Loads of ways, depends what you have in the house;
Laptop via HDMI
Through an xbox, Wii, Playstation 3
Freeview/freesat boxes you can install the app on
Streaming boxes like Apple TV, Roku, Boxee, Sony Streaming Player
I've got a Raspberry Pi connected to the TV that you can watch Netflix and other TV streaming on

HDMI cable. Depending on what type of tablet you have the port on it may be a mini HDMI port in which case you'll
need an adapter cable as well.
You should be able to pick these up in a high street electrical store.

Anyone know how the netflix channel works on virgin?

I assume you don't have a smart TV? Has your TV got USB? If it has USB there are maybe ways you could do this?

have you tried to install XBMC on your Raspberry Pi?

No idea how Netflix works. For instance say a new boxset came out, do they release one episode a week or upload them all straight away??

I actually have no clue what any of this means  . I dont have a notion about cables, adaptors, ports etc.

Any advice for someone like me whos thick in terms of these things

Best way is to check if your TV has a HDMI port, then find out which type of cable would be required from your Tablet to TV.

Just watch though as I have done this in the past with different Tablets and some have found that the picture is small on the widescreen TV.

How would i know if it has a HDMI port? Its only a new tv so can i presume it does?  Do i have to physically link the tablet to tv? Tv is quite high up on wall. Is there any way of wirelessly connecting?

They have a catalogue and they basically choose what way to do it.

I find it limited enough for movies but quite good for tv series(es).

They do it differently depending on the show. e.g. Breaking Bad got a new episode on per week as did Dexter while house of cards is coming out all at once. (House of Cards is exclusive to netflix though so I guess on a popular tv series they put on an episode a week when it is shown in the states.)

TG if it's new check if it's a smart TV. If it's new you're more or less guaranteed to have a HDMI port. If you have a smart TV it's easy - you'll just have to press a few buttons.

What make is it?

[tyrone girl]

It isnt a smart tv. Its goodmans 32 inch just for me bedroom.

No need for anyone to be paying for netflix imo well anyone with a Android device that is.

If you have a Android device(phone,tablet,TV dongle/box) download 1mobile market.apk and install a app called ShowBox.
It's as good if not better than Netflix and it's free.!

There is also XBMC but Showbox is better for movies and tv series imo.

For free live sports download an app called Torrent Stream Controller from the Google Play Store and install ACE Stream engine and you will have any sporting event you need. All you need is a good wifi connection and a Android device.
