can i connect a HDMI cable from my computer to my tv to watch videos from my computer on my tv??
If each has a port to accept it, then I’m sure you can. That’s what they are for.
NOTE: I don’t know if it’s safe to connect them while either is turned "on".
I have windows media center, what kind of cable or connection would i need to play the movies or internet tv from my laptop on my TV?
Media Center is a software package. It works with lots of different hardware configurations. Also every TV is different. You will need to examine the laptop and see what types of output you have. For certain, there will be a VGA output that you would use to attach an external computer monitor. If your TV has a VGA in port, you can use that with a standard computer monitor cable.
Older laptaps often have an RCA port or a S-Video port. Depending on which yours has, you would need either an RCA or SVideo cable (Google them to see what they look like). The other end of the cable will have to match whatever input is on the back of your TV. (RCA is most common)
Note that VGA, RCA and SVideo all carry ONLY the video. None o them will send the SOUND to your TV. You will need a second cable to go from the headset/speaker jack on your laptop (normally a "mini-jack") to whatever the input is on the TV. (Usually a stereo RCA.)
Finally, if it is a new laptop. It may have a flat, slotted port that looks a lot like USB that is labeled HDMI. That is a High Definition video port. Most TVs today have an HDMI input. It carries not only the picture, but also stereo sound. So if both have an HDMI port, you only need one cable for both picture and sound - and it will give you the best quality of both.
But you will have to look at your laptop to see what is available to you - and your TV.
looking for the standard channels really. would like some help with a legitimate site or company.
You can get a TV software to watch live TV channels on your computer, like ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC and so forth.
This is the best one I know of. http://TVPCU.com
I think you’ll really like the channel selection that comes with it.
Or do you believe that people have even gotten rid of their television sets to be on the internet more?
Are you for television ?
Or for internet?
Or both?
Much less TV. When I was home, I used to constantly watch tv before I had internet. Now I only turn it on if something I like is coming on and I check the listings every few hours to see what will be on. I like to watch TV in the morning because my computer takes too long to start and I chill in bed for awhile.
i have a port on both my tv and computer but i don’t know which channel or setting to put my tv/computer on so i can watch movies from my laptop on my tv. please please please help me!
you will need to find a "source" or "input" button on your remote and select the input/source you have plunged you HDMI cable into. They should be all numbered. On you laptop you will need to press Windows key and "P" and select "projector only" assuming you have windows 7.

any help would be great thanks 
tryed all that no luck as i said its only showing up as one screen thanks for reply though
VGA to Component video cables only work if your VGA device is capable of outputting an RGB Component compatible signal. Unfortunately, computers can almost NEVER do this.
What you are going to need is an actual VGA to component converter. This type of converter will take the VGA signal from your computer as input and convert it to a true RGB Component signal to go to your TV. The cable cannot accomplish this, and just changes the physical plugs. There is nothing in that cable you have to convert the signal from one format to another. VGA is a 5 part video signal while the Component is a 3 part signal. The horizontal and vertical sync signals need to be combined with the green video channel so that it can be sent as a component video format.
I have personally used more than a dozen of these converters and the one that seems to be the best compromise between quality and price is the one found at vgatocomponent.com. You can see their page at this link:

I would strongly recommend returning that cable for a refund if at all possible. Those cables only work under very specific circumstances, and are generally intended to be used to connect an RGB component source to a VGA projector that supports RGB component signals through the VGA port.
