Hey family, I currently live at a place that has zero wifi and zero wifi in the area. I get 20 channels on the TV. My goal is to be able to watch Hulu or netflix on TV.

I do currently have iPhone via Verizon with unlimited data (however it's severely throttled at 22Gigs).

I have considered buying a dongle (digital to AV adapter) that would mirror movie on phone to TV. As well as mirroring via over the air data. But the major stumbling block is the 22gigs that I get throttled with each month. One snowy Saturday And I easily use up. 22 gigs.

Is there anyway possible I can get a movie service on to the TV with no wifi?

( I am Willing to spend money on necessary hardware or mobile (within reason))



P.S.

(My last resort/ thought would be to go to a Starbucks with wifi and download netflix movies onto an iPad and then connect iPad via a digital/av adapter to TV. But I have not tried this yet)

Netflix mails DVD's with a very affordable rental agreement you know.

You just need a DVD player. From 20 bucks up.

Getting rental DVDs through Netflix is not an option I would want. No, you cant get Netflix without wifi, but why are you asking us when you can contact Netflix and maybe get their input. It doesn't cost you anything to ask them. My Netflix costs me 10$ month CDN. Mine is channelled, and always has been for the last 10 years, through a Nintendo set up.

Have you looked into a hotspot option if your signal is good enough you should have a higher data plan with it as it is an exclusive product. It converts the cell signal to a wifi one for you to use.

Don't think this will work. Hotspots are only for data, not wifi.

Actually it is a possibility but has limitations and drawbacks

DVD's and managing your Netflix account on your phone with a hotspot seems to be your most viable alternative to a cable subscription. I get DVD's and stream for 24 bucks a month with unlimited usage on 4 devices.

Basic cable seems to be cheaper than tricks with the benefit of more channels and a few bucks more for WiFi, or a bundle.

You can easily watch movies on Netflix with no wifi. With the help of wifi, we can easily print any images. So, the printer is very important to us. If you want any help about the printer go to the printer support (https://printerssupport.org/printer-support-number/)which provides the best facility and it also provides the best 24/7 service.
