Yah, that's pretty much exactly what it's for. There's a few options: a Roku stick (which is essentially an external wireless adapter w/ streaming apps) and a few types of small desktop boxes that can go wired or wireless (but I think these need a wall socket for power). And like Amph said, they're all pretty much plug-and-play -- connect to your internet, choose & sign into your apps, voila.

I've been wondering about how to get Netflix running on the big TV since Snotface moved out and took the Xbox.

I wasn't going to sit my laptop next to the TV and run an HDMI cable between them, because that's clunky as all hell so could I run this Roku thingy instead?
At the moment I only watch Netflix on my PC, which is wired to the modem, but the modem also does wireless.

There's a number of different price points and different manufacturers in this field of wireless stick with streaming apps. I went with a $40 USD Roku version and it's pretty great. It can be both free standing or a plug in, I plugged it in.

Sounds like that might work for you. My SO has an apple TV on one TV and a Roku on another. Seems happy with both, altho I preferred not going with the apple version.

My team lost play-offs today.

But, I was able to play the whole game (with subs, obv), I didn't get injured, I didn't cause any tremendous goal-causing mistakes.

AND tomorrow's a day off, b/c Xmas eve!

AND I ended up getting paid today, rather than miss my check tomorrow, and not have it until Monday.

So mostly good things.

And here I would have assumed your view of the stars in Norway would be very good. It's not?

Louisiana is a lawless Mad Max-like state where vagabonds "roll coal" and text while driving.

Yep, one just up the road from my house everyone was excited for. I wouldn't mind a good virgin pina colda

I don't even understand what those last four words mean when stuck together that way.

new phone. no sim card for it yet (have to get a nano one next week), but seeting up essentials using my wi-fi connection.

And I can finally access the forum thru my phone again! Let the good times roll.

My night has turned decidedly Irish.

As always, I gave a toast to my favourite irishman with the first glass.

"To Wry, may your days be long but your *censored* be longer. May your nights be easy but your women easier. And may there forever be a painted arse upon your floor."

Saw my Osteo today. he did some painful things to my arm, but my passive extension's a lot better. He says most he can do for me is 2 more sessions.
So by the end of the week I need to get on actually scheduling physio (which the insurance will pay for.. Because they are not paying for osteo).

My long-rumbling flat saga is at an end - exchanging tomorrow and then completing a week tomorrow, moving in on 21st all being well! Can't believe how long this has taken but it feels amazing to be able to see the finish line

Best way to recover from a marathon writing session - a nice, cozy nap, then a nice hot cup of dark strong coffee, and Leonard Cohen. A voice like velvet

The first house I built in the subdivision i'm developing is under contract. And i hadn't even listed it yet!

Plus, they want the basement and the garage finished, so we can finish those while they're pouring the basement and delivering materials for the next one.
