Browse from your tv

Is there a way to browse the internet from the couch using your TV?

you lazy person…!

one option would be to hook up something like a notebook to your tv, or if your vga card has a tv output, then you could bring your whole pc out :slight_smile:

i know it’s pretty easy to hook the computer’s video output up to a TV. are there any input devices(special mice or keyboards) that are easy to use while you’re cozied up on the couch? so many times during the day i just want to relax and browse the web without sitting in a f#*$ing chair! anyone feel this way?

Do you find it comfortable to read on such a low resolution like on a TV?
My eyes hurt when I only think about it! :eye: :eye:

if you have a big screen it would be amazing

soon the tv will be the most common way of browsing the internet…

I am currently looking for a remote software solution for the IR port of my laptop, since I often use it for playing DVD films on my TV.
just some software that sends something “keyboardshortcut alike” to the DVD playing program.
I guess I will have to learn assembler because I can’t to find a program like that, and Java is not abled to communicate with hardware like the IR port.

May I introduce you to

Tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! :smiley:

supports serial port IR only :frowning:

Maybe you could get one of those Palm III remote programs working with your laptop.

the problem is not a working remote, I just cannot find software to enable my laptop to understand the signals :frowning:

i think microsoft makes a tv internet browser… idk if it still exists tho…

the resolution on a tv is too little to be worth anything tho…

Cheers!

no… soon you’ll be watching TV on your computer. The combination of internet and a la carte cable is going to be frigging sweet. You’ll be able to go to a stations’ website and watch whatever you want.

so you’ll probably not go to the station’s website, but to some file-sharing network.[/size]
