Basically title. How does one go about pairing third party services like streaming services to a mini PC so that you can stream it on your dumb / degoogled TV? I don't really know how TVs work, much less mini PCs, so if anybody could dumb it down for me I'd appreciate it. What does your setup look like, if you have a dumb TV (e.g running kodiTV without network connection)?

With a HDMI-CEC Adapter it could be, that you can even use your TV remote to control your PC/Kodi

Not sure if your TV supports it - as I'm not much of a TV guy and don't know, if you need any higher standard for that

But I'm quite happy with an old laptop + Kodi, linked up to my TV. Works quite well.
Only have to go through some audio settings for modern movies, where the sound mixing is usually not nice for dialogues...
