Playing iPlayer through my TV

in Techie Stuff
I have a modern Sony Plasma TV and would like to be able to play the BBC IPlayer through my TV.
I am not a very techie person so have no idea whether this is possible, or whether there is anything I can buy to connect my laptop to my TV that would make this possible?
Thanks in advance for your help...

it very much depends on your laptop and its connections.
also as to whether it can output from those connections
easiest way is a PS3 TBH

all depends on your laptop, some laptops will have a HDMI socket so you would just have to hook it up with a HDMI cable, others will have a VGA socket which will transmit the video but not the sound - so you would have to sort out another connection for the sound, so if you can give us some more details about the actualy equipment you are using we might be able to help a bit betterDrop a brand challenge
on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)0 -
PS3 and the Wii both work perfectly - if you have either. I've never had great success with streaming from my laptop.0

or if you are with Virgin Media you can get iPlayer through their box.0

Maplin sell an adaptor for £30 or so that will take VGA from laptop and generate AV signal for the TV. You need an audio cable as well.0

The following devices (amongst others) allow iPlayer access:
Recent Sony blu-ray players
Sony internet TV set-top box
FetchTV set-top box
PS3
BT Vision box
Vigin Media boxThere's love in this world for everyone. Every rascal and son of a gun.

You can also access iPlayer via Wii.
I am told my Humax will receive an update this year to enable iPlayer access and hoping this will happen soon:T"A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members." ~ Mahatma Gandhi
