Solve : Connecting Computer to TV from another Room?

Answer»

I have recently gained a roommate in my PLACE and I've moved my computer into my room.

Now the trick is previously I had my 32" Flatscreen TV hooked up to my computer and I was running Downloaded TV Shows, Movies and other random stuff. In short it was Sweet. I still want to do this but from another room.

Is there anyway to do this wirelessly via some hardware/software and also get sound through. Or am I going to have to create some little mini system to place next to my TV. (aka transfer files from my main system to the smaller system and let it run the shows. This is not the ideal option).

Ideally I want to still use my TV and have the TV hooked up to some hardware to connect it properly from my Computer. I have a wireless mouse and keyboard as well so all depending on range, I'd love to just carry the mouse and keyboard to whatever room I want and run my computer.

With TV now set up for computer CONNECTIONS. I doubt I'm the only guy who this has occurred to. HOWEVER, it's probally not very popular considing the degree of average computer literacy. I'm hoping someone here can tell me something or direct me where I can. You all have to admit that this would be very sweet and I bet everyone would do it if they had the ability.

Yep it is!

Spector, I think getting a long cable would be the cheapest alternative.Thankyou Firballs now that I know the precise name of what I'm looking for I've been able to find some intelligent results compared to my previous searches and some better priced ones. (my previous search strings found several interesting but not entirly reliant results, including this site =)

Cables could be cheaper but I'd be traveling over 30' with good quality video and AUDIO cables. That adds up. Also there is the simplicity, and neatness factor. Not having cables to trip over and being able to transfer this set up to new locations as I please is with some extra $$.

I'll post what I find out once i have done some research.
