Just wondering if anybody has got any ideas on this.. I have hooked up my mac mini to my TV and have been using my TV screen as my computer screen and watching my downloaded movies in this way.. using a wireless keyboard and mouse. My grandmother has recently moved in with us, she is 90. It is too complicated to teach her to use the computer and I'm wondering if other than burning the movies onto a disc and letting her watch it this way .. is there another way I can let her watch movies herself with the use of a normal remote control? I have a Sony Bravia TV and Sony Blu-Ray player which I have tried linking up but it doesn't work properly and involves lots of conversion. Anybody with any other ideas?
Depending on the spec of your TV, shouldn't it have a USB port? Could just hook up an external to it.
nBox or similar devices. Put files on USB, plug into nBox and you're good to go. It reads pictures, music, and most video formats (rmvb, good for TVB dramas too) Just teach her how to use the remote, and it'll be fine.
