I'd sure like to be able to do that.
Thanks for any info you can pass on in advance.
Oh, by the way the streaming is working great now.

If you have a newer flat screen tv, all you need is a regular monitor cable with both end like this.

And there should be a connection in the back of your tv for it. Then you will need a 1/8 mini jack male/male cable for the sound (or if you want to hook it up to a home theatre, mini jack to RCA). And on your tv remote should be a button called RGB or you can hit the input button until you see RGB(technically Red, Green, Blue).
If you have a different connector, it might be DVI and you will need a DVI cable (either RGB to DVI if you video card doesn't have DVI out).
My sisters tv only has DVI input.

I know this sounds sounds techie stuff and maybe hard to understand. If you were closer, I would be willing to help out in person.
