Title: Computer to TV Post by: Bennett on Wednesday, July 7, 2010, 17:16:33 hello chaps
i'm pathetic and have no idea about technology other than the real basics...can anyone suggest a decent but not massively expensive way of me streaming things through my computer (spare room) to my TV (in the living room) please? ps - any lead would need to be around 5 or 6 metres pps - the tv has a hdmi port spare lots of hugs and kisses in advance Title: Re: Computer to TV Post by: santasdead on Wednesday, July 7, 2010, 17:22:34 Google or search electronics shops for "15pin to hdmi" or "15pin to scart" cables.
Thats the way i'd do it - but you probably need to check you have a 15 pin port on your pc and then have to run cables to your speakers cause the 15pin will only do the picture. Title: Re: Computer to TV Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, July 7, 2010, 17:25:11 What computer is it?
Don't forget the audio lead too. Title: Re: Computer to TV Post by: Bennett on Wednesday, July 7, 2010, 17:29:17 i've got a dell desktop erm thing. i don't think i've got a decent video card if that will impact anything
i currently run my audio's through an amp and then to the tv (thanks axs) so i can sort that Title: Re: Computer to TV Post by: stfcinbmth on Wednesday, July 7, 2010, 17:54:22 I'm thinking that rather than running cables something like this would be the way to go
