So I just got a 1080p tv the other day and just hooked my mac book up to it. I don't have HD receiver yet so I've been watching blu rays and just now decided to start watching hulu.com shows on my tv from my mac. The full screen shows are great picture.

If you haven't done this yet then I suggest giving it a try.

Just a normal monitor cable VGA or DVI depending on the TV. Most TV's made in the last 5 years are just big ass monitors.

I have been doing that for a while. It's also how I play PC Games. Crysis and Stalker on a 42" TV looks nice.

I use a dvi to HDMI cable. I got it from Fry's in Alpharetta for 12 dollars.

Then I have the mac port-dvi cable also. So it's actually two connections. The mac port you can get at the apple store and fry's also.

My tv has a mono jack in the back for sound but I instead did a split and hooked the computer right up to the receiver.

the video quality is pretty good for streaming video. This site is awesome and they have some really recent tv episodes. Thanks!
Kind of curious how legal this is though lol. When you register it says only for people in the united states and the website is extremely high quality and seems legit from the terms of use

Yes they do commercials and ads to get the information.

Which is cool. I believe it's a concept between NBC and fox. Not sure, I don't watch much TV so I don't know if there are any other shows that aren't on those two networks.

also, www.vimeo.com is also cool. It's like a youtube for smart people :P
