Wi-Fi connection with SmartTV?? ------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, I have a slightly older SAMSUNG TV, but with SmartTV (model UE46ES5700). It is not possible to connect it directly to the WLAN. The recommended Samsung stick is no longer available. Do you think you could use the Fire Stick to connect the TV to the Wi-Fi? I just want to be able to access my usual services with the TV, e.g. Teleboy.... (NB. Have no way to connect directly to the router, it's in the basement for the whole house...). THANKS! Christoph
Yes, you can do that. I did it that way with an old TV that isn't even a Smart TV. Simply cool. Plug in the stick, download the app and log in. I can now access everything and the Internet. The prerequisite is, of course, an HDMI connection on the TV.
Addendum: I have the stick now and it works fine... but Teleboy, the main reason for the purchase, does not (yet?!) have an app for Amazon. Via "Silk" web browser = awkward; streaming via mobile phone or laptop = OK.
