    I'm looking for a way to watch videos from my laptop on my tv without wiring my laptop directly to the tv. I had a setup in the past with an Audio/Video wireless transmitter, but that isn't very feasible with a laptop nor did it work that well. If anyone has any ideas on how I can achieve this let me know please!

    Thanks!

    you have a good idea,but it hard to realize.I have not see any production could do what you want.I am a EE, so if I were you I may choise wareless net ,such as 802.11,to do it.

    well i've been looking into it and it seems they make Wireless Media Players that hook into a dual-band router. A little more envolved than i wanted, but it looks like it's my only choice.
