To set up any type of PC to TV system whether to watch home TV on a computer or use a computer Internet TV (with PC Satellite TV software installed) to watch free Internet media on a home TV-set, it requires two key components: 1) Video Card, and 2) Video connector cable. Setting up this type of system using number 2 will be the focal point of this article.
Whichever one is the goal, watch home television on a PC or watch computer Internet TV (with PC Satellite TV software) on a home television set, keep in mind the picture quality on a digital high definition television will be higher than on a computer screen. This has a lot to do with the computer and screen capabilities/limitations that determine the video quality.
Setting up a PC to TV can be very cheap and simple enough that even a cave man can do it. For instance, while there are all kinds of computers today, many of them share common audio and video ports to make the transition simpler. There are essentially four types of video connectors that will do the job, and only takes a small tech know-how. Here is a list of some of the most well loved video connectors to consider:
Identifying Four Connector/Adapter Cables. . .
1. VGA, stands for Video Graphics Array, and are available to nearly every Windows-based computer. Although this connection doesn’t offer the highest quality that a HDMI or DVI connection offers, it’s commonly used and works well with a SD (standard definition) or HD (high definition) TV that uses a VGA port. The price for a used VGA connector can be a few dollars and under $20. 00 to buy it new.
2. HDMI stands for high-definition multimedia interface and DVI means digital visual interface. Both of them offer the best connection for HD TV. Some high-end video cards on computers will have HDMI ports on HD TV-sets. Many times, MAC computers will have DVI ports that allows a connection to your television’s HDMI port–using an HDMI-to-DVI cable or adapter. For a used HDMI connector, it could run under $10. 00 and a new one can cost over $10. 00.
3. S-Video means separate video an can be found on SD and HD TV-sets. This type of connection is more common when connecting a DVD player to a SD TV-set. And it works well when using either a desktop or laptop computer that has an S-video port. The cost can be as small as a couple of dollars for a used connector cable to over $5. 00 for a new one. 00 (new).
4. Composite/RCA often comes with many TV-sets. More than likely, you have seen these cables at one time or another. They are those yellow, white, and red connector head cables for your video and audio. You can also use them to connect your video camera and DVD player. Some computers have video cards with RCA connections and they can be used to convert a computer’s video signal through the RCA cable going into a TV-set.
When making an audio connection, it depends on the computer’s port which in turn will determine whether or not to use separate cables to get the video and audio working properly. More than likely, you will have to optimize the computer’s audio output such as volume settings and surround sound. This requires going into the computer’s Control Panel to make minor adjustments.
How to make the audio connection depends on whether or not a computer has a HDMI port, which in turn determines if a single cable or separate cables for the audio and video are required. Also, connecting a headphone jack and external speakers to a computer can be made as well. Optimizing the audio output may be required but very simple to do. It’s just a matter of adjusting the volume settings by going into the computer’s control panel.
After determining which television and computer connector is needed, the next step is picking the right video/audio cable to make the PC to TV connection. You can find any one of these connectors/adapters in local computer stores or online easily. The cost is very low and can take minutes to setup a PC to television system.

Audio Technica Silent Point Headphones have turned me into a total music zombie. These headphones are so excellent that I never want to take them off. Turning the noise canceling feature on it practically eliminates low to mid range frequency noise. Like the noise you would hear from airplane engines, the bus, or on the subway. The company claims that noise will be reduced up to 85%. In my experience that is about right. The sound quality is tremendous. I was never blown away by turning the volume up or by overusing the equalizer. There was a noticeable lack of huge bass. This was simple to right by setting up my MP3 player correctly. The treble notes were incredibly clear. The Silent Point headphones are also very comfortable. The ear cups are padded and are really very light considering the amount of stuffing in the cups. They look very similar to the Bose top of the line noise canceling headphones with the black and silver color combination. They also run on a single Triple A battery which will last around 35 hours. The headphones will still work even after the battery quits but the sound quality is just trashed. Pricing for the headphones are around $200 bucks. They are extremely competitive in sound, comfort, and over all usability as other brands of noise canceling headphones. I reckon the best part is that they do compete with the heavy hitter Bose in that I get the same quality but pay a lot less. Overall a fantastic pair of headphones.
