YouTube on TV??

Sunshine_and_Roses

I think I have seen this somewhere, but such a technophobe I dont know where to start!!

I have a bog-standard 37" TV and a Sky subscription. Do I need a smart TV or can I get a box like the old freeview box to use with it?

Sorry for what must seem a very stupid question!!

There's a freesat Humax PVR which has a YouTube app. When my Sky contract ends I will be very tempted to get one of these and stop paying for Sky TV. http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/reviews/digital-home/3455735/humax-hdr-1010s-review/

You could get a Now TV box for £10, it has iPlayer, 4OD and demand 5, no YouTube afaik, but then thats all garbage anyway.

My Roku box has Twonky Beam.

You play YouTube on a tablet or phone and it gets beamed to the TV.

I disagree, there are plenty of official You Tube videos from broadcasters like the BBC etc available now that make the site well worth having access to. I agree the picture and sound quality on many of the clips uploaded by the general public are indeed "garbage", though!

Not to mention loads of full concerts and full movies, all just a search away

OK I'm convinced I'll have anyother look.

Meanwhile I would recommend Crackle, and particularly Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.

AppleTV £100 or Chromecast £35 (goto Amazon, but not quite official yet) will get you YouTube on an HDMI equipped TV. Lots of other solutions too.

I sometimes use my Wii console to watch YouTube.

Yes, also Playstation3 (&4) as well as via SMART tellies and many Blu-Ray players also provide YouTube.
