Title: father has beginning stages of dem help buidling theaterview on his old sharp Tv
Post by: HTPC4ME on February 15, 2020, 12:34:49 pm

hello my dad been hit w/ alz/dem.

im looking for a cost effective way to get his pc's JRiver 21/Theaterview/in another room/Ethernet connection. to another room ONTO his 50 inch sharp HDTV w/ HDMI ports. (with theaterviews easy interface... up/down/left/right/enter.)

He has wireless throughout the house
i have numeros BT keyboards/mice/all in ones/phones/tablets.

is a stick w/ win 10 built in the best route? pros/cons/ link to the best setup please.

one of those cast devices/chromecast?

or old school way, and buy him a pc/cables, and start building?

the least amount of hiccups the better.. ive used chromecasts before and know they can loose connection/b finicky.. i'd like to find a sure fire way to keep things simple... setup his harmony remote/watch tv activity/watch HTPC activity (as i have mine personally set up), and his tv simply switches input/remote goes into HTPC mode.. and he can see theaterview, and control w/ up/down/left/right/select.

thnx for any light that can b shed.
