A question about rogers ignite tv and internet

[RyeEncoke]

If I have a movie saved on my computer in MP4 format, is there anyway that I can play it on my tv through the wifi or some other way that doesn't involve me running a cable from my computer to the tv?

Greetings @RyeEncoke!

I do know that some TVs offer direct .mp4 support. All you'd have to do is plug a USB drive into your TVs USB port and select it as your video source.

Perhaps one of our intrepid Community members can provide you with an alternative solution! 🙂

Hmmm, my tv does have a USB slot, I might try sticking my USB drive in there and seeing what happens.

If your tv usb slot doesn't work (newer TVs usually have good usb media access), you can always try a blu-ray player with a usb slot (some dvd players with a usb slot might work, but they are usually more limited when it comes to file choices). And even with some Blu-ray players, mkv files might not allow easy FF or RW access, while mp4 files should offer easy FF and RW access of the content.
