Hi all,

 

 

 

So my grandparents have asked for my help in setting them up to watch the rugby world cup at their place, the thing is I don't know much about it. I understand a smart TV is the way to go as long as you have an internet connection, but what do you do once you have the smart TV? is there an app you need to download onto the TV or something?

 

Also, they live in Darfield, a town about 30 mins out of Christchurch where there is no fibre broadband, I believe they are on either ADSL or VDSL, will this be fast enough?

 

If anyone could give me some sort of rugby world cup 2019 for dummies that would be great.

 

 

 

Cheers

If they don't have a Smart TV I wouldn't bother with a Chromecast - that needs them to have a Smartphone.

 

Instead think of using the Freeview devices. The SmartVu is perfect - it works with a remote control like any recorder. Their TV will need to have a HDMI input for this and will need WiFi available to connect.
