Answer Line: The best way to watch Netflix

December 17, 2012

Darryl asked if he could stream video from Netflix (and presumably other services) through his laptop, and then wirelessly to his HDTV. [Email your tech questions to answer@pcworld.com or post them on the PCW Answer Line forum.] If you're talking about a video sitting on your hard drive, rather than one you're streaming over the Internet, this shouldn't be too difficult. You would need Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) software on your computer (Windows Media Player works), and either an HDTV or a device connected to your HDTV that supports DLNA. But since you mentioned Netflix, I'm assuming you want to stream to the television. You can buy a gadget that will do this, but I wouldn't recommend it. They tend to be expensive and difficult to set up. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
