3. I'm no expert, but ...

I used to get Netflix videos sent to my laptop, and a ran a cable (HDMI?) to my TV (there's a plug hole (?) for it.
Then I use my TV remote to change the source of the TV signal from cable to HDMI.

You also might Google your question.
I usually find answers and even YouTube videos for my questions there.

5. TY i did youtube but

only certain devices work with certain tv's. Plus i'm not that up on this stuff LOL

6. You can cast YouTube to.smart tv's

From your laptop or phone via Bluetooth

Look for this icon on YouTube or other video.player on phone or laptop.



Otherwise invest in a long high quality HDMI cord

17. TY this is what we have in mind

just getting the tv (Vizio smart) to accept it. lol

[TreasonousBastard]

7. Sure. IF...

you have a TV with wifi or other way to get into your home network.

Aside from that, you're stuck with that HDMI cable. Even worse, some HDMI ports and/or cables won't transmit the sound for some reason. And you won't be able to use the TV remote for much.

But, if a $10 cable gets you to watch the movie on a big screen, it will be worth it.

14. ty also

if i had to use a cable that would be just fine i'll keep trying. so far comcast won't work slimport won't work i'm trying a tablet or phone now.

[DonaldsRump]

8. What connections do you have?

Meaning on your computer and on your tv. Should be easy from there.

If easier, you can send pix of both devices to help figure it out.

[bluestarone]

13. ty

i've got vizio smart tv and it won't accept any device i've tried yet, but will keep trying. Trying to get this to work for my sister too if i ever figure it out!

[DonaldsRump]

15. You should have an HDMI port

both on your PC and on your Vizio tv. If so, you should just need an HDMI cable and then your TV will be treated as another display.

Can you check on this? If you can confirm, you can easily get the cable locally at Target, Best Buy etc.

After that, depending on your PC's operating system, it should be, at most, a quick setting adjustment if it doesn't work automatically.

[bluestarone]

16. i will do this ty

I have family here now but i will continue all ideas i receive today. My daughter is also trying to figure this out. So far the biggest problem has been with the tv not accepting any device. again TY

[DonaldsRump]

18. I have a Vizio too

You should be able to change the input on the Vizio (see the remote) when you get the PC connected to the TV

9. You might try

https://www.amazon.com/Toneseas-Wireless-Miracast-Streaming-Mirroring/dp/B075WV4W4Z/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1514839416&sr=1-4&keywords=wireless+hdmi+adapter

You will need HDMI adapter on laptop and HDMI connection on TV.

I use cable connection from my desktop HDMI port to the tv and have no problems watching your site.

BTW I did not know about this movie site. Thank you!

[bluestarone]

11. URW and ty i will ck out the site

i tried checking out slimcast but with VIZIO smart tv won't work for some reason. but i'll keep trying lol yea this site is a pretty good movie site!!

[OnDoutside]

10. You might also be able to piggyback on Google Chromecast

Also Google "Showbox download APK" where you can install that app on your android device, and a lot of devices allow you to cast directly to the Chromecast. Another option is to put kodi on a firestick.

[bluestarone]

12. ty will keep trying

19. If you have Apple TV...

...and a Mac, you can mirror your computer or iOS device in your TV wirelessly.

[Louis1895]

20. If you have a Roku...

...Android and Windows devices will also work. https://support.roku.com/article/208754928-how-to-use-screen-mirroring-with-your-mobile-device

21. It might be easier to download the movies and copy to a thumb drive

I believe Vizios can play MP4 movie files from a thumb drive inserted into the USB port.

Every movie I checked out on the site had a download link - either the lower quality they stream or a 720px version.

[LeftInTX]

22. Most public domain movies are also on YouTube

If your Smart TV can play YouTube, then that's easiest.

I wanted to watch the movie Freaks and it wasn't on YouTube. So, I had to download it from archive.org and burn it onto a USB stick. We used an app in our ROKU to play it on TV.

23. If you are using Roku, Plex workes well with it. I can see things from my Desktop

on my TV. All sorts of things can be done. It might work with these movies. Basically it uses your router, TV and computer network for wireless communication, wifi.
Here are two links. You do not need a smart TV. I don't know for sure "if" it would work well for you. Just an fyi on these tools.
