Connecting laptop to European (PAL) television?
I will be in Europe (France) next fall and will want to be able to connect my laptop to the televisions there (i assume they are PAL video format) so I can watch my videos on my laptop. I am not aware of the connections that those tvs use, so I was wondering if I could use a cable such as (PRESS PLAY): http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/videoware/pro604.swf Will i be able to use that cable to connect my laptop to the televisions in france? Do those tvs have the red, white, and yellow input connections? Thank you so much for your time! -Isaac

Answer 1 :
Most TVs in Europe have SCART connectors. So, you will need a VGA to SCART cable

Answer 1 :
You can get cable channel where they will have American movies and tv shows, usually available in English (vm). The basic channels RARELY have English language movies on. Or if you have a dvd player with a usb port you can take a USB memory key, download on your laptop and watch on the tv. There are sites that usually put the shows online the next day (or two, with the time difference). My favorite is ch131.com.
Answer 2 :
You will not be able to see the same kind of regular American programmes that you usually watch in the USA on a big TV when they are being broadcast unless your appartment has cable or satellite network and the chains, of which there are only two, on which they are broadcast have a licence to use satellites/ cables. Also remember there are several hours difference between America and France and whilst one has access to other countries through satellites, the programmes one can get from having a satellite dish are mostly European or from Arab countries.
Answer 3 :
Nope. American shows like what you mentioned are not broadcast all over the world. You just have to wait or watch them when you can get them on streaming....
Answer 4 :
Hi, As far as I know, none of the big american TV channels (ABC, CBS, FOX) are broadcasted on popular french satelite TV bundle... The only US TV channels we have are news channels (CNN, ...) or sports (some UK channels broadcast some ESPN events live such as NFL, NHL,...) The only way for french people to follow popular US shows without having to wait one year is to illegaly download it... sad but true... PS : before viewing an episode on Fox.com, the website check that you are connected from the USA... so it will probably not work here...
Answer 5 :
try freeetv.com (that's with the letter e three times)
