Panasonic Plasma problems

[woohoo]

you got me

and it's not the first time people have told me it's because of people like me that there are financial criseses.

I don't like spending hard earned, and have an allergy to full ticket prices

I'm only joking and fair do's to you.

no worries

but back to the question what is the best cheapskate set top box for "smartifying" an onld tv and having a YouTube app and a web browser app ?

or is this the wrong forum to ask such a cheap skate question :-)

the amazon stick,

a) does it work on the mainland ?

b) I amazon prime free view, I refuse to pay for tv

c) does the amazon stick have the YouTube apps and web browsing capabilities


a good quality set top box with a youtube app and web browser is all we need

Milan.

It'll work anywhere with Internet. If you don't have Prime you'll miss out on some of its features and stuff, but you'll still have YouTube and a Web Browser. I think you can still rent One-Offs too, but don't quote me on that one as I have Prime.

Edit: It's definitely not a set top box in any real way though as there's no TV tuner or anything in there.

thanks Dan.

I'll have a look tonight and see if the Panasonic has a USB slot

Does the Fire stick come with a keyboard ?

By the way do you have a California, I'd rather get a California Ocean than an SuV but the Mrs doesn't want a camper

No need for USB - just HDMI in. It doesn't come with a keyboard, but I think you can buy one - it's very responsive though, I use the standard remote for all my YouTubeing.

And no California here, unfortunately. My camper was actually a 1968 Bay! Sadly long gone now, but we still have the Wifes '68 Beetle - the new stuff can be lovely, though.

I gotta pay extra for the keyboard, jayzuz !

my parents (in their late 70's) bought a brand new T6 Ocean two years ago they love it

If you don't want the subscription side of the offerings then forget Amazon, NowTV, etc. Get an android box and bluetooth mini-keyboard via Amazon. Nothing else to pay for.

and which one should I buy, there are a zillion to choose from and I don't have the time to become a subject matter expert

[WTFH]

Yes

Yes. Our current LG TV stopped working with YouTube so we have a Fire stick for that now.

Yes
