Casting from a PC remote from wifi

[velocemitch]

What is the best way to watch TV or films downloaded from such as amazon when you haven't got wifi.

Scenario is we have a Touring Caravan on a seasonal pitch and I'd like to be able to take films or TV up there on either laptop or tablet and watch them on the portable TV. (without messing about with HDMI).

We don't have wifi on site, though i could possibly use a phone as a wfi hub, but without connecting to the internet.

Products like Chromecast or Apple TV seem to rely on wifi from what i can gather.

Surely HDMI cable will be the answer, what's 'messing about with' compared to getting other methods to work?

Its just awkward due to the layout of the van, but you may be right.

A lot of t.v's will now play media content from a USB stick, so it maybe worth coping your films onto a memory stick and trying that as an option?

I used to have an EZCast HDMI stick. Created its own WiFi bubble, so wasn't reliant on the surroundings. I think the Microsoft Miracast stick does the same, but check first.

Wifi doesn't need broadband. An old router can be used without any external connections (apart from power supply). Plenty of help via Google and YouTube.
