    As. Someone who is incredibly poor and use my current fire stick as a way to help me because of accessibility for my disabilities. Does anybody know if there’s a alternative to Chromecast, fire stick or Roku that doesn’t involve another computer (which I could get a raspberry pi or another computer dedicated to media, but government doesn’t believe in giving disabled people enough for those things)

        Miracast is a wireless transmission technology, where the wireless signal is transmitted in a way that does not require any cables.

        Thanks, captain Obvious. :-D

      Instead of subscribing to whatever streaming services you’re using roku for, you could be streaming everything for free here: https://fmoviesz.to/

      Use the money you save to buy a raspberry pi and wireless keyboard+mouse combo then you’re off to the races.

        I don’t pay for my streaming services. My mom who is barley surviving too and others pay for it. Had no choice really. Sense I have zero income it’s hard to save up. (been battling the government for nearly 6 year’s to get SSI or anything to help )

          You always have a choice when it comes to entertainment, especially digital.

          Tell your mom who is barely surviving that she can stream more things for free than what she’s getting with her subscriptions.

          Spread the love.
