Watching YouTube on a TV

Mr_Bun

Hi folks,I was wondering what is the easiest and cheapest way to be able to watch YouTube videos on a TV. It's not a smart TV,just a regular plasma screen.TIA

Cheapest way would be to connect a device that you already own ..


Do you have a laptop ?

DVD or BR player with network capability.

Google Chromecast (as long as you have a tablet or wireless PC to 'cast' to the CC)

Don't have a lap-top,although I do have an iPad��

I would suggest an Amazon Fire Stick. These are around £35 and have many different apps, including the YouTube you want. Other apps include iPlayer and Netflix* so you can catch up on TV and watch films.

*subscription based

Mr_Bun

Thanks for the replies.
A work colleague uses Apple TV for doing this,is this any good?

I use Roku stick but you can often get those nowtv boxes quite cheap and often come with a free trial of nowtv or sky movies/sport which you can easily cancel online

There's loads of extra apps available on your box, including:

• All 4
• Demand 5
• BBC iPlayer
• ITV Hub
• YouTube

Plus many, many more.

Had a look at the Nowtv box,looks ideal,however,can I buy it and then just plug it in and watch YouTube and it doesn't cost me anything else,there is no subscription?
