Title: I could just cry....
Post by: VirginiaJim on June 28, 2014, 01:19:57 PM: For joy. Bought the WSBK video pass and can now watch all the SBK races. Catching up on Phillip Island now. BEIN Sport was too expensive to get on Directv so I bit the bullet and bought the SBK video pass. I have to watch it on my PC small HD screen but it's better than nothing. I've missed a sodden year of it after Speed dropped it.

And Laverty wins race 1! :banana

And doesn't win race 2 :censored: His engine had a bit of an issue just when he was about to win again and didn't finish. :censored: :censored: and double :censored: !

My laptop has HDMI out and I hook it up to the TV when I wanna watch something online.

I use Chromecast for everything now. Netflix, HBO go, youtube and anything I can look at on Chrome. In fact I mostly use my android phone for all those things and watch it in HD on my TV.

Brilliant! You get a cookie! :banana I just checked and I do have an HDMI port on my laptop and I have an Multi-HDMI box that I can hook into or just disconnect/reconnect an HDMI port. I'll give that the old college try tonight.

Post by: VirginiaJim on July 05, 2014, 08:19:40 AM: Update. I have a T430 Lenovo laptop that I use for work. The HDMI port I thought I had was USB. However, all is not lost. The laptop has a mini displayport that will interface to HDMI with the right cable. I've ordered one from Lenovo.. Stay tuned. When it comes to interface cables I prefer using the accessories that are designed by them. That way if I get into trouble I have a leg to stand on with support.
