What's Most Dependable to Stream 1080i&p Video to my 60" Mishubishi HD DLP TV

Geofelt, (Thanks for your quick answer), The URL on the HiSpeedHDMI cables has a lot of good info & the prices seem reasonable. We just moved & there is no way (and NO ROOM) for the desktop PC & 60"TV to room together. Yes, I did consider that. How about your experience (as well as the groups) with EVGA 02G-P4-2643-KR GeForce GT 640 2GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card. As it contains 4X the Cuda Cores & 2X the RAM would it help get me HDTV or be waisted bells & whistles ??? Thanks, Dont811 (12:31PM)Wed

Geofelt, I 1st disconnected the HDMI TV from my HP media center Desktop. Got my HP 22" monitor to work using the DVI cable (No HD monitor so i was back to the OLD DAYS). Turned off the PC completely, attached the HDMI short 6' cable to a Panasonic LCD-HD. Rebooted the PC then reconfigures the Nvidia Control panal to use BOTH 'monitors' to show the same screen. This is done by Cloning the 2nd monitor (TV in this case) to my PC's monitor. It was NOT that hard at all !! The hardest part was getting the 22" HP monitor to stop resetting itself to 1600 something by ????. So there we were, wife & me, watching www.cbs.com last night (a show we missed on monday night) In glorious 720iHD (I don;t know why not 1080i) . Which is entirely what i wanted to do since CBS does not lend it's programs out to Roku (streamer box) like the the other major networks. I don't know why...wait it's got to be all about the $$$ & distribution rights. I can't see that 'cause the other networks still have TV spots (ads) with their programs. In summery I proved you do NOT need to spend even $100 for a video card to stream & watch internet TV of the major networks. At least so far. I have NOT tried watching ESPN's URLs as yet. Just the ability to watch Hulu.com and see their content, even though we subscribe to Hulu Plus adds a lot depending on your tastes. My point is if MORE & MORE people did this & canceled their "other" TV providers and just got a high-speed internet connection...think of the $$$ you'd save. I'd still LOVE to see what a 2GB video card w/ more than 96 Cuda Cores would serve up to me & my 60" Mitshubishi 1D. LOL thanks for reading me.

Hi, I just received a note in my box stating that the problem (issue) and question has been solved. THAT COULD NOT BE FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH. I posted my question on Oct 17th & here it is Dec. 16th and I have yet to be convinced. I appreciate the few nice guys who took the time to answer___allow me to update you. I was given a 2006 Compact Presario desktop w/512MB ram TOTAL. I installed 2GB WHICH improved MOSTEVERYTHING.
I reformatted the HD to WinXP Sp2 and installed a 1GB PNY GT-430 video card, only because I already owned it. Got a Logitech wireless keyB&Mouse and placed the PC next to my 60" Mitsubishi connected w a 6' HDMI cable. hardwired to the cable Dosis3 (50Mbps) modem. The FREE TV is GREAT but,...a little fuzzy (grainy ?) while we're watching any of the multitude of programs on Hulu.com or ABC/CBS/FOX.com. Don't get me wrong-we enjoy & love being able to ''beat the system !!"
***my point is I wonder just how much MORE detailed would say a Nvidia GT 640 2GB GDDR5 card BE ??? 2 years ago I saw my nephew's game-only PC and the color/detail was out of this world. I've also been monitoring DAILY, the prices of GDDR3's vs. GDDR5s from Best Buy's so-called ''sales'' & places like 'theEGG". I can NOT help but wonder if a Kepler/Nvidia graphics card w/ at least 394<?> cuda cores will give me that pristine 1080p PICTURE (ya know that SAT-TV & cable once gave for a small fortune) ??? Now my best bud tells me he can NOT see a diff. between a 720i and a 1080i/p. I say it depends on the TV, the graphics card and especially his and my 60+ year old eyes !!! Well, I CAN see a difference ! He's got this expensive new SHARP that I swear, has built-in-distortion. So I am again asking should I SAVE UP (eat peanut-butter&jelly sandwiches) to get a mid to high end card ?? The local staples-OfficeMax_Depot have "0" video cards in stock and BestBuys have either the LOW end or $179+ cards. I await all your opinions. with a 1 more thing: my browser page fonts are MICRO-MINI when the resolution is tuned for say 19xx X whatever (the picture is good but...) any way to ENJOY the best of both worlds whereby i can SEE my shortcuts w/o using my binoculars from the couch ??????????????????????????? THANK YOU, regards, Don
