Modern technology is incredible. I remember being a kid and to watch television you actually had to physically get up and push a button!
These days all you have to do is:
- Have a credit card
- Have an internet account and a connection that is capable of 6mbps+
- Have a device that is compatible with Chromecast/AppleTV
- Have you chromecast/appleTV compatible device configured on your local network.
- Have an account with a content provider like Netflix
-ensure your VPN is configured- Have your application open to stream to the device
- Turn on you TV with the remote (how easy has it become?!)
- Switch input to your ChromeCast/AppleTV input
- Turn on your hi-fi system and switch it to the appropriate input channel.
- Output the selected stream from your chromecast/appletv compatible device to your chromecast/appletv.
- Enj.. * oy... you... * r... sh... * o... * w.... buffering
- Turn everything off and back on again.
- Explain to the kids you don't know why it's not working. Again.
- Ah, here it is! Enjoy your show in 1080p

... and... where's the sound now?
- Give up and download it.
Hahaha, I joke. It's only that hard if you want to watch a movie.
