Watching Internet on the TV Aeryn Send a noteboard - 25/10/2011 04:31:22 PM
I stumbled upon a pretty awesome solution recently, and want to share it with you all.

I connected my laptop to the TV using a monitor cable (from an old desktop computer), and ran the sound from the laptop to amp/speakers using a wireless audio transmitter/receiver pair. Unlike with a S video cord, the quality isn't degraded at all, and the sound from the speakers is much better than from the TV, obviously. So now I can watch Hulu, Amazon videos (there's stuff for free with Prime, just watched Girl with the Dragon Tatoo, or you can rent/buy), or Netflix if you have that, without any additional stuff.

Just wanted to share that :)


Also, I've been using a solid shampoo for the last few weeks (from LUSH), and it's pretty amazing.

Solid shampoo? Darth_Katie - 26/10/2011 03:24:53 PM 1030 Views
Pretty much. It doesn't foam, but it lathers very well. Aeryn - 26/10/2011 04:59:10 PM 932 Views

My TV doubles as monitor Floffe - 25/10/2011 05:58:59 PM 1010 Views
But the TV built-in speakers aren't great. *NM* Aeryn - 25/10/2011 06:26:54 PM 467 Views
Just add one more cable. Aemon - 26/10/2011 03:51:01 AM 908 Views
But why? Aeryn - 26/10/2011 01:47:23 PM 1019 Views
Also, my laptop doesn't have an HDMI port. *NM* Aeryn - 26/10/2011 01:51:00 PM 516 Views
Yeah, that's a problem then. Two cords/items either way I guess. *NM* Aemon - 26/10/2011 03:51:02 PM 470 Views

I'm surprised that TV companies haven't marketed this more heavily. Tom - 25/10/2011 06:43:56 PM 1030 Views
Yeah, we've watched Netflix and Hulu on our TV before (streamed from laptop). *NM* TaskmasterJack - 25/10/2011 09:45:42 PM 491 Views

If you like old tv shows (older than 5 years old) then you would also love netflix streaming Roland00 - 26/10/2011 09:39:52 AM 914 Views
They typically have TV shows from the last season random thoughts - 26/10/2011 04:20:42 PM 963 Views
