Title: streaming to TV
Post by: NoBS|Thirsty on February 06, 2010, 07:36:59 PM
OK how can I watch on my TV what i have on my computer screen. I know to DL movies and shit and stream to the TV via xbox. Thats the only thing its good for actually, and playing hockey. But isnt there a way to stream to my TV live. Like if i wanted to put up a game i was playing so friends could watch it live as it happens, or more importantly, i could watch hockey games live on the TV like i do on the computer screen.......
Keep in mind the TV is 40 feet from the computer, so I dont think an S-video cable would work. ??? ??? ???

DVI and HDMI are the best....I use DVI to HDMI and you need to plug in a single audio cable since DVI is just vid, but it works WONDERFULLY!

assuming your video card has two outputs... like dvi to your computer, and then use the other dvi (or dvi to hdmi converter) and run that to your tv... go to ati/nvidia control panel, and click "clone"
