Apologies first, I'm not the most up to date as far as modern equipment is concerned and not sure if this should be on this forum or the TV one.
I'm thinking of something for a 10 year old for Christmas and while I'm not sure a 10 year old should have a TV, I'm wondering if there is a way of setting a TV up in his room, to watch normal TV channels with the only connection being wi fi?
We have basic Sky on the main TV in the lounge, freeview TV in one room but there's no easy way of getting a co-ax cable to his room either from a dish or arial.
Thanks for any guidance

Chromecast, Amazon Fire Stick etc. and iPlayer, NetFlix, TVCatchup and others on a tablet will do it - but you'll have no control (even if you think you've configured it).
