TVs wireless

Hi we have a Sony Bravia and I want to connect it to the internet to pick up amazon prime, what is the best way? We have just got a now tv to work with freesat when we give up the paid service. I did see a way to add it to now TV but not confident of doing it.

  • You connect your to to wifi in basically the same way you connect anything else.

    You do as been posted, the tv is just like a phone or a tablet and connects in the same way as a smart tv. You can use ethernet too if the wifi signal is too weak.

    Annoyingly Amazon Prime isn't available on Now TV so you've need something like a Fire TV Stick or Roku Stick which plugs directly into one of your spare TV HDMI sockets.
    If you put your general location in your Profile, somebody here may be able to come and help you.

    Just buy an Amazon fire stick, connect through the HDMI then run the set up for fire stick through your TV for Amazon Prime.

    Thank you to grumpycrab and London50, grumpcrab, I did find something that can be done under developer, but not sure about doing it! So will go for the fire stick, just be come a student for 6 years and I get free six month trial and half price yearly membership after that so, think it will be worth it.
