Re: Streaming

That laptop has a HDMI port on the left side so if your TV also has a HDMI port you can run the TV as you would a normal computer monitor off the laptop. All you'll need is a HDMI cable.

Re: Streaming

The TV will just take the place of the built in monitor. It's that simple

Re: Streaming

You've already said "I am watching LJs live sport on my P.C."

I don't love my footie so have never felt the need to visit that site, but surely you can just continue doing what you were doing, but now using your laptop?

Re: Streaming

I agree. But he's gone from saying he's watching "LJs live sport" on a PC upstairs, to asking what site to use on a laptop he's bought. That the laptop is connected to a TV is immaterial to what site he's streaming the football from.

Maybe I should have added "connected to your TV" to the end of my last sentence.

Re: Streaming

Sorry I missed that request.

Can I remind members that what you watch on your laptop is your own affair but personally I won't answer such questions relating to where to watch live football streams especially as I don't think there are any legal streams for high level games. If you want to watch such games then get a sky sports/espn subscription or use google and find the sites yourself as you shouldn;t be involving others in your own dodgy viewing habits.

Re: Streaming

£500.00+ for a laptop to watch poor quality (and probably illegal) streamed footy on your tv ...... surely a sky sports subscription would be cheaper
