PC streaming to TV

[hypperboy]

My father currently watches soccer games on the pc streaming live. We purchased a subscrition and he now has access to all his games.

Question is what is the easiest way for me to have him watch the games on TV while streaming from the PC. The PC is in the room adjacent to the living room with the TV.

Let me know your suggestions.

Thanks

Well since its a only a TV, the only option you have is hooking up video/audio cables to it.

So, if you happen to have a big screen LCD/Plasma with HDMI, and a PC with HDMI capabilities you can setup the TV as a second monitor, have the streaming program only play on that monitor (TV) and it'll leave the computer usable to use the pc for surfing/chatting on its primary monitor.

You won't be able to do stuff like play games though.. games usually blank out 2nd screen.

The tv is CRT and has no hdmi input.

You could get something like this, and an extension cable.

I'm not sure if it's worth your time though because the stream probably isn't very high anyway, depending on the source.

Does your video card at least have an S-Video or something?
Its a pain in the ass to get older analog signals working, but it is what we did back in 2001...and I'm sure it still works to some degree.
