We probably need some more info on what your TV is, specifically if it's a SmartTV or an older flat screen.    If you have a smart TV then you should be able to download the FloSports app and go from there.   In my case I have an older flat screen in my living room, so at first I just used my laptop and ran an HDMI cable from the laptop to one of the HDMI ports on my TV.    Later I went and got a Roku device, and now it's plugged into one of the HDMI ports on that TV and I have the FloSports app on the Roku device along with DirtVision.     

Give us some more information on your TV and there are numerous people on here who can help you.

I agree. Roku is an easy way to go. Just make sure your TV has an unused HDMI port before you buy the Roku and you should be all set.

Never tried a roku stick but I've tried smartcast and chromecast and neither worked very well(slow and glitchy). Best and easiest to just run a hdmi cable from your laptop to your TV. Get a good high speed hdmi cable. Make sure your laptop is set up to mirror.

I have 2 TVs.  I use the Flo app from my phone and cast to a Chomecast on one of them and I cast to an andriod TV box on the other.  Both solutions work great, as long as WiFi in your house is good.  Having a solid 5ghz (not 2.4ghz) connection is important or be really close to your router/modem.

I am streaming to an AppleTV. I have learned that the AppleTV cannot be hooked up to an ethernet cable. Must be via wifi. Same applies to Amazon video. Netflix app in already in the AppleTV.
