I'd poke fun at you too, crowbar, but I spend inordinate amounts of time trying to get ancient shit to work and call it a hobby, so no room to talk. They just can't handle your Windows 3.11 lifestyle.

Those are USB ports. His PC has the old PS/2 ports for mice.

I am willing to bet his onboard graphics card doesn’t have the power or drivers to send a signal to his new TV.

Like others have mentioned, if you get a fire stick or ROKU, you can run sites on your new TV. That computer is lucky it still works on the Windows 95 that is running it. I am not being condescending. That computer and OS is likely no longer supported by Microsoft. There is no way that is Windows 10. so I would guess at best, Windows 8 which was last released in 2013.

This cocksucker was bought by my ex-girlfriend when she moved back in.We are just roommates with benefits & in different rooms now.I am not bullshitting.

It was a refurbished PC off of Amazon that cost right at $170.00 for PC,monitor,keyboard,mouse & speakers.

IIRC the ad did say Windows 10.

It has 2 terabites if that an age indicator.

Mother fucker was free to me so, I can`t complain.

My other PC finally took a shit and lost all power.

That'll get you all the shows and movies with a lil research. Cancel all your subs. $50

Add a laptop for streaming sports.

Your free computer is a dud. They sold her on the hard drive space.

just get a cheap laptop with an hdmi port for streaming fights and I will give you stream links for them.

also, buy what prowler posted. You will be set.

Can you access live tv through this with tweaking?

DrogonTV will basically give you premium cable plus streaming sports and PPVs for a small monthly charge. I believe it has on-demand, too. You'd be set.

I just won't pay anything cause I'm cheap so I use the laptop for sports. I have free apps that will get any and all Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, etc show and movie new and old. I dont pay for anything and I watch everything, as you know lol.

I disagree, even with a VGA port he can get a signal out to TV. It's a computer, if it works with a monitor you can 99.9% of the time get a signal out to the TV. Now you may have to connect converters/adapters and the video won't necessarily be 1080P or better but it can work.

Now the Fire TV Stick or an Android device is a much smaller setup that can cost anywhere from $15-$50 or so and no need for tinkering with adapters is a better overall deal than having a clunky box in front of your TV that makes noise. I wouldn't recommend a Roku though since you're limited on the apps that run on it.

His TV will look like shit from those feeds. That’s why I recommended another direction. :) But you are right about possibilities.

The lack of maple syrup in this thread is highly disturbing
