Buy a Roku 3 at Best Buy (we recently purchased one there for $89) and hook it up to your tv. I believe you need a free HDMI outlet on your tv in order to do this. Go online to create a free Roku account; however, you do need to put a credit card or other payment option in the account when you set up. This is in case you want to purchase additional channels. For example, we pay $5 a month extra for the Acorn channel which has *tons* of British tv series on it. In the Roku settings, you hook it up to your in-house wifi. That's it. There are many free channels on Roku. As mentioned, you can add the Youtube channel to it for free. The PBS channel is free too (does not include PBS regular programming, but rather has a number of their documentary series on it). If you have Netflix, you can use it through Roku. You can also add Hulu to it (for a subscription price, similar to Netflix). There are many private channels you can add too, some free, some for a subscription price.
