I was almost giving up when a friend recommended one of the softwares. I wasn't optimistic but had to try even if it would be for the last time. In all I had access to over 3000 TV channels from around the world in addition to my favorite American shows.
The software is made by an online TV software company called satellite TV to pc and their software that I downloaded is known as the pc 2007 elite edition.
The elite 2007 edition has 3000 channels and comes with over 1000 free online radio stations to listen to. I'm actually able to watch some TV programs that are never available with the other networks in united states.
The company charges a small one time life time membership fee of $49. This you pay only once and you get all the later updates when they are released free of charge. If you have S-Video sockets on both devices, buy a cable. A 12-foot long cable sells for under $5 on eBay or Amazon.com. The cable will cost considerably more if you buy it at a local store ($20 to $50+).
You can try higher resolutions, but they may not work.
If everything is in place, you should see your ordinary Desktop and icons on your laptop monitor, and a copy of your Desktop background without any icons on the TV set. Your Windows Desktop now extends across both monitors. Test by moving your mouse pointer to the TV set.
Simpler video cards don't have the resources to carry colors, so the second monitor may be Black & White. Try another PC, or settle for B&W, or you can try choosing fewer Colors.
If the TV set is to the left of your laptop, click and drag the #2 monitor icon so it's to the left of the #1 icon, just to avoid confusion.
Launch your internet browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox or Chrome) and go to the Netflix (or other) website. Choose the movie you'll Play online. Make sure your browser is not "full-screen" -- click the little box/double-box at the top right corner to make your browser slightly smaller than full-screen. Now you can click and drag the top of the browser to one side and drop it on the TV set. Click the box/double-box and it will expand to full-screen on the TV.
Click "Full Screen" in the bottom right corner of the Netflix player to get rid of the menus and backgrounds. Click the center of the screen to begin Play. Move the mouse to the laptop Desktop to make the controls disappear. If you have nice speakers, connect them through the headphone jack of your laptop to obtain richer audio. You may also listen through headphones, or a double-headphone jack (Radio Shack, $5).
Enjoy your movie.
These trial services too, have their own advantages that save an individual from all the hassles that may be encountered along the way. One benefit is that online trial versions are human friendly because it gives the person an idea on what is provided by the internet universe. Another thing is that, these services act as advertising tools because the trials help feature some of the shows being offered.
