    As you correctly state for plugging a Monitor / TV into a Laptop / Computer.

    D-SUB is another name for VGA. It only carries video to your TV though, not audio!

    OK. So for audio, the most viable option would be to plug my headphone (and split it) output into the audio in of my TV, and then I should be able to view downloads or iPlayer on a larger screen.
