    My TV is a 28 inch widescreen Toshiba TV with a CATHODE RAY TUBE which to me is a normal TV. I apologise if I did not get what you all meant by what type of TV. It has 2 scart sockets and an aerial socket and has an analogue tuner.

    My DESKTOP COMPUTER which to me is a computer, NOT a laptop, has a built in network card connected to a Netgear wireless router by WIRE which is then connected to my Virginmedia modem.

    The wireless part of the Netgear router is used to connect my wife's computer, not laptop, wirelessly to the internet.

    So going by some of the replies I am getting, I haven't a clue what I am on about, therefore my question, what do I connect to the back of my TV to stream STUFF to my TV. And can it be done if the TV only has scart sockets?

    Probably not, but as I refuse to enter PC World I shall never find out.

    And the next time I see that PC World advert on the TV I shall bury my head in the sand.

    So in other words assuming I have all the necessary equipment to stream video WIRELESSLY from my computer to a receiver within about 30 metres, which I have, I just need to buy a PS3?

    All this from an annoying advert from a store that I detest.

    Please do not post any more replies as it is obvious to me that I don't want what is being advertised and if I had it I would never use it.

    Now I hate them even more.

    Nope. There are other ways and you need go nowhere near a PC World.

    For info I have a device called a "remote control" which allows me to change channels or indeed switch my television off. That way I can avoid seeing things I do not wish to view.
    We all evolve - get on with it
