Well, I used my tablet to play Amazon Prime videos, sending them to the 
sitting room TV via a Chromecast USB dongle.

These type of apps have to be recent or they can refuse to run.

Now it crashes too much on the tablet, but fortunately my new smart TV 
(LG) comes with apps that play them videos. Makes one wonder how many 
years will that TV work. Mine is small, but I don't think one would want 
to replace a bed sized TV often.
