I know this is a stretch, but is there any TV coverage of the game this weekend??

The Big South Network

Ouch, harsh!

I had to watch on Big South Network this past weekend and it wasn't so bad....I just hooked the laptop up to the 50'' TV. It's not HD, but you can see what's happening just fine

Great idea. If I'm free to watch, I usually hook-up the laptop to the team's theatre. Main purpose is scouting & film breakdown, but I like this use, too!

I've heard more positive comments about the Big South Network than the Edge. But call me gun shy when it comes to buying games from Kyle.

Somehow I don't think I'll miss much this week living off the live stats & Jerry.

[Sivart]

Are they not showing the game at the Bill again? Oh well, I guess I just will bu...y... There has to be around paying for a game that has bad coverage... Free find, but for money.. well that just sucks...

So we can plug our laptops into our TV sets? I may need to get Medic to draw me another map or diagram on how to do this.

[PAmedic]

I tried the other week and couldn't figure it out either.

BTW- I guess I neglected to mention that I watched via BSOUTH Edge and was pleasantly surprised: relatively clear and no drop-outs.

Shocking- I know.

[Sivart]

So is worth paying for if no other option is available? Ok... well that makes me feel better...

IMHO yes, it's all of 5 bucks and I waste that at WAWA every day

The easiest way is via a VGA cord, provided your TV has a VGA input.

If not, you can use regular AV cables, but a Canopus Box and a removable vid card are usually also necessary. This way is a hassle.

I have no idea what any of this ^^^ means. Please start at the beginning- what are AV cables? And maybe just forget about the rest- no way the wife oks a cannibus box

[TDDance234]

The easiest way is if you have an HDMI port on your laptop.

[Cider Jim]

I have places on the front of my VCR for cables. Can I run those to my laptop? If so, what kind of cable do I ask for?

[JK37]

AV's are the Red/White/Yellow cords. Red & White are audio, Yellow is video. These are the most common inputs to most older TV units. Using these, your order from computer to TV: laptop to vid card to fire wire to Canopus (not cannibus) Box to AV's to TV. All of this (and the expense of a Canopus) is why other methds are much simpler.

Maybe you could input from laptop through your VCR to the TV, but I've never tried it.

Most new and/or flat-panel TV's come with either an HDMI (TD's preferred method) or VGA (the smaller horizontal strip jack) hook-up. Through these, just one cord hooks laptop to TV, if your TV has one of these.



IMO, if you're going to watch a decent amount of streamed games LIVE from the Internet, its completely worth it to purchase a good sized flat panel with this capability (HDMI or VGA).

[JK37]

A better description of a VGA might be: the cord that connects most desktop CPU's and the monitor. THAT cord is a VGA cord.

ooohhhhh.

like a printer cable? I might have one of them.

I don't know if my laptop has that though- I think it just has USB ports.

and I'm actually impressed that I know what USB ports are.


thanks for the help tho

Yes, like some printer cables. Ironically, however, most newer model printers in my experience connect to a PC via USB.

i didnt think they ever made printers with vga cords? What kind of printer does medic have? Im envisioning the old school paper that was all connected and you had to tear the sheets via the perforated line in order to make them singular. you then had to tear off the extra random sides full of holes that I never understood what purpose those had

[JK37]

A vga is similar in style to an old-school printer cord. Sometimes you just gotta give it to these oldies and call it a day.

This was the easiest comparison to make to someone who still uses a simple Nextel phone.

its called a dot-matrix printer sir.

and its fantastic. The things never die. You get the paper in a big box, fan folded - it just feeds and feeds and feeds via the drive wheels- hence , the "extra random sides full of holes that [you] never understood what purpose those had"
