Hooking Up
OK, so you might find yourself in this situation someday, if you aren’t already there… You have tons of cool stuff you’ve downloaded with BitTorrent and you’d love to see it on your monstro-huge flat panel TV. What to do? How do you rock the 10 foot interface? Well, my friend, here’s some tips to help you make that happen.
Luckily, there is more than one way to skin this digital interface cat — from simple and inexpensive to slightly more complicated and costly. But we’re happy to report that it can be done, and even the technically-challenged such as ourselves can achieve oneness of computer and TV.
Where to start? Check out BitTorrent’s Guide To How To Make PC - TV Connection. Here you’ll find step-by-step instructions for the manifold connection solutions that range from simple cable arrangements to nifty devices such as Netgear’s awesome Digital Entertainer HD (EVA8000), which allows you to stream movies, videos, music, Internet radio, and photos from your home PCs and storage devices to your HDTV (or regular TV) without the need for media server software running on your computer. (We want. We want.)
And if that doesn’t totally fill you with awe and make your noggin hum like an overtaxed slot car transformer, then check this: the free software from Orb allows you to “mycast” all your media to any internet-connected mobile phone, PDA, or laptop. So now, not only can you rock the 10 foot interface from TV to couch, you can also enjoy your vids and other media files from just about anywhere.
So there ya go, intrepid digital adventurer. Your quest awaits you!
