Hello:

I want to watch Arrested Development, but I don't have any of the devices I need. Oh, I have an HD TV, and a DVR, and a computer, and an iPhone, and a router, and HDMI cables...

But my Blue Ray player is, apparently, too old, and I don't have an xbox, or a hulu, or a kindle, or whatever all those things are that I need..

So, being a non-gamer, what do I need, how much does it cost, and how the hell do I install it?

If you have an internet connection and your laptop has an HDMI port you can use your HDMI cable to plug your laptop in to the TV. You should be able to watch Netflix from your laptop provided you have an internet connection and a subscription to Netflix.

Hello f:

Ooooh, I DO, and I have HDMI cables.. They're just not long enough... But, I can plug my laptop in close to the TV. Sounds pretty good. Thanks.

Do you have a Network Connector on the TV? Some allow Netflix, Hulu, Youtube etc. Many of those have the capability to connect to your Wireless router as well.

Hello Strat:

I don't think so. My TV is not internet ready.
