More Screen Time

I get a little angry that I can stream lots of TV content to my computer monitor but cannot watch it on the big screen which is just a few feet away. I know, it'd be possible to purchase a graphics card with HDMI output but, come to think of it, both inputs on my Toshiba big screen are already connected to devices.

Most content that's on my computer can be run through TVersity and the Sony PS3. That's one way to show stuff on the regular TV. Unfortunately, most all live, web video plays in Adobe Flash Player 9 and that's not yet supported on the PS3. If it were, it'd make things much easier. After all, if these concepts are ever going to go mainstream they have to be easy. Or at least the process is going to have to be easier than it is now.

I could wonder why I'm so excited about TV through the net as I already own a satellite box that receives high-definition and is able to save shows on its internal hard disk. I simply think I'd be happier initiating the process myself. I want to watch a wider selection of media completely free from broadcast scheduling.
