Best advice to give someone for using a chromecast without a smartphone?

Hey there,

So I have a chromecast, love it and have been using it avidly. Not my issue.

The other night I decided it would be a great idea to get my dad one. He likes toys like this and I'm sure he will eventually use it.

Problem being he doesn't have a smartphone. I seldom use mine without my phone and find the browser clumsy in comparison.

What advise should I give him for setting it up and using it? (he doesn't live near, so he'll be taking it home and left to his own devices). He doesn't have issues with technology or following instructions. I'm just wanting to make sure he uses it.

I'm sure what will probably end up happening is my brother will end up setting it up and playing with it on his behalf, but it'd still be nice to give him a heads up.

I'm thinking most of what he will do is netflix/youtube.

This is canada as well, so won't be able to access several services like Hulu, Amazon Instant, etc.

Thanks.
