Your best bet is to invest in a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device that you can copy the downloaded files to. You can then install a small app onto this NAS that will convert it into a DLNA player. T=You’ll then be able to stream the videos directly to your TV or any other device that has a suitable player.
A suitable NAS would be a a Netgear Ready NAS (something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/NETGEAR-RN10200-100EUS-ReadyNAS-Personal-Streaming/dp/B00IBCR7HS?th=1)
I then use 8 Player Pro on my iPhone and iPad to view the videos. My TV has a DLNA player built in as does my Blu-Ray player so I can pretty much watch Paul’s videos from anywhere in the house or on the move if I download them into the 8 Player Pro app.
You can also just browse to the videos folder on the NAS when you’re using your PC (or MAC) and watch the Videos via the network share too.
This isn’t the only way to do this sort of thing but it’s a nice, quick and fairly easy way to achieve what you’re after. I work in IT all day and the last thing I want to be doing in the evening is personal tech support so the more straight forward and simple the setup, the better.
Don’t let the IT side of things put you off, the Netgear NAS boxes are really straight forward to use these days (I’m sure other brands are equally good – I’ve just described my set-up).
Hope that’s of help.
