 5 available tv channels, and there were no remote controls. We got up out of our chairs to change the channels. I am only 64 years old, and I remember. It’s astonishing just how complicated life has become.I am watching this trying to learn. Thanks for breaking this all down.

I I'm a senior citizen. Found this video user friendly. Have a smart tv, but my (young computer savvy) neighbor told me I didn't. As a result I have 've been suffering watching Netflix on my phone or laptop uncomfortably. Although I would like to inform my neighbor of the new development, it's not worth it. Just shows me that I can do things on my own with the right instructions. KZbin is a great too. Thank you for your video.

[@debz6110]

Thanks for your time. No need to apologize for the length of your tutorial. It was very helpful and thoughtful. After all you did everything with one hand while filming with the other hand. I appreciate your clear explanation!

[@timothyblair1490]

Great run through of all the options most households will need without getting too techy, Thank you very much

[@tonybaker5499]

I can't believe you didn't mention the Scart socket on the TV! :(

[@johncooper7242]

Fantastic guide Thank you and well done for all the hard work in producing it for us . This guide has explained everything clearly and answered all the unanswered questions that I had about casting to an older non-smart TV (casting Mmmm.... another new word to me ). It has enabled me to select the most appropriate options for my TV and devices and purchase what I need to make it work with confidence .

I would simply like to leave a wide-open comment thanking you for the helpful information. I am wondering why anyone would leave negative feedback for someone that is trying to help others? Please continue to ignore the idiots as you post helpful content. Thanks again.

I've got a Chromecast so I don't need to do those things and I don't have it computer only an Android phone, but I watch your video because it was intriguing to watch you do all those things and I love your accent!

[@Vaneice220]

Omgdness, you have no idea how helpful this video is. You sir are AMAZING THANK YOU!! I actually inherited a 'newer' TV not a smart TV so I now know how to watch KZbin from my Android. I need to learn how to watch KZbin from my Android to and old TV though. However This is FANTASTIC 👍🏽

[@paularoberts49]

mate, you are a legend!! saving this for future reference!

[@camerons829]

You can also mirror to a roku, I think it is the roku 3, 4, streaming stick, and that's all I know that works with it. The older ones don't have the feature.

[@marshalllewis4995]

I needed to use my tv as a monitor while doing web design, your tutorial was excellent .I really appreciate that you actually showed what various HDMI and other connections look like, for some girls like me that are not that familiar with cords, etc. I have spine issues and I am not able to look down for extended periods of time, but I can place my tv where a monitor would go. Plus my friends will think I am a genius for saving the money and not buying a smart tv.!!!!

[@BeulahsKing]

God bless you a million times... THANK YOU!

[@milenaorenczak7139]

Yeah🙂people helping other people- that's kindness, bless u. By the way, u r as well so sweet - apologising for little things that really don't matter🙂 I was trying to check how would I be able to transform a BUSH 32 HD READY LED TV into smart as I 've bought it thinking I am actually buying the smart one... And even though i tryed to use chromecast to use internet, it doesn' t see the chromecast connected and I've enabled hdmi ports on tv, and tried to turn the network connection on it, but it hasn't recognise wireless network that my flat has. I have bought, most propably a waste of money with my circumstances, a new router, a tp link signal expander a cables and few other things... After some time I just loose my patience and I let go. The biggest lost though is the thought how happy 8t will make me fileel finaally not having to put up with all that substitutes like laptop connected to big screen to get watching what's on web or others... It's such a help if u don't have to bring up all those cabkes every singke times, connect all the things up all together just to watch often only a one show or sth else. Sometimes I just think it's worthless to try... Then I look at videos like URS, f. e. 🙂, and u bring me back faith both in ppl and life-I know it sounds too seriously, but sometimes not having to deal with those "tiny"problems-for such a not nerd, can save u from deeper depression, by making STH AT LEAST WORKING in ur life and lifting up ur mood. I know I've wrote here a bit and most ppl. 'll propably laugh of that, but imagine ppl who have no other way of enjoying their lifes than connection with a tv shows/wirtual lifes or developing their social skills by it.

