Yep. I don't have TV channels, but I have a TV. It is quite handy.

Do you own a TV? I find that my iPad fits my need for a TV.
How far is your desktop from your TV? Do both have an HDMI port? If so, you may just need a sufficiently long HDMI cable.If I had a laptop, that would actually be an idea. Thank you.
I've been wondering how to do that with my laptop. Is it difficult to set up? I presume it just requires an HDMI cable, and changing the input setting on your T.V.?I think the easiest way is just hook a laptop or computer to it and use it as the monitor!

All you need is to plug in the cable and if you have multiple HDMI slots select the correct one and it’s there.I've been wondering how to do that with my laptop. Is it difficult to set up? I presume it just requires an HDMI cable, and changing the input setting on your T.V.?

Thanks, Kitty. I know it would be great for YouTube videos and PC gaming, especially.All you need is to plug in the cable and if you have multiple HDMI slots select the correct one and it’s there.
I often use TVs as monitors. It’s excellent for steam games (especially multiplayer).... or doing homework on a bigger screen... I learned this from my friends who also watch netflix that way.
But there are many other ways to get streaming onto tvs.
Oh, I didn't mean to imply that there isn't a limit (50 ft or ~ 15 m) to how long a functional HCMI cable to me. Sorry if that wasn't clear. My point was that he should keep the distance between the devices in mind when looking for a cable. A 6 ft (~2 m) cable won't do him much good, for instance, if the computer is 15 ft (~ 4.5 m) away and he can't move it closer.A long HDMI won't work with UHD or 4K. With 1080p maybe but not sure.
May have to use a splitter or repeater to boost signal of long HDMI. I'm probably just using cheap HDMI!
I’m pretty sure I used that converter with my old tv that didn’t have HDMI when I got a Blu-ray player with an HDMI connection. It works.Thanks, Kitty. I know it would be great for YouTube videos and PC gaming, especially.
I just checked, and my T.V. doesn't have an HDMI input port. It's an older model, but does support HD component cables, RCA and S-Video. An HDMI-to-Component external adapter or cable adapter might work.
