RE: Netflix --Connecting PC to TV

Posted by Bob Brines on October 30, 2009 at 20:39:24:
>>What type of OS are you running? Win 7 Media center now includes Netflix in its menu. There is possibly a plug in for this as well? If you have an older version of Media center. I thought I saw one a few months ago, but haven't investigated it further.

I'm running Vista, but I will be buying the 3-1 Windows 7 pack soon

>>Yup a newer HD TV would be the ticket if you were inclined to drop the dough. Maybe once you get a taste of it, you'll give it a go.

I know, I know. I will probably pick up a new ~50" plasma after Christmas.

>>There are some very inexpensive bare bones refurbished HTPCs online for as little as $350 for $400.

Probably not, since this is only a means to get at old TV shows when there are nothing but reruns on. This is NOT an investment! We rent the CD's of the serials we like, but missed early seasons.

Thanks,
Bob

By the way, I'm still enjoying your speaker!

You may very well be better off the something like the Netflix Roku player.
