| 1485579 | 2022-04-22 00:42:00 | if reading your post / Question correctly ( please advise if wrong) BUT going by the statement I was really wondering if I could listen online but no one seems to know where I can do that. Not to worry. if you are watching the TV and then want the audio say from your computer, the chances of the program on the TV and the computer in complete sync is near to impossible. Even when watching " Live TV" if you watch it on a TV and at the same time on a computer, one is always at least a few seconds behind the other. As 1101 Does, just watch / listen on the computer if you want stereo. I am playing Netflix etc from my PC. But, unfortunately, I cannot listen to the TV audio in stereo Sounds like ( no pun intended) you are already there, if the PC is actually playing to the TV, then simply use the PC's audio via head phones or separate Speakers connected to the PC. Basically the TV is acting like a big monitor. That's how our media center was setup - The PC under the TV and speakers connected to the Computer. Now days though since I had a rebuild and change around, the computer speakers are now connected to the 3.5mm on the TV, and all other devices attached connected via HDMI which carry both Audio and video. |

| 1485580 | 2022-04-22 01:40:00 | Thank you, Wainui. I was not wanting to watch it on my PC. I would rather watch it on the TV's big screen. But I did not know that TV1 was online. Thank you for telling me that. I had a look and, as you say, the PC is a few minutes behind the TV, but that does not matter as I can bring it up on my PC, listen to the audio and cast it to the TV. Problem solved. Thanks very much for your help, Wainui. Most appreciated.:thanks |

| 1485581 | 2022-04-22 02:05:00 | Sometimes if there's a Program On TV 1,2 or 3 we want to watch, we actually switch over to On demand. The good thing about it is the adverts are short only 30 seconds instead of the 3-4 minutes on Normal TV. Side Question. When you say cast it to the TV. If its an older TV then it wont have something like Chromecast inbuilt, so what is the PC casting to (or more to the question) What is accepting the cast from the PC ?? |

| 1485582 | 2022-04-22 02:32:00 | I bought a Chromecast gadget well before TVs came out with it built in. But watching the programme On Demand sounds like the answer. I only thought about watching On Demand for shows that are not on TV. I did not realise that you could access all programmes like that. I will give it a go. Thanks for that, Wainui. Very helpful.:thanks |

| 1485583 | 2022-04-22 07:30:00 | You absolutely sure there's no audio output? maybe an HDMI input with the ARC function or an optical Toslink connector? Most cheap soundbars have one or both of those options and would sound a whole lot better than the TV. Just FYI ARC = Audio Return Channel, sometimes one of the HDMI inputs also functions as an output with compatible devices. Even my cheapo warehouse Veon TV from 10 years ago had both those outputs although the ARC function was a bit flakey to get going sometimes. |
