In the conservatory we have a big television
It has not got a USB port on it
That means ( for instance ) I cannot hook up any of our hard drives with films on them
I know dongles like Chromecast etc plug in to the HDMI socket and note that they have a USB socket on them.. Which I presume is used to supply power to the dongle ?
Is there anything I can get that will allow me to plug USB drives etc in to them which I can then in turn plug in to the telly
The TV in question is a 54" Samsung that has all the usual sockets apart from USB
It was bought just before USB became de rigueur
