Desperate measures !
One of the things I’ve been watching again lately is Doctor Who. The repeats have just gotten to the end of season 4 and while I’ve been watching it on the telly off iPlayer through my cable box, the last episode just … isn’t … listing …
Grr !
Desperate measures time.
My newer laptop can’t help this time, as the TV output on it is Round Peg Square Hole and doesn’t fit the telly. So …
Old laptop gets resurrected (first time in a bunch of months)
Network cable is stretched across the room to give it internet
Telly hook up cables
And hoping for a decent video considering it’s old and tired
Here’s the result :
Picture’s a bit washed out from camera flash but there we have it, laptop beside telly feeding me Dr Who amidst a swath of cables.
Result 🙂
Not a bad picture too, although I think I’m getting a taster of the improvements HD telly makes with the two screens side by side. I think the laptop picture is doing HD while the telly is limited to normal definition. Yep, there’s a difference. Gotta be looking for it but there’s a difference.
Right – time to get back to Dr Who before I pack away the old laptop again for another 6 months.
PS There’s an impending crash, bang, wallop from when I trip over the network cable.
