Connect A Non-Smart Tv

[MynameisLuca]

I have an regular TV but I'm trying to connect it to the internet with my phone, I have watched YouTube videos but they're telling me I need Wi-Fi, I don't have Wi-Fi. I want to use my phone data/connection. How can I set that up?

If you've not got wifi the only way you can acquire it via your phone is turn its 'hotspot' feature on. That effectively turns it into a router broadcasting a wifi signal.

You can't connect a 'non-smart' TV to the internet unless you first make it 'smart' by plugging a suitable device into an HDMI port. Such devices include a Now TV Smart Stick, a Google Chromecast and an Amazon Fire TV Stick.

OK, thanks. Will try again.

It will use a lot of data, so check how much you get.

If you want to use it a lot, consider changing to an unlimited data SIM. Smarty do one for £20 a month on a one month contract.
