stream videos to tv wirelessly

I saw on the tv commercials that you can wirelessly stream video to your tv and I just wanted to know how to do this.
I have searched the net for an answer and can`t find any info on this topic.

Welcome mardav111,

See if this helps you out, and if you have any more questions you can post back.

I know how to setup a network,but I don`t know how to setup my tv to recieve wireless signals.
If I need an extender then I MIGHT AS WELL CONNECT MY PC TO MY TV.
I am goig to get a little sarcastic hereand wonder if this is just a sales pitch for win 7,because the comercial doesn`t say anything about any other hardware needed to do this.The way I understood it was that it was just a push button thing.
If I need some other hardware then what do I need?

Well since you already know how to set up a network I probably don't need to post this link but here it is anyway.

There is always something to setup, so to answer your other question, no it is not just a push button thing.
That's the best answer I can give you, maybe someone else has a better one for you.

I see now.I do need more hardware and that is the answer that I was looking for.
Thanks for your time and effort derikimo.I just wish that the commercial had made this apparent so there would not be any confusion on my part.

You're Welcome,
It does appear much easier in the commercial, but that can be said about alot of products.
There always seems to be "additional equiptment required" or " Your experience may vary" , of course that part is usually in fine print or almost invisible to see but that is how the market works.

Well if you need anything else feel free to come on back and ask.:)

Im in the same situation as you, the commercial made it sound like this was a basic feature, and the main reason I got 7.
If you do need additional hardware do you mind sharing the requirements with me, as im trying to do a wireless setup as well.
Also I havent looked into it yet but I think there is a way you can do it with a Ps3 or Xbox.

Here's a list of compatible extenders,

Windows 7 Compatibility for TV Devices: Extenders for Windows Media Center Hardware: Download Device Drivers

X Box is listed there.

You know what I just gave up with it, Im using my PS3 to watch/listen/view my video/music/pictures. The best part is that you don't need 7 to do this, my next computer will be a Mac.
