Once in a while i am out of town at a pad in the woods doing none other than woodsy guy stuff like hunting, fishing, 4 wheeling etc.

The cell reception can be very spotty, right down to literally where you are standing on the property. Of course there is no phone line run to the cabin either or anything like that, and i never even bothered to get a dish, because i feel im not there often enough to justify the ridiculous cost/extended contract etc.

I try to make it a goal that when im out there to just out the phone down, turn the tv off, and enjoy the peaceful solitude and nature surrounding me. Nonetheless, sometimes if im there and the evening is winding down, id like to be able to kick back and watch something.

So recently Netflix announced that you can download some of their content. Great! Pretty much what i was wishing for; except i noticed reading an article that the downloads were apparently only available for ios and Android. My issue is that i will normally hook my laptop up to the tv via HDMI.

Is there any way to bypass the mechanisms so that i can download Netflix onto the laptop? If not, does anyone have any ideas as to the best avenue to remedy my issue and simply watch something? I mean, i used to do the torrent thing a while ago, but it seems as though its fading and its becoming harder to find the right shows with a good quality picture.

Ideas?
My Android which is like 3 years old does hdmi out. You have to buy the appropriate cables but this solution is surely more direct if your phone has that capability.
