Easiest way?

[captain_slinky]

tech-nerds, I ask of you! What is the EASIEST WAY to get video from your computer to your regular digital TV set? Is there some device that will allow me to just connect my Laptop to my TV?

Ideal situation would be some set-up where i can sit on my couch with the laptop, use it to browse the files on my desktop computer and then play said files on my TV set in front of me.

I've found plenty of devices that (as I understand the descriptions) send TV shows from my TV to my Computer, but not the other way around? Am I missing something?

K you still have not answered the question required to solve the issue which would be what ports do you have on the TV and what ports do you have on the PC? If unknown take pictures. Then I can help better.

TV has RCA and Coax inputs. Computer has VGA and USB output ports. That's all, except for yur standard headphone jack.

Waht I'm currently considering is moving one of the Desktop towers (which has an S-Video Out) in to the living room next to the TV, then getting a wireless keyboard/mouse. Just have to figure where to put the tower so it doesn't look stupid...

You should see my set up then, I have had mine set up the way your thinking for ages. A cheap fix could be a VGA to RCA adapter then:

If you have your heart set on doing the wireless thing however will be way more expensive.

The only time that Mney is not an issue regarding something that I have my heart set n is when we're talking about prostitutes. Thanks for the link, that looks exactly like what I'm looking for :)
