I spent $230 on a 32" 1080P TV to permit me to watch streaming videos from my laptop - and I paid $35 for the Chromecast gadget to cast the computer output to the TV via my home network. <br /><br />Low and behold, my 10 year-old router would not work with Chromecast. So I decided that it was time for a new one - but the Chromecast techie told me the problem might be that the router was too far away from my computer to support Chromecast. BUT I could buy a booster to increase the signal. $$$$$<br /><br />So I had a sudden epiphany (are there any other kind?)! I reached into my desk drawer, pulled out a spare HDMI cable and linked the computer with the television.<br />DUH.gadflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219461694806089345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33342813.post-46436085114888195942014-10-20T16:58:01.008-04:002014-10-20T16:58:01.008-04:00Chris:
