The new TV Season is just around the corner. There are two last episodes of Breaking Bad until the series ends. It’s my #2 favorite, following Game of Thrones. Both should be watched from the pilot, through the entire series. It’s easy on Netflix for Breaking Bad; and for Game of Thrones, go to projectfree.tv and look for it under “G”. 

It is rapidly becoming a scenerio where you need a decent Internet connection and something like a Magic Jack Plus and Netflix and something like a Rocu box or a smart TV and you’re set, for phone and TV series. 

I know this is a simplistic comment, but it is the direction things are heading.

Then you need some way to get the picture, if necessary, from your laptop or computer to the huge screen. One way is to have a server on your home computer and broadcast to the smart TV or Internet-enabled Blu-ray player. Another is to have an HDMI interface on your Laptop and an N wireless WI-FI. Some tablets and smartphones have the right interface. You, of course, need a cable from your computing device to your screen. There are wireless scenerios from your computing device to the TV which are getting pretty good. Going back to the server and then to the TV is too long a path, but controlling the server on the main computer and broadcasting directly to the TV from it works, but I haven’t tried this is a while. This is the Microsoft Media Center type of scenerio which can be done with various non-Microsoft methods, also.

This is all pretty sketchy, of course, but a “best” method has way too many variables for me to pick one for you. 

I’m going to get into this over the next year and keep you informed of my success or failures.
