Worlds Party!
Okay, so tomorrow is the World Pipe Band Championships.
I've got my laptop all hooked up to my 50" HDTV via HDMI cable and everything is working perfectly via the BBC website. I'm planning on having a couple of piping buddies over to watch with me. Anyone else doing similar? BTW, anyone in the NE Ohio area who'd like to come by shoot me an email or a PM and I'll give you the details. Shawn |

Re: Worlds Party!
I'll be watching them. I just plan on watching on my computer monitor though. I have to wear headphones too. Wife doesn't like the idea of hearing pipe bands at 4 AM. Piping buddies at 4 AM? I know better than to ask about that.

Re: Worlds Party!
Unfortunately I'll be traveling to my parents. I'm hoping to get there before the finals start. I will be waking up at 4:00AM to see Oran Mor!! (our PM plays with them)

Re: Worlds Party!
We'll be getting out of bed at 3:30 a.m. to watch the finals en famille, then heading out to set king crab pots. I'll have to look into hooking the laptop up to the TV - great idea!

Re: Worlds Party!
It's pretty easy if you have HDMI outs on your laptop and an in on your tv. If not you can use S-video but you need separate cables for the audio.
HDMI is all in one! Nice. Shawn |

Re: Worlds Party!
I was going to do something similar, but our 50" lacks HDMI, s-vid, dvi or vga. So, I will be watching on my 24" HDTV. Working 16 hours today so I doubt 4 am is going to happen...
