“Couscous dude” came and asked me if I know how to configure a “demo wifi”. It was, in fact, a satellite receiver. I told him that he needs to connect to a satellite dish for the receiver to work. He told me that the receiver should work through Wifi.  Indeed, the receiver can connect directly to the internet and play movies through a specific streaming site.  Many internet ADSL boxes do the same thing. My TV can do the same thing without any receiver!

His real problem is that he does not know what Internet/Wifi,  radio signals or satellites signals are. It is very confusing in his head. For him, Wifi is not internet related even though the first thing he did was to connect to his internet box through the Wifi server and enter the Wifi password :’)

Chromecast would do exactly the same thing but better!
