I want to watch the golf channel video stream, and downloaded movies on my TV
I don't have a smartphone or wifi

I have a cable modem and a router
my TV has a HDMI and usb port

i bought the chromecast but it seems that you need a wifi connection or a smartphone to use it

I take it you have some PC or such that you can watch these on your PC.

Now you need a HDMI cable from your *unknown PC to your TV. That's how many do this.
