Solve : Help with connecting Comp. to tv?

Answer»

Hello, My question is: How do I get netflex on my television screen? I am going to include everything I have tried so far and nothing has helped.
TV is a 47" flatscreen with HDMI port and USB ports.
Blueray DVD hometheater system with HDMI port
Toshiba Laptop with USB ports and NO HDMI ports.
I have tried using the conversion connections for HDMI without success
I had a DVD player HTS and was told it was not blue ray so I purchased a blue ray system and was told by the store that I could use it to view netflex through my computer. I can veiw netflex video on my computer but I want to view it on my tv. I hope you can help me, I am very aggravated with the whole thing. .

Thank you very much

Welcome to the Ch forums. Well from your post on your issue it appears that without a cable capable of two different ends (HDMI=TV) and (?) for laptop. We need you TELL us what type of output video port exists on the laptop. Then once we know that i feel very confident a specific cable will be available. Do you have an external VGA port for instance?truenorthOk, as far as I know there is a RGB Port and a a few USB ports and a Ethernet Port. If it helps I also have a ARRIS Touchstone Telephony Modem box and Motorola that has several ports on it, these come from the cable company the cable co. did not leave any books with any info on these items. I am sorry I do not know the tech. terms for these things. All I want to do is get Netflex on my tv, lol.
Thank You so very muchThis "netflex" thing... it's not Netflix by any chance, is it?

As for the cable... VGA to HDMI cables cost about $15




LOL, yeah it is "Netflix", I am sorry about the spelling. I have already tried the connectors you have in the pic. those did not work. I have also tried the "FN+F5" while using the connectors. I spent 82.00 bucks at Radio Shack on cords and connectors and had to take them back because they did not fix the problem. I ended up buying a Blueray DVD player like Netflix suggested and called them only to have them tell me the Philips DVD player I bought was the wrong one, you would think they would have gave me the EXACT product I needed. I have a account through them because we watch Netflix on the computer.
If you know of a solution please tell me.
Thank You very much Did you change the TV's input to HDMI?Yes, I did change the input to HDMI. I am wondering if I can connect my BDVD to the internet and get internet to filter through the BDVD to the TV? I have a LAN connection on the back of the BDVD. Would you HAPPEN to know weather that can be done?
Thank YouContact Netflix and tell them about your account what bluray dvd player they support and what you have. Having or using HDMI cable connection for your monitor and dvd player has far better graphics. Check your MANUAL for your Bluray DVD player.Please provide the EXACT model of the Toshiba computer. truenorthYou should of bought a sony playstation it has blu ray, wireless, gamer, internet browser I would bring back that dvd player, the playstaion is so simple to use all you need is a wireless router and an hdmi cableyou will get a netflix app when you turn on the bluray player PROVIDING it's on netflixs list.Quote from: lochinvar on May 09, 2011, 01:41:46 PM
