    Default Connect Laptop to TV Wirelessly

    Hi all,

    Would anybody know if there's a device which plugs into the AV inputs on your tv whether its HDMI or AV lead which will then allow me to connect my laptop to it wirelessly so i can see on the TV whats on my laptop.

    I had a few friends over and i was showing them a clip on youtube and it would have been good if i could have showed them on the TV rather than everybody gathering around the laptop.

    THanks

    I was thinking of those 'room' AV senders but you havent got AV out of the laptop have you??
    If you have a Plasma or LCD TV you could connect the laptop up via the VGA connections.
    I bought a 10 metre cable and it worked for me.
    They say size doesnt matter but from a 10 inch to a 40 inch, believe me it does.

    If you have $200 for the thing, then go for popcorn hour. It will solve all your multimedia needs. There is a waiting time though.

    slick, I just reread your first post and I think with the popcorn hour you can have youtube displayed without your laptop being on. Also bittorrent is supported there.
    I also heard there should be a new release of the popcorn hour with built-in wireless card in a near future.
