OK - I admit that I am falling behind in understanding the present options and possible solutions so am hoping that some kind soul will at least point me in the right direction.
The simple facts are that I have Freesat in the lounge and a basic TV in the kitchen which until the last gale, was connected to Freeview via the rooftop aerial.
Given that the kitchen TV was only used to watch the news early evening and very occasional programs on BBC/ITV and C4, I don't feel like paying a substantial sum to have the aerial replaced on the roof.
We have broadband, wifi, an Android tablet, Android phone and a Windows phone.
I have looked at Chromecast but as far as I can see it assumes an HD TV and offers a lot more programs and services than I need or would use.
I had looked at connecting the tablet or phone via an HDMI cable but that seems cumbersome and would mean plugging in the device each time we wanted to watch TV in the kitchen.
Am I missing something simple (and obvious)?
