    How can i watch, and listen, to movies from the internet with my tv? I have surround sound and a kick butt tv. But movie rental stores are so expensive...plus i owe money. I subsribed to an online video site through blinkx. I dont want to have to sit at my computer to view though. I have a HP Pavilion a1030e with Windows XP, I bought new in 05. I am very limited on my computer understanding. Please help me figure this out as cheap as possible with as good as quality as possible. Thank you.

    what kind of tv do you have?

    I have a 27 inch olevia lcd that has a vga input. My 27 inch lcd is basically a large monitor when I connect to my computer. I've actually use it to watch videos from my computer with no problems, and using the computers subwoofer makes it sound great. I can also surf the internet on the TV.

    If you just have a regular tv (with no vga input), then you need to make sure that the computer's video card has a RCA output plug. Most TV's have a RCA video input. That will get the computer to show up on the tv.
