There are several ways to connect your PC to a TV but primarily you will need a connection on the back of your PC to do it. This will usually be a connector on the graphics card (RGB or S-Video) or alternatively install a TV card for TV-In, Video-Out functionality (meaning not only can you view your PC on the TV screen you can also receive a TV signal on your computer).

The best way is to probably make sure you have an S-Video link on your graphics card which can just plug-in to the S-Video IN on your TV set (if you haven't got one of these you can buy a Scart adapter with an S-Video IN from most hardware stores).

So to sum up my recommendation:
Graphics Card with S-VIDEO OUT
If your TV doesn't have S-VIDEO IN get an S-VIDEO to Scart converter.

As an extra note don't forget that you may also need to organise sound if you want this to come through your TV or a seperate amp as well!

Good luck

If you have an Xbox 360, then you have everything that you need. Just download the free Netflix viewer and off you go.

If you don't, there are a few more alternatives:

1. You could of course get an Xbox 360, but this isn't practical unless you play games too.

2. You could get a Blu-Ray player that comes with Netflix built-in. Again, only practical if you use both features.

3. Get the Roku player. This is a $100 box that connects to your TV and your broadband and allows you to watch Netflix. More information at http://www.roku.com/default.aspx

Netflix is also rumored to be in talks to bring the Xbox functionality to other consoles.

Netflix on the 360 looks fantastic, most of the times I forget that I am watching a streamed movie. It was also the first of the devices to receive HD video from Netflix.

I would highly suggest getting a ROKU player. I have one ans use it several times a week. You can stream in HD with a proper internet connection. The player is $100. Well worth it.
