Is it difficult to send the video and audio from one's PC to a TV?
This seems like a much more useful solution then set top players since with a PC one doesnt have to worry about a specific format not being supported.
If you look inside set top players they contain a DVD drive and chipset then some way to send the video and audio out (eg dvi or component out, digital auio out, etc.)
Obviously a set top player is convenient and can sit right with your tv and a remote is provided, which are major advantages.
Can anyone offer a solution which allows video out and optical audio out from a PC to a TV? This would be perfect as I have a widescreen HDTV and a surround speaker system and the receiver accepts optical digital audio in.
Thanks in advance for all suggestions
