Granny, Hayden made an agreement to take a lot of people to the end...he was bluffing. He's taking Lane...he told the cameras that when no one was around...unless he's bluffing us too! LOL

Didn't we used to have a tech help thread? I can't seem to find it...

Jimmer-My question isn't about viewing RP. My question is...If I have an HDMI input on the side of my laptop and an HDMI input on my TV..thats all I need to view (like a missed BB from CBS website) a show on my TV? No need to use the PC HDMI 1 (audio) -on my TV- input too...right?

I remember there was a tech thread once upon a time where we use to ask all kinds of tech questions...

Oh that's in another area of the board (though I suspect that Naja or someone else who has experience with this will wander by here and help out anyway).

The general techy threads are located here:

Sincebb1, yes, all you need is that single HDMI cable to get both the sound and picture from your laptop to your hdtv.

Kitt, you can do that, too, depending on your computer. I have the upstairs computer hooked up to both a TV and and monitor, and it's set on dual display. I can play something on the TV while I use the computer monitor to surf.

SIncebb1, I looked at your orignal post. A DVI to HDMI cable doesn't carry the sound, only the picture. HDMI to HDMI carries both.

Naja, can you have the whole picture on the tv, and normal work on the laptop? That works for me on realplayer, but with hulu, cbs.com, etc., I have to full screen the picture on my laptop for it to be full screen on the tv. Is there a different way? (I'm using S-video cables, my old laptop doesn't have hdmi.)

Naja-thanks! Originally I had read that I was supposed to use a DVI to HDMI...but when I looked at my TV and Laptop I realized I had an HDMI input on both..so I figured I could just use that. Thinking that would carry the sound too. Now...do I install with both TV and laptop off? And I read I was suppose to change something on my laptop to view. I right clicked on my Desktop and went to Graphics Properties. It say primary display notebook. Will it then say TV and I choose that after I install cable? (win7)...Thanks!

I see above that Hayden is apparently planning to take Lane- what about Lane? Don't they both think they could beat Enzo? I do!

Sincebb1, yeah, connect everything while everything is off. Once everything is on, go to your computer's display settings and you may have to do something like "detect all displays" in order to get it to see the TV. Once you see the TV listed, you have to choose the resolution for it. I chose 1366x768 to make it fit the whole wide HDTV screen. It seemed to refuse any other resolution I tried. I also keep it on "dual display" where the tv is it's own separate display. Some people like "clone" which means you see the same thing on the TV as on the computer screen. Once you set the settings one time, you won't have to do them again even if you unplug the computer from the TV and plug it back into the same TV a next time. At least that's my experience.

btw, I use a VGA cable with a 3.5mm audio cable built into it like this one. I don't have HDMI ports on the computer that I connect to the HDTV.


And for upstairs with the old standard TV hooked to the pc, I just use an s-video cable since both the tv and the pc's video card have s-video.

Meggie, since BB wont let them state specifics - they are kinda coy in talking about it, but yes, they have both said they'd take each other, and that is why Enzo is sleeping so much apparantly (depressed) - he thought he had an F2 deal with each Hayden and Lane...

Landi, I usually search for them on Amazon so I can read the reviews to make sure people successfully used the cables for what I want to use them for, and then I go to eBay and buy it there if someone is selling it cheaper. If it's not cheaper at eBay, then I go ahead and get it from Amazon.

eta:
Like this VGA/with audio one at Amazon, Landi.

Question:

Have Hayden and Lane been as "kind" to Enzo as they were to Britney? Have they had a little meeting and told Enzo that he has been played by the top two members of the Brigade and that he'll be evicted on finale night?

Lane told Enzo he would take Enzo to Final 2 if he won part 3. I'm pretty sure he just said it to make Enzo feel better. I really doubt that Lane is going to beat Hayden in part 3. Lane spent the entire summer either joking with Britney or talking to Hayden and Enzo. He does not know any of the jury members well enough to get any Q&A right concerning them.

When does this all end? I just assumed the finale was tonight but turns out I'm wrong on that.

Dang. I was hoping that Enzo would get a little taste of how he made Britney feel when they surrounded her and told her she was going home and then Enzo went on and on about how they had played her since day 1.

Hayden told Lane that no matter what, he would take Lane to final two. He pressed Lane to do the same, and Lane said he would. But, I guess he could of changed his mind since saying that.

Okay, so when will there be the jury questions? Will all that be live on Wednesday night? Because first they have to do the final HOH competition and then the jury questions and then the voting? I'm not liking this finale format.
