I wondered if there is a bit of kit available that I can use on my Panasonic Viera TV to screen footie etc off the internet. We're just about to get BT Infinity One.

HDMI lead at risk of sounding like a twat?

And a computer.. at an even bigger risk...

my netbook doesn't have a port for an HDMI lead and it's falling apart as well. I was hoping there may be a realistically priced gismo which I could use my new beefy wifi signal with and plug it straight into the TV through its HDMI socket without involving another computer.lloydie said:And a computer.. at an even bigger risk...StrangewaysHereWeCome said:HDMI lead at risk of sounding like a twat?

If you're using a VGA male to male lead (on Amazon for instance http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-Series-HDDB15-Monitor-Replacement/dp/B0000DG4VY) you'll also need something like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/3-5mm-Phono...qid=1374599469&sr=1-8&keywords=3.5mm+to+3.5mm since VGA doesn't carry audio. Check you've got the necessary ports, VGA on the netbook and TV, and a single stereo audio output on the netbook and matching twin RCA Phono Stereo inputs on the TV. There are other cables if you don't have the needed ports.
