What's the Best Way To Get Web Content To My TV?

Posted by Soulskill on from the voodoo-magic dept.

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?"

    My uncle is the station manager of a small midwest TV station. In theory, I could just print out the web page and fax it to him and he'd probably put it on camera.
    Isn't that what you meant?

    You will definitely need to review your habits or be prepared to grow roots in that couch...

    1. Open the browser and navigate to the page you are interested in.
    2. Press the "Print" button.
    3. Take your new printout, and tape it across your TV. Larger TV's might require bigger printouts.

    Then it needs to be a computer hooked to your TV. Just get a wireless keyboard and mouse.

    Whoever submitted this "Ask Slashdot" needs that and a swift kick to the nuts and he'll be good to go.
