i have a nvidia graphics card with a vga port and a dvi port on it
i have the vag port hooked up to my monitor and the dvi port hooked up to my tv
all i get on the tv is a picture of the desktop and the monitor working no problem
i want to be able to use both at the same time, monitor for normal pc stuff and tv for watching movies
problem is that they are in 2 different rooms
how can i manage them both and see what comes up on both from the pc monitor
