My father is getting up in age and there are a number of his favorite shows that are not available streaming.
I mp4 encoded old DVD's that he purchased as well as old family vacations, plus scanned books and books of photographs, etc) that he could watch, but the usb ports are on the back of the tv (stupid imho!)
I've thought about running a regular wire and maybe putting it on the wall somehow
but then i thought why can't i run the extension all the way to his favorite chair? because someone would trip on it!
Please note i already tried setting up a large hard drive and velcro'ing it to the back of the tv, but the tv listed everything alphanumerically (mixing everything up).
So what i have been (unsuccessfully) looking for is something that my dad can plug a USB thumb drive into at his chair, and have a receiving device on the back of the tv. (similar to a wireless bridge, but specifically for usb devices).
