TV through the internet

[torrenova 644]

I was going through PP's post a while back and wondered if there is a way now to get tv through the internet which i could watch on a large tv not a pc screen.

 

I could chuck my knowledge in but that is very limited. Any assistance, especially with sport and German TV would be most appreciated.

 

Thanks

And on a simular subject.... is there a way to link a laptop to a TV so what I would have on my laptop screen could be viewed on the TV screen?

 

I have several sites that I use to watch recorded programs on the computer, but would love a way to link to a large TV screen.

I cant guarantee full screen TV but this site

offers more free TV than you will ever be able to handle

You can add your pc to ur tv. I've got a sony HDTV that has a vga connection in the back

all I do is plug in the vga connector and I've got my pc on the tv. Works pretty good although

I like doing my computer stuff on my computer screen and taking movies(mostly homemade) and

watching them on the tv.

Shilo, note that with S-Video you do not get sound with that cable. You need another one for that.

 

If you are just gone look at movies or pictures this is also a possibility

If your computer has an S-Video output socket yes you can. Then you will need to get cables to match whatever is available on your TVs, normally an AV female socket, but sometimes they have S-Video too. You also need a seperate cable for the sound, from your computer (small stereo jack male plug)... to 2 AV plugs, like the ones you find on audio systems. I found all this quite cumbersome, and was not particularly happy with the picture quality. Getting the computer to output to the TV also has to be figured out... you sometimes end up with no screen to operate your computer by.. most confusing.

Thanks for the answers to my question... but getting back to Torrenova's original question, does anyone have any links to sites that offer live sports over the net? Irishman had asked about sites that show NFL games. Hell, I might even be willing to use a paysite if there are any out there with decent content...

Try this URL: It may work with a little help from a friend or family member with cable or Satellite access.

Unfortunately my TT&T DSL (in Khon Kaen) is such crap that it would be a waste of money for me. I've seen it favorably mentioned by one or two other boardies.

Does anyone know if these newsgroups things or the places where you guys get your free videos from offer sport ?

 

And what is this about TV out ? Does the computer need some special chip to make TV work to the big (54") screen ?

You can get sport content from the Newsgroups but obviously it won't be live.

 

For example, somebody in England might record the FA Cup Final on his DVD Recorder, whack the DVD in his PC and upload it to a Newsgroup. Some of these guys are so good at what they do, you could be downloading it within hours of the 'live' event.

 

'TV out' could mean a few different things.

 

Some computers have TV built in already or as an add on. TV out would be the physical connection on the PC to which you would attach a suitable lead or wireless video sender, etc so that you can connect to your TV.

 

If you have a desktop PC with a spare slot inside, you could go and buy a 'video out' card and install it.

 

There's lots of variables depending on your equipment.

I really want to get German football "live". My ideal would be say a 10-15 minute buffer so starting 10-15 minutes late, maybe 30 minutes late. As I show the 1st half, I get near the end of my buffered bit but I get a respite of 15-20 minutes at half time to "get ahead" again.

 

That would be ideal for me but I am not sure if it is possible within such a short timeframe.

The first thing you need is a good Internet connection. My stinking Ipstar is so slow that I can't even listen to radio stations.
