Hi -- I have a couple of machines that are used often to view avi files & the like. One is a Macbook (mine) running Ubuntu. Currently, when I want to watch a file on TV, I boot to my OSX partition, and plugin to the TV with a miniDVI cable. The other is an Acer laptop (my brother's), and is currently never plugged into a TV, cuz we've no idea how to do it. Could anyone advise on how I could a) Get the Macbook on TV without having to reboot to the (now largely dormant) OSX partition, and b) How to plug my brother's laptop into a TV. Neither of us have plasma screen TVs, or anything posh like that. Cheers, Doug.
