Thread Starter 
i am cool with crappy resolution. i will download some hd contents to watch on the nice tv. just need to keep up to date on news and those talent shows that's all.

will give it a try tonight see if i can find any software to stream. my mom definitely won't like to control the tv with a mouse and keyboard for sure.

that antenna won't work. the port on my tv is tiny. is there adapter like this? maybe i have one i'll look.

Wouldn't the antenna connect to the tuner card in the PC?
