Any tips on getting pirated media onto the TV? (lemmy.world)

Watched the first episode of The Acolyte on Disney+, and there so many ads that I swear the ad-to-star-wars radio was 1 to 1.

...so I set sail. I'm so sick this. But now I've got three video files on the comp (Windows 10), but I'm struggling to get them into the TV... We have a Roku, but apparently my comp doesn't support 'Miracast', and that seems to be a huge road block going by guides online.

Hoping to not spend an arm and a leg, but probably need some cable or something other than Roku. I'm probably the least techy person on Lemmy, so please idiot-proof any instructions.

Thanks all!

Do you have an HDMI cable? I have my laptop more or less permanently plugged into the TV for exactly the purpose of watching movies, whether pirated or otherwise.

I do - this might be the easiest option. Will that get sound over too? I don't have actual speakers on my comp, just headphones. Trying to get it set up so the wife and I can watch it on the TV as normal-a-viewing-experience as possible.

HDMI is intended to pass audio signal as well. You may have to make adjustments to the audio output settings on windows.
