Hi guys

i want to make my TV "smart" by attaching a tablet to it via HDMI. Any particular model you can suggest that would do the job, without breaking the bank?

Not many of the brand name tablets support HDMI out.

Honestly if you don't want to spend much money, and you want an Android device you can hook your TV up to, a TV Stick is your best bet.

I agree android TV is a better way to go and they are quite cheap, there are a lot on Trademe but cheaper to buy overseas, have a look here . There is a coup,e of threads on here as well also XDA developers have a section in their forums on them here

Galaxy S10

Garmin Fenix 5

Looks all good guys, any particular model you could recommend for NZ

Also I want to use it to watch HULU+ and Netflix. I know how to do geo-hacking on my laptop, but can I do it on an Android box?

Cheers
