Computer to TV Dervice...I want to have what I watch on PC go to my TV...Any way to do this?

Streams from various network sites, netflix instant views, Hulu.com, etc...

Any device available that will allow me to send these to my TV to watch instead of on my PC?

Thanks in Advance.

1. Many video cards have a TV out connector (S-Video and/or Composite). n/t

3. Here's a low-end card with composite output for $15....

2. A media bridge is your best bet. Something like this:

5. The trick

Is to find a way to convert a PC video output (anywhere from 800x600 non-interlaced) to standard NTSC signal (515 lines vertically, interlaced)

A scan converter can do it.

and yes, compressed video files like youtube will look better on the TV due to less pixels.

6. I bought a cheap ATI 1550 card and use it to output HD to TV

My sons like to play the games on Nick jr so I took an older PC, dropped a new video card in it, and put it on our wireless network. Didn't really have any problems with it. I use it to watch shows online and cruise the web. The kids use it for games.

9. The only drawback to that one is that it is limited to VGA

If you have an older TV that would work fine. If you have a TV that is capable of high definition then you would want something that can send higher resolution than 640 by 480. They don't give a lot of details at that site but you may have to set your computer video to 640 by 480 each time you use that transmitter.
