For example if you have HDMI on your laptop and TV then simply connect the two.
Am just about to buy a new lappy (This looks like a good do. Anyone? http://www.argos.co.uk/BIS?partNumber=5 ... nce=TRK009" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ) So will address the situation when I have.
What I want to do is to be able to order up films online and watch them on my tele.
May the bridges I burn light your way

Re: Today I'm happy about......
If all you want to do is watch films online through your tele you can just get a box that will do that. There are loads around and some will let you surf the web/watch iplayer etc. too. You can use a remote instead of mouse and keyboard for browsing from the couch!Bruce Rioja wrote:This sounds like it involves me crawling around on my back.Wandering Willy wrote:Very simple really - depends on what input/outputs you have on your PC/laptop and TV.Bruce Rioja wrote:Ahhh, can someone tell me how you do that?Wandering Willy wrote: I think I'll be getting something a lot smaller and LCD so I can play the computer through it.

If you still want to connect a laptop you need to make sure it has video output eg HDMI/DVI etc.

Re: Today I'm happy about......
Quite a lot of new(ish) tellies havea computer port (VGA) on them anyhow, so even if you don't have HDMI port on computer, you can run it into the telly...Wandering Willy wrote:Very simple really - depends on what input/outputs you have on your PC/laptop and TV.Bruce Rioja wrote:Ahhh, can someone tell me how you do that?Wandering Willy wrote: I think I'll be getting something a lot smaller and LCD so I can play the computer through it.

You can do it wirelessly but it's expensive and doesn't have great reviews. Google connect laptop to pc and you should get enough info. PM if you get stuck and I'll try to help - I'm a novice too.

There's an adaptor that you could buy from scan or something that'll do the sound bit

Correct - but useless if your laptop doesn't have a video output. i know most do but I couldn't see one on the one Bruce linked to. Caveat emptor and all that.Worthy4England wrote:

The sound bit is usually easy via a earphone type cable if you don't have HDMI.

Re: Today I'm happy about......
but i'm also angry about an email from the deputy head who expected (without asking me to) that i had done this womans reports this term that she normally writes cos she had been off sick two weeks so i covered for her and thus supposedly 'saw the girls more' (which is not true anyway, cos she has them on wednesdays too). Am not a mind reader. Grrr.thebish wrote:wahaaaay!!!Gooner Girl wrote:today i'm happy that the woman who made my return to work from mat leave such a misery is retiring at the end of the year....
