I have a WD MyBook Live 3TB NAS but would like to watch the movies on my non-smart Sony TV. The TV was bought just as HD TVs made their appearance so it doesn’t have internet connectivity and all the other good things, but it does have the usual HDMI slots etc.
I’m confused from what I read on the internet about dongles, NOW TV, etc. that makes your TV ‘smart’ but clearly not smart enough to also play my movies from my WD Mybook Live. Ideal scenario is not to connect my PC to the TV, or play it from my phone or tablet.
Any advise and ideas on how I can connect my WD Mybook Live to my non-smart TV?
I was in the same boat and oddly enough I purchased the WD TV Live media player. In my eyes it’s the best media player out there, it plays pretty much all formats. Liked it so much I bought two. I can’t recommend it enough.
the samsung 6500 is a great machine for making tv smart…it has the most apps of many of the other manufacturers and plays from livebook like a dream … cost around £99
