Oldie, not very techie here.
I have a tower PC upstairs and one HD TV downstairs in my house, wireless BT internet with router downstairs.
As a BT subscriber I can now watch BT sports on my PC, but would prefer to watch it on the TV, without paying the BT TV subscription, is there a cable or link I can use to do this please?

I use a Sky box for my BT Sports. If I wanted to watch it online on my TV I would connect my computer to the TV with a HDMI cable.
The problem here is distance. You would need a longish HDMI lead. Also you would need to control the TV output from the computer upstairs.
I guess the Sky option is not possible here. What would a BT TV subscription cost?0 -
Has your existing PC got multiple video outputs?? Has it even got HDMI output?If not, then extra long cables to the TV aren't going to help!
Simplest & tidiest way is to buy a cheap nettop PC or laptop with HDMI output which can be connected to the TV locally,to stream BT Sport direct to the set as second monitor.Not a very cheap option however!!0 -
No HDMI output, not sure I would recognise a video output.
Trying to avoid paying subscriptions!0 -
Any more ideas please?0

The video output is the one that leads to your monitor. VGA probably.No free lunch, and no free laptop
