ok maybe it was tv show thread we talked mike of tulsa into getting kodi

You can install kodi on a computer and it works well

You can also install it on a fire stick or fire tv in about an hour of you want to do it yourself

A fire stick with kodi and all the bells and whistles runs about $80

Ya I haven't used mine for quite awhile too. Actually, I use my PS3, which has one built in. Unless the old lady rents a movie from Redbox or something. Thanks to streaming, Blockbuster and Hollywood video are long gone. Not to mention their outragous late fees.

I typically watch movies online but I wanna watch them on my 55" TV when possible.

Nope. I'm not spending $$ on something that isn't necessary.

Oh...I need a smart TV. Don't got one.

kodi is a free program you install on your device.

it may even work on ps3.

what you do is install kodi which is a media player (like windows media player) then you install 3rd party software onto kodi that goes out to various streaming sites and streams what you are watching.

it works pretty good and everything is free.

sometimes you get a bad picture or a show that doesnt work. (i had problems loading the last 3 episodes of its always sunny in phily) but they finally did work

for your computer it should have a dvi out on the back. or if its old vga. they sell a dvi to hdmi cable for cheap. if its vga you need a converter and they dont work the best but it could get you by.

what video outs does your computer have and what inputs does your tv have?

Your a saint. Good info indeed. As for my computer, I'm totally clueless as to what it has/offers. It's a Dell Optiplex 745 model. I have a Vizio 55" with HDMI inputs and USB. Plenty of RCA outputs too.

it looks like your computer only has vga.

you could get a converter like this

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GZVBMFY?psc=1

or get a fire stick and put kodi on it yourself (takes about 1 hour) about $50

or get a kodi fire stick for $70
