So guys, with Netflix now in Msia, im thinking of getting a sub for my parents so they can watch it.
But our tv is a normal HDTV, not smart TV. Whats the best/cheapest way to be able to get Netflix/Iflix on this tv? Chromecast? Means using phone as a remote, right? Will it drain Phone Battery? Sorry new tech for me. Any input or links go read up more is appreciated. |

QUOTE(ywkwy @ Jan 10 2016, 07:15 AM) Chromecast won't drain much battery of phone. Once cast to tv, phone can go to sleep, but it will get info about the playing progress of the movie. So it will drain a bit battery but not so much as playing directly in the phone. Thanks for the info! QUOTE(alucard89 @ Jan 10 2016, 08:07 AM) Have you considered roku or firetv stick? Roku or Fire TV Stick dont have these issues?Unless your parents using of the devices listed here https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23939 They won't be getting any more than 480p streaming only What if use laptop? Will it cast in 1080p then? with Chromecast? QUOTE(voncrane @ Jan 10 2016, 10:04 AM) To get both iflix & Netflix would be the chromecast. Select content to play with a phone, tablet or pc. Cast to the Chromecast & it takes over media playback. Your phone then acts like a remote for play, pause, jump forward, etc. You can even power off the phone and the content will still keep playing on the TV. Thanks for the info, but as mentioned above, i cant just use any phone to control it and get HD? Like i have an old Xiaomi Mi3, just figured id make it a "remote" if i get chromecast. How do you browse and look at suggestions etc for Netflix/Iflix? with the phone? My parents not so tech savvy, and the netflix web browser UI really easy and nice to use, is one of the reasons i want to get them a sub.QUOTE(jonn zee @ Jan 10 2016, 10:40 AM) Get an Android box. A decent Android box sells from rm200 -500 How is the UI using an Android Box? My dad really likes the netflix UI on his laptop and wants to use on his tv to watch instead of his crummy 13" laptop lol. Can recommend any good ones around RM300 mark? |
