Connecting to your TV Set


Stream Live Video from the Internet to Your Television!

Watch B2 Network events on your TV with a PC-TV connection.

 COMPOSITE VIDEO 
Composite video connections work with most computers and almost any TV that is VCR-compatible.  The cables cost about $5-$20.

 S-VIDEO 
Most newer computers and TVs have an S-Video (Super Video or Y/C Video) connection, which produces a sharper image than composite video. You will still need a separate audio plug connection.

 VGA (Video Graphics Array) 
(Video Output but NO Audio Output) 
If you have a flat-panel TV with a VGA (video graphics array) input, use the VGA port on your computer (the same connector that attaches to your PC monitor). VGA cables only cost around $10 - $20 and produce a great picture.


 DVI (Digital Visual Interface) 
Some newer computers (such as systems which run Microsoft Windows Media Center or Vista) and HDTVs come with a DVI (digital visual interface) connection. DVI cables cost around $35 - $75 and produce an excellent picture.


MEDIA CENTER PCs


Media Center PCs and those that run Vista are specially designed to display on your TV and to operate by remote control.  You can download and watch B2 Network events without leaving the comfort of your couch.  Check with your local electronics retailer for prices and details or get info at the Microsoft website or the Intel Viiv website.

MEDIA CENTER EXTENDERS (MCX) & DIGITAL MEDIA ADAPTERS

Watch B2 Network events on any TV in your house with a wireless Media Center Extender (MCX) or a Digital Media Adapter, set-top boxes that are compatible with Media Center PCs and Viiv technology-based PCs. Extenders or adapters allow you to watch events on a TV in a separate room than your main Media Center PC.  Aftermarket companies offer wireless extenders and adapters based on Wi-Fi (wireless) standards.  Get info on extender products at the Microsoft website or at the Intel Viiv website.
