I would like to be able to view the lessons on a TV & I am wondering what methods others have used to accomplish this? I have successfully connected my laptop to the TV & viewed them that way but it's kind of a pain. Is there a way to stream them through a Roku or Chromecast? Any other ideas?

If you have windows your best options are using Chrome with the Chromecast or to stream directly to an Xbox. My personal favorite is the Apple ecosystem because of the multitude of ways to effectively stream any content. I can stream from my laptop, iPhone, iPod or iPad to my apple TV with the press of a button. The windows/android world is getting a bit better but its not quite as integrated as the Cupertino progeny.

I have to say I disagree with this. An Apple TV is $99 (starting). A chromecast is $35. You need Apple products to seamlessly sync with Apple TV. You can use anything with a Chromecast (an iPhone, a windows laptop, an Apple laptop, Android device, Windows phone etc.) Why do you think the Apple ecosystem gives you more options to stream content than a Chromecast?
Chromecast streams from Chrome or Chromecast enabled apps only. In my Apple world I can stream anything off any apple screen to any screen or set of speakers in my house. There is no combination of Windows/Android technology that offers that yet, they are working on it but its not quite there. The flexibility of the windows/android world brings with it limitations inherent in fragmented technology and divergent goals. That being said Chromecast is a great solution, I've helped friends set them up, I like them as an addition to non-apple ecosystems which is why I suggested it in my first post.

I have Chromecast however I have not streamed the lessons yet as I just bought the special so I will have to check to see if it works. I stream everything else without any issues though. :-)

I see what you mean. Chromecast definitely needs to evolve in terms of supported apps. For the purpose of streaming videos off this site, I've noticed a lag with Chromecast, although now that I think about it I was using a chromebook which is hardly a high performance machine. So your experience might be better with a better computer. No problem so far streaming straight from YouTube, but I understand that's not an option for SV.
Thanks for recommendations Webmaster. Have you guys ever considered making a SudioVeena Roku channel? That would be pretty awesome!
