I am an unrepentant Luddite, but I want to find a way to run video streaming on an iPad to a dumb TV.
DH is able to do it with his laptop but the cord he uses does not fit my iPad.
The TV does not have a port that fits any of my iPad/iPod/iPhone cords.
There is one of those things (LOL at my ignorance) that one sticks a cord with all those pins on the end labelled RGB video.
But, otherwise, I see none of the USB style ports I am used to seeing on my Mac (to which I can hook up all my other I-thingies).
Is there a way I can do it, or is my TV YM-approved but obsolete?

You have to run the video in slow motion. Otherwise the dumb TV just doesn't get it.  |

I'd prefer to just buy a cord, not another device. Among the 4 of us, we have a Mac, a laptop, 2 MacBook Airs, an IPad Air, an Xbox 360, a Wii, 4 iPhones, cable, and Wifi. If there is one thing this family doesn't need, it's another device.  |

Your phone is the remote control for it. They cost $25. |
