Computers & Internet Connecting Live streaming to Televison.

[Hatchy1992]

I have a Panasonic Plasma P50V20A televison that works perfectly fine. My dilemna is that I download a lot of livestreaming due to only having FTA so that I can watch my beloved Premier League on the television.

Is there is a way of connecting the TV to the laptop with a cable or something. Anyone know anything about this?

Connect your laptop to the TV with an HDMI cable, HDMI cables are about $20.

And what a beautiful television you have as well.

It's a shame Panasonic are getting out of the Plasma business next year.

i'd get a raspberry pi, install openelec and then download a plugin called sports-a-holic.

it has all the SKY UK channels. Stream is pretty good quality. Also has links to NBAtv, NFL Network, NHL and a few more

i've been using this method to watch the english coverage of the ashes. been mighty fine

I called Panasonic the other day, they also confirmed this. It's dissapointing. Plasma Tv's have potential.

When the world runs out of oil and we're all living in caves, they'll still be talking about these tv's.

Shouldn't be paying more than $10 for a HDMI cable.

Anyone have experience with Google Chromecast? On the surface it appears to be a pretty simple option.
