Easiest was to set up a tv as a second monitor.
What is the easiest way to set up a tv as a 2nd monitor on a G5?
Let me explain what I am trying to do. I use an EyeTV device to record tv shows to my mac. That way I can watch them when I want and can zap past the commercials. However, I can only watch the shows on my mac. I was thinking it would be cool if I could set up a tv as a second monitor and have the tv display what on my main monitor. That way I could get a long rca or s-video cable and run it to my tv in my living room and watch the shows on that. I could also get a bluetooth mouse and keyboard so I could control everything.
Is there any way to get this to work? Is it just a dumb idea, or would it be slick? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff
