downloaded films -> tv

by spiROZE • 23 Mar 2010, 18:46 • Journals
I was wondering what the cheapest solution could be to watch my downloaded movies, series (HD quality) on my tv. I don't have a laptop atm..

I've searched abit and I could just buy a cheap but decent laptop and share my folders on my pc to the laptop and then watch them like that but that sounds a bit expensive tbh..

I know that there is somekind of WT Digital box (i don't know the exact name anymore) and with that I can share my folders over the netwerk and watch my movies on tv.. but the problem is that I don't have an internet plug-in at the place where my tv is located. so it has to work wireless..

any ideas? remember: wireless & HD-quality

Grtz

you don't need an old Xbox to run xmbc ;) any old PC would do although you would have some problems with HD movies :)

My TV can play movies right of a USB stick :) makes it pretty easy but if your tv cant then that also sounds expensive :P

Wireless?

There is absolutely NO cheap DECENT solution to get wireless signal, not to mention wireless HD signal.

Prepare to pay 200+ euros.

it's cheaper than paying an electrician to drill holes in your walls

Yes, much cheaper to do it with wires.

Some DVD-players and digiboxes and stuff support LAN so you can stream the movies through that.

Wireless consumer video technology is quite new so it's quite expensive too. It'll get cheaper in a few years but I bet you can't wait.

depends on tv, but many modern tvs can be connected with pc (vga) by cable and then just set it as secondary screen or smth.
