Does anyone know if there is a way to get the internet on a flat panel TV? Wireless preferred...
Specifically, I want to be able to watch Lynda.com tutorials on the big screen (they're QT movies embedded in a page). I usually have the time to study at night, after work. The last place I want to be is at the desk. So I figure I could lay down in bed and watch some tutes on the TV.
I've searched and found very few things. Wondering if anyone has done this or knows of things that do this- well.

yeah, your tv has to have an input for a laptop. most new tvs do and most laptops do come with connectors all you have to do is plugin

do a dvd
- you have to buy the set of dvds unless you rip them from the site.fusionpixel
- Thought about that, but is kind of a pain in arse.fyoucher1
- or get a composite output on your computer and a looong RCA connector (CINCH/AV) to your tvuan
- plug some wireless sender/reciver boxes in between.uan

also some cable companies allow you to browse the web from your computer with your remote, i would check on that. i know ATT does.
- I have Comcast, dont think they have that...yet.fyoucher1

Problem with that is: TV is on the wall, access to the connections ain't that easy. Plus, I want to sit my lazy self on the bed and watch, which is like 10 feet away (TV is about 6 feet in front of bed).
Wondering if there is some sort of wireless device I can plug in, and then control it via laptop or mouse/keyboard...or some other kind of device even...

i'd recommend hooking up your laptop to your tv using a couple of adapters (SVideo usually is common). then get some wireless keyboard and mouse and utilize the fullscreen function for the video player. that's what i do at home. set the display to mirror.

Has anyone tried the satelite TV to PC soft things? I'm affraid of paying 50$ and getting a 320X240 compressed feed with horrible sound.
