Hello,
I have a non-smart Panasonic Viera tv and I want to stream movies and other media to the tv (Netflix, music, downloaded movies in vlc, etc.) from my desktop pc. The tv has a USB port and HDMI port, it does not have wifi. How would I go about doing this?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks and have a nice day! :)

Edit: I have seen that you can buy a wifi adapter for about 50€ and then I could watch netflix directly from my tv. But I'd like to stream it from my pc because I also want to stream other content such as movies in vlc, music...

A Roku? Could you please post a link or something?
Can I stream Netflix with this "Roku" thing?
