I have a dell laptop. Vostro 1500 with Vista Business. I also have a (few years old) Sony 50 inch TV with a comuter imput terminal on the back.
Can I connect the two so I display the laptop as a second screen and would I then be able to watch streaming TV (BBC iPlayer for example) on the TV?
Can you tell me what leads or special software (intermeadiate eqipment) I would need?
If it is possible .... is it worth it (picture quality etc) . Please advise on the basis that I am not very good with computers (I am nearly 60)!!!
Thanks

HTHIt could have been worse. At least source code's not combustible, or you can bet somebody at McAfee would have lit it.0