[@tannermarlow5162]

Do you really mean "how to plug stuff into the back of your tv," because that is all you really did. I am glad that you made this video though, I had no idea that all of those connections on the back of my tv actually had a use. I'm gonna be unstoppable now, ps3 and 4, and all 3 Xboxes, and I finally I know how to connect them to my tv

[@rcuda3426]

you seem to know what you're talking about it been looking for videos like this for years . and it would seem you have knowledge of mirroring imagery and data. I know this is not a forum so please forgive me I have a smartphone and when I go to mirror it shows that I have a Roku sometimes a Roosevelt TV Fire stick other times I do not have a smart TV in my house it also says mirror in bedroom. I've tried talking with my provider. my question is could you point me in the right direction so that I might find out why this is occurring PS thank you for your time putting this video out also the audio is good and loud in the cinematography it's helpful Peace Love tie dye and Beads✌

[@Mymatevince]

Hi, thanks for the comments. It is probably picking up your neighbours equipment. When I go to mirror (cast) on my phone it picks up my neighbours TV but if I was to try and connect then it wouldn't cast onto that equipment unless your neighbour allowed it. Normally the 1st time you try to cast (mirror) to a new piece of equipment then you have to allow it on the TV or PC or Laptop etc. Many thanks Vince

[@rcuda3426]

My Mate VINCE thanks for your response

[@rcuda3426]

it says it is connected thank you for taking the time to answer me though brother is it possible to find or pin down where are the frequency is coming from I won't bad you're with anymore security questions I know people get paid for that type of thing but I had to ask I have two beautiful children and there are a couple of sex offenders in my neighborhood I may be paranoid but I lost one child when she was two now I can't help the paranoia please forgive my long-windedness

[@Mymatevince]

Your paranoia is understandable. I personally don't know if you can pin point it but normally in my house I can't get it to work much past 10 -15 meters so I would think the equipment like the Roku you are picking up would be very close. Also it only mirrors your phone onto the other equipment so they won't be able to control or do anything to your phone like turn on the camera and look through the pictures or contacts as you still have control of your phone and the TV is just viewing the screen of your phone so hopefully you are just being paranoid and nothing sinister is happening. If I was you for piece of mind I would just disable the mirroring function so on my Android phone I just hit cast to turn it off or on and you will probably be able to do the same under some 'screen' or 'display' setting. Good luck with it :-)

[@rcuda3426]

My Mate VINCE you are a stand up guy thanks for your reply and reassurance if they control anything that's good enough for me there are many avenues that they can use back doors for I'm sure you're living in the wild wild west in there is not much information out there on how this stuff works in layman's terms you've explained things very simply and helpful to me I will make sure that I recommend you to everyone I know who is having problems look to your playlist you had very many interesting things I'm sure my friends will be able to finally find someone you can help them. thank you thank you thank you bless you and yours man best of luck

[@arialthefont]

soo you make it look easy,. Thanks

[@lgstar3363]

Thank u for your informative video. I have a non smart older Samsung tv who’s hdmi connectors stopped working after lighting hit an electric post nearby. A technician was sent from our internet and cable provider at the time and was the one that diagnosed the situation. Anyways, I love this tv and don’t want to get rid of it which were my plans this Xmas. Thanks to you I might not have to…

Good vid. I have an older Samsung TV that still works great and has apps but not built in wifi. We don't have home net. Use our cell data. I bought a fire stick and would like to cast/mirror to tv using fire stick without a net connection. But I'm having a problem getting it to do that. I can run stick apps from phone hotspot, but not cast. I've tried All Cast on both. I have Moto Z2 Force phone. I bought a cheap router to make the network. Thoughts?

Similar setup here with my 9 year old 46 inch not-so-smart TV. ChromeCast Gen 2 works well for casting from iPad/iPhone using ; NetFlix, Disney +, Stan, KAYO. I can stream from PC using Google Chrome browser as well and VLC Player can also (a bit hit and miss) stream video or the ChromeCast. PS4 is also quite nice to use once you download the apps. PS3 was ok but no longer supported by SONY. In terms of media player, I have an old Western Digital TV (WDTV), a bit like the ROKU. It will play via USB attached storage and also via media shares over the network although this is a bit clunky. I’m thinking of getting a larger, smart TV but we actually seldom watch TV...
