İ am not very technically literate so be patient with me!

İ live abroad and would like to somehow port myself back to the uk by getting an ip address there so i can watch English tv on my new big screen telly that has usb connector --i have a pc in the house that my wife watches films on but i am considering getting a new laptop and wonder if i could do this on a wireless system with a normal laptop? or just connecting the pc with a long cable?--see i am not very litterate!!!---i do need a laptop for my daughter's happiness!

You should be able to connect using a VGA to Component Cable.

Or if the new laptop comes with HDMI a simply get a HDMI cable and connect via that

will there be an issue with running speed for tv through a lap top??

No there shouldn't be. It's basically the same as plugging in a monitor to your laptop.
