Streaming films from computer to my TV?

AfterShock · 09-22-2007, 08:11 PM

I'd quite like to watch films from my computer on my TV, which is in the other room, so a TV-out cable would be quite a stretch (and i've never managed to get one of those working anyway..), does anyone know what the current technology is like for this sort of stuff?

E.G. TVs with ethernet which can browse my computer over the network?
Some sort of ethernet to TV-out gismo? some sort of long video-out cable? Ideally I could watch youtube and stage6 etc too.

might be a way of hooking up one of these using video out to the transmitter or something?

my stepdad uses one to send the front room tv signal to the kitchen n it works quite well

My TV had a VGA cable plugin in the back- had a spare computer laying around the house and connected that to it.
I guess you could use like 20 VGA extenders.. GL?

I've downloaded tons of youtube movies and clips, and watch them on my tv. Really fun, you can even learn things too.

Cool videos:

I have a compuner with video out hooked up to a TV and I stream from my main computer. However I'm STILL looking for a good FREE windows front end for a media PC...

I had an old PC lying around, hid it behind the TV and put it on my LAN. I use VNC to access it and also have a wireless mouse/keyboard attached.
