Watch Satellite TV On Your PC

How do you watch movies from your computer on your television?

Filed under: television on computer — admin @ 9:49 am

I have a HP Pavilion mx703 Windows XP desktop computer.

I was wondering how I could watch movies from my computer on my television.

I heard it has something to do with S-VIdeo. My television has an S-video, but my computer does not.

Any help will be appreciated…..

I could not find that model number specified as anything other than just a monitor but depending on what connections you have out of your PC and into your TV, you could use S-Video or just your VGA. Or again a combo cable such as VGA to S-Video.

  1. It depends on what inputs and outputs you DO have. If you don’t have Svideo out on your computer, then what do you have? DVI and VGA only? That’s not going to cut it, unless you have a newer TV with DVI inputs. Whatever outputs your computer has, use those inputs on the TV.

  2. you will need to get a Video card that supports the video out option (IE S-video, RCA, DVI, HDMI) and install it in your computer.Most newer TVS support hd-15 connection (the cable that goes from your computer to your monitor,

  4. If you have a DVI port on your laptop, and a HDMI port on your tv. Then you could get a dvi to hdmi cable. I am unsure if it will carry sound over it though, you may need to use a seperate audio cable for sound.
