Depends what video/audio out connections you have on the laptop. Your laptop manual should detail how to connect the laptop to a TV if it has any suitable outputs.

If there isn't a comparable input on your TV you can probably get a [whatever] to HDMI cable/converter. Sometimes it involves using the HDMI input for video then connecting a separate cable for the audio.

If you want HD output and don't have HDMI or DVI on your laptop then a USB to HDMI converter may be an option, but they're not cheap as chips.

Depends on the video sockets on your laptop.

If you have HDMI on your laptop, then you can just use an HDMI cable to go to the TV, for example.

Sky Go Gb Usage

I have signed up for Sky Go so that we can have Sky in our weekend place - I currently have an internet monthly usage of 10Gb - how many hours roughly would this allow to watch tv over the internet before exceeding this allowance ?

TIA
