Q:

How do you connect a laptop computer
to a TV without having HDMI on both?

Unless the TV support's it you will need some sort of 3rd party box. We used to use our TiVo box, but it requires a subscription. Which one lacks the HDMI input / output?

FYI: Computer to TV using Ativa Cable


We tried this at home and its works!

The Ativa VGA/SVGA (6ft) Monitor Cable
HOB 15 Male/HOB 15 Male Item 828-540
allows you to connect a high resolution
monitor (or TV with 15 pins) to your PC.

The video will appear once you switch
from TV to PC on your digital television.

You also need an audio cable to bring
over sound to the television speakers.
