Watch i-player on tv?

tallmum

Hi

I'm sure this is a daft question, but I often download i-player programmes onto my netbook to watch later, but ideally would like to watch (and listen) to them on my tv - which is a panasonic TXP42-G15. How do I connect my pc to the tv (ie which output & input)

Please don't laugh as I'm sure it's obvious....just not to me!:o

get a VGA Cable and connect it up

Then either extend your display or use the tv as ur main monitor.

Or if its got DVI get a dvi to hdmi cable. You might need a lead for audio though

Other options are wii, ps3 (possible) and also Freesat+ are having iplayer capabilities added very soon, granted comes at a cost

You will still need a lead for sound to back of tv

The netbook can provide the sound.

It not it plays just as normal only difference the TV the monitor nothing else is changed. Can even set a dual screen up with laptop and tv.

I have the setup here and it works fine.

Oh didnt know that. The Humax HDR is due to be supported if you have a iplayer code
