I know there are some boxes (whatever they're called) you can buy to do this. But I just have a PC running Linux, a PS3 and an Xbox 360. So is there a way to do what I want using only what I have?
Is there any way to stream Giant Bomb video to your TV?
You can download videos and stream them over using either the PS3 or the 360. You could probably also trick your computer into thinking it's a Boxxee Box, maybe? I dunno.
If your PC is capable of being connected to the television then installing Boxee is one of the best ways I've found (heavy Linux user as well) Quick Link to Download.
I use Rivet on my laptop and stream downloaded videos to my 360 all the time. It is the main way that I watch old TV shows and movies.
I watch most of my GB content through the PS3 browser. It's an ugly workaround, and it's SD, but it works. If you turn off Javascript (Triangle -> Javascript -> Off) then the video player will show up on any page with a video. If you want to watch subscriber videos, turn on javascript, log in, then turn it back off, as apparently it needs javascript to log in.
I still find this better than watching on a small PC screen or waiting to download the file and then streaming it, unless it's a PC quick look and I actually care about the texts.
EDIT: Boxee by PC requires connecting an HDMI cable, fyi.
It's pretty freaking sweet watching quick looks on tv I use Roku best tech product I got in years I also can stream Justin tv watch netflix,youtube videos, and tons and tons of other channels regular TV feels so primitive now.
You could also just plug your computer/phone into the HDMI port on your tv, radioshack sells a cable for it.
