The Internet in your living room - on your HDTV
Saturday, October 25th, 2008I’ve discovered that almost all HDTV’s sold today are equipped for connection to a PC. Better yet, I’ve also discovered that almost all laptop PCs have VGA/SVGA outputs for connecting an external monitor. So all you need is an inexpensive cable and VOILA - the Internet is on you HDTV.
I’ll admit - I had to go out and actually purchase a HDTV to test out this concept. My personal laptop is about 4 years old and doesn’t have an s-video output. And, as it turns out, I’m glad it doesn’t! The VGA/SGVA output is far superior. Your HDTV is basically a very large monitor for your PC. So I’m no longer recommending s-video cables unless, of course, you don’t have an HDTV. So what are you waiting for - put some of that economic stimulous to work and support your country!
Today I’m going to offer you a complete package: everything you need to make internet television on your HDTV reality. Zipityzap.com is your software - a free internet television portal to help you quickly find and tune free internet television and movies. And now I’m pleased to announce the launch of PCTVCables.com - a place to purchase a low cost PC to HDTV cable combined with complete instructions on how to get set up. So there you have it - internet television software and internet television hardware. No expensive box required!
