Default iplayer on TV

Is there an easy way to watch downloaded iplayer programmes on my
TV, which is in an adjacent room to my PC.

I am running Vista Home Premium, and my PC has a DVD writer.

My TV setup is:
Panasonic TV: 2 SCART, 1 HDMI
Panasonic DVR: 2 SCART 1 HDMI
Humax PVR: 2 SCART

I have an SVideo output on my graphics card which I feed to a LCD TV via a
DVD recorder (SVideo in SCART out) although it has to be said that the
quality is nowhere near as good as using the TVs,VGA input, however it's
quite usable and more convenient for smaller screens, if you see what I
mean.

As has been mentioned, if you can connect with a cable (don't forget the
audio too), then this will probably be adequate.
Or if it's something you want to keep, just burn it to DVD.

If your PC has DVI video out then: -

One noddy DVI - HDMI converter - DVI cable - TV
plus
there is no sound in DVI so you will have to route that separately (to your
AV amp?)

No conversion is needed; just a DVI - HDMI cable, but some TVs can be
"awkward" about displaying PC resolutions.

plus

AV amp?)


Or the TV's analogue audio input located next to its VGA connector.

That would require transcoding, and hacking to remove the DRM.

Well if that's what fairuse4wm does, then it works for me. Quick too.

Obviously you will have to pick one it supports (as with any monitor).

If it even has one! Might depend on the model a bit where the connectors
are. E.g. Philips - VGA at rear, phono sound at side.

I haven't actually tried doing it, but I think grumps was meaning the SVideo
output from the graphics card directly into the AV input of a standalone DVD
recorder, any reason why that wouldn't work?

Xbox360 - Not sure about the downloaded side of things but you can watch
streamed shows (it requires an mce plugin on your pc).
