What's the Best Way To Get Web Content To My TV?
An anonymous reader writes "It seems like there are a lot of options for getting web content onto our TVs, but which one is the best way to go? Being able to stream videos (especially through sites like Hulu), check out social networking sites, and read news would be awesome to do from my couch. Currently, I hook up my laptop to the TV, which works, but it's annoying, especially if I want to use my laptop while I am watching some videos. Some things that are important to me are: connecting to my HDTV, allowing me view anything I could in a web browser as if I were on my computer, and being easily controlled from the couch. What setups do you guys use, or what would you like to use?"
I don't have one of those anymore. Well, I do, but it's in the basement. Lately I've been watching everything directly on my computer, because I got tired of the broadcast/cable schedule and prefer on-demand instant gratification (via the internet, or via stored videos on my hard drive).
If I did want to watch something on TV, I'd just use the HDMI out connector.
