Hitachi 50" plasma is downstairs and I want to be able to select and watch any programme, DVD, streamed video from a central store. My wireless router and Buffalo NAS are upstairs in the study. I was planning to put all DVD's onto the NAS so that I don't have to scrammble about looking for a DVD and then inserting it in a player. Also want to view my collection of photos which are also on the NAS. In other words, I want to select whatever media I want to watch without having to run about looking for it. Sky+ HD and Tosh DVD recorder are already hooked up to the TV.
Now the real question is what hardware? I can do this using X-Box (I think) but since I have absolutely no interest in gaming this would seem to be a bit of a waste. My favoured option is to build a media PC. I have the case and HD's and would only need to buy a new m/board and CPU and various cards but which ones and that's where I come unstuck. Also need to know if I need to be hard-wired to the router or if wireless is an option. I live in an old house with fairly thick walls.
Well, I think you get the picture and any help would be really appreciated.

Recently bought a new 32" Sanyo telly and decided what fun it would be to have my laptop running through it!!

Everything is perfect.... the screen has nothing missing... nor does it have a gap around the edges... the only problem is.... everything is sodding centred and pretty damned small!! When I run it through VGA... PERFECT (as you would expect) but HDMI seems to wanna play silly buggers!!

Now Iv tried everything short of shooting it with a shot gun from about 5 feet away... but alas I have no solution to my little cherub of a bug bear!!

Any solutions would be great!! :lease:

Many thanks in advance!! ]]> High Definition TV Hardware harky1988 http://www.avforums.com/forums/high-definition-tv-hardware/1126156-laptop-tv-via-hdm-bloody-i.html http://www.avforums.com/forums/high-definition-tv-hardware/1125832-humax-freesat-hd-pvr-what-power-cable-connection.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 21:18:23 GMT Hi all
looking to buy a Humax freesat PVR and just wanted to know what power connection it has at the rear 'cuz I have a long reach from socket to where tv etc is positioned and will probably need to extend the power cable. Is it a cable going through the back of the box and connected inside or a small three pin socket type connection?
Anyone have one?

Hey guys, I just bought a PS3 and a lovely HDMI cable to connect to my HD ready TV and then realised it only had a DVI port:god:. I am aware that you need a converter cable thingy but am a bit confused by the whole thing. People keep saying that HDMI-DVI converter cables tranfer picture quality but not audio, does this mean no audio at all or just the HDMI audio quality? If there are coverter cables do I still need my HDMI cable? Any reccomendations? Sorry for the lack of technical knowledge and any help or a point in the right direction would be massively appreciated.

Hope someone can help.

The same files (recorded on a Toshiba Camileo S10 camcorder play back from the S10 via HDMI to my TV flawlessly.

Can anyone explain this?

With the above in mind, and the falling price of SDHC cards, is Blu-Ray going to turn out to be another 8-track cartridge story? The future would seem to me to be to put HD movies onto secured SDHC cards (suitably packaged) and use the (obviously cheap) technology used in camcorders to play them.

I bought this

32PFL5604/77 Philips LCD TV 32PFL5604 32" Full HD 1080p with Pixel Plus HD - Philips Support

Is Full HD but I cannot make it 1920 x 1080 using my pc (Im using dvi-hdmi converter from a gtx 285 wich is compatible)

Nvidia control panel shows me a max pc resolution of 1360 x 768 (I can add resolutions but they look awfull)
Also Nvidia shows me an HD resolution (not from pc) of 1080p native (and others) but if I select them it doesn´t look great, also the picture exceeds the tv screen.

The TV was set as native. But only looks well at 1360 x 768.

Help :(, I will be greatfull

Thanks


Plan B. I also have a Denon 1610. If I do this:

PC..(dvi-hdmi)...AVR...(hdmi)...TV

will it accept the full hd resolution? ]]> High Definition TV Hardware dnguz2003 http://www.avforums.com/forums/high-definition-tv-hardware/1122251-max-pc-resolution-out-full-hd-tv.html http://www.avforums.com/forums/high-definition-tv-hardware/1121653-hdmi-switch.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 20:38:59 GMT Hello all,
I've previously installed a wall mounted plasma with a 5m long HDMI lead, now the customer has bought SKY HD as well as his previously owned blu ray player.
So I tried installing a 3:1 HDMI switch but the thing does not transmit audio on SKY HD and nothing on the HD player!!
I've checked the switch on single devices like my PS3 and a friends Sky HD and it works fine but as soon as I hook it up to the customers devices I have problems.
I've checked that the 5m long HDMI cable is fine and also changed the short HD cables too but still I have the problem.
Please can someone suggest a way forward with this, apart from installing a second HDMI cable in the wall - not possible anymore I'm afaid.

Regards

Forgive my crap title but Im not sure how to explain in a more basic way what I am trying to do but I will expand on it here....

I have my PC which has dual DVI outputs and obviously the 1 output is going to my monitor but I would like to make use of the other output to my Samsung HDTV to enjoy HD films etc that I have on my desktop...

Now, my PC is at the opposite end of the room to the TV so the obvious option would be to move my PC and then use a DVI-HDMI converter and then a HDMI cable but this would then mean I would have to use my TV as my monitor as there is very little room to have my computer desk and everything by the TV so....

What are my options here? If Im right, then using a DVI-HDMI converter and a stupidly long HDMI cable would mean I would still have to find a solution to get the sound from the PC to the TV aswell as maybe having degraded HD signal due to the cable length? I mean were talking longer than a 5m cable needed here!
