Connecting A Laptop To Tv..

[Bramleyboy]

I want to watch the 6Nations rugby but I am in Spain for a month. I have connected my laptop to a TV and used Filmon.com to tune in to BBC, via the Internet. I can see the laptop desktop picture on the TV but I cannot see the BBC transmission no matter what I try. Any suggestions desperately needed before next weekend. I think the solution must be there, I just don't know it.
Help!!!

Dont know if its legal or not to watch whatever you want to watch - I'll try and answer your technical question.

You say you get the desktop on screen. Is this the desktop with your icons or just your desktop picture?

If you don't see your icons then you might be seeing the extended desktop. Try setting it to clone or mirror or duplicate the display (depending on your system).

Alternatively you may need to move the browser onto the tv screen.

## Warning: There are umpteen malicious WebSites out there which offer access to BBC Programmes and BBC iPLayer for "free" or for a "small fee". Avoid. ##

Both of my daughters in OZ watch all the UK programmes through the internet, and dont pay.

Thank you Tuvok. Methyl reminds me of the joke about the man selling ties in the dessert and no one buys them. Then when they get to an oasis they're not allowed in without a tie. Bramley.
