  do a dvd

  • you have to buy the set of dvds unless you rip them from the site.– fusionpixel1/4

    Thought about that, but is kind of a pain in arse.– fyoucher12/4

    or get a composite output on your computer and a looong RCA connector (CINCH/AV) to your tv– uan3/4

    plug some wireless sender/reciver boxes in between.– uan4/4

  Problem with that is: TV is on the wall, access to the connections ain't that easy. Plus, I want to sit my lazy self on the bed and watch, which is like 10 feet away (TV is about 6 feet in front of bed).

  Wondering if there is some sort of wireless device I can plug in, and then control it via laptop or mouse/keyboard...or some other kind of device even...

  i'd recommend hooking up your laptop to your tv using a couple of adapters (SVideo usually is common). then get some wireless keyboard and mouse and utilize the fullscreen function for the video player. that's what i do at home. set the display to mirror.
