I have a number of videos and movies on my computer, and instead of putting them onto DVDs, I want to to stream the straight to my TV. Is there som way I can connect my computer to my TV? I have an NVDIA Geforce 6600 graphics card, and also a cord which fits into some sort of plug on the graphics card and the other end into the TV, so I can connect them, but I haven't had any success. I'm guessing this is becuse I need to do something to the computer to get the video to stream through the TV?

You might need to enable the TV-out..

Uh...basically all TV's have an RCA input, and the 6600 cards all had an RCA or SVHS output. SVHS is easilly converted to RCA.

I think what cuffless was trying to say, a few new TVs have VGA or DVI input, but this is very uncommon compared to RCA inputs.

Click the advanced button from there :P Or, my previous Nvidia cards have all had an option where you could right click on a video and there was a "Play On My" option. If it detects a TV, it should show up down there. However, this typically is rather buggy and doesn't work right away :rolleyes:
 
Yeah you should have got the lead with your Graphics card...I did anyway and my friend did also.

Then i had to look in display properties to enable it...I had bot my Tv and my monitor running like dual:D

Independently? I know ATI's theater mode was much better than what Nvidia has, but it is possible to just play whatever video is playing on your primary monitor full screen on your secondary(TV). This is regardless of the size on the primary monitor.
