Hi guys,

I currently have a samsung HDTV TV. I want to turn my tv into a smart tv with a smart box/dongle that will allow me to do the following:-

stream movies from my iphone/ipad to tv

play music from my iphone to tv (my tv is connected with surround sound)

Browse the net but use my iphone/ipad as a keyboard

Budget is about ?50 max

I'm looking for something that won't lag much has a full qwerty keyboard perhaps or even an app that controls the smart box.

Western digital box seems good would like you guys opinion on it please?

Kind regards

Shiv

I got myself a NOW TV box off eBay for ?12 ( Argos ?20) and a friend loaded PLEX on it for me. I can watch movies on it by subscribing to an IPTV provider( ?36 for 12 months). My Sharp Smart TV had a an app called Play to Lite. ( I loaded a free from Google Play for my android phone /tablet and can now watch and play movies/music etc from my phone/tablet to my TV. Its quality is very good

got meself a roku streaming stick, its bloody great

runs plex like a dream lots of free channels you can add from the net does netflix itv/bbc/40d and demand 5 players best 40 notes i have spent in a long while

HAd problems with setting it up as kept dropping wireless but a quick change in the router to channel 11 fixed that

A now tv is cheaper but a streaming stick is 1080p not 720 and has so much more too offer worth spending the extra imo.

Now if there was only some way to hack the nowtv app....
