Hi All! I need some technology help. Since it is football season I would like to be able to connect my laptop to my TV wirelessly to be able to watch the games while smoking outside. I have a TIVO box through our cable provider and I already have wireless router for our multiple other devices. Is this possible to do with and how do I go about it?

Look into a Slingbox, that is where I am looking for the same solution.

If your cable company doesn't offer a PC client that allows you to stream shows from the web, look into "Tivo Desktop" software. It should allow you to view recorded shows on your PC. You might have to trick the Tivo software to watch a live show though; the classic way to do this with a DVR is to set the DVR to record the game, wait a minute or two, then start streaming the recording (from the beginning) to the PC.

If all that fails, like Jay said, get a Slingbox.
