Hi all,
I recently purchased a nice TV and I'm looking into hooking it up to my computer so that I could watch some
internet programs on the TV. What would I need in order to do that?
The TV is a Sony, Bravia XBR2, 52â€
The Receiver is a Onkyo , TX-SR-705
I also have a small problem with my computer. I bought a USB 2.0 PCI card and installed it into my computer. When ever I hook up a USB 2.0 compatible device, the little pop-up on the lower right warns me that the device would function faster if it were connected to a USB 2.0 slot. Is it because my motherboard doesn't recognize the PCI card as a USB 2.0?
Thanks for the help.

But my vid card has no HDMI and there's no optical output on the PC. Using a DVI to HDMI cable should work to get the picture on my HDTV, but DVI doesn't do sound, right? So is there any other way to hook my PC up to the 5.1 reciever?

Thanks for the reply. My computer has everything onboard. It's an older Dell model I got from a friend about three to four years ago, so the video and audio on the computer are both OnBoard. Since that is the case, do you have any recomendations as to what video card to get that would be up to the task?
Here is a listing of graphics cards that have HDMI. For about $65-$75, you can pass your video+audio to your receiver. This would be the easiest way to do things, but not the cheapest.
Even cheaper would be to get the cheapest graphics card with DVI + DVI-2-HDMI converter (would cost about $30 together), and use 3.5mm connector for sound (would run you another few bucks from monoprice.com).
And about your other issue, if your machine is was a lower end model from a few years ago, it could possibly not do USB2.0, there for any cards and such you put in will just run at 1 instead of 2 regardless of its capabilities.

Yes, DVI-2-HDMI will work for you. Check monoprice.com for the best prices. Does your computer come with a S/PDIF connector?
