Broadcasting from PC to TV

[Steve Latham]

I'm at a university where we have a large screen TV to show information for
students.

The TV includes a slide show feature you can run from a USB drive, but even
the slowest slide time makes it impractical to read the text on a single
image.

We've had to mount the TV in an open area where it's not practical to hook a
PC running a slide show or powerpoint directly to the TV - fears of theft,
vandalism, etc.

So what I'm wondering is if there is a way to "broadcast" from a computer in
our office, wirelessly across the open area to the TV.

I just saw a little wireless PC to TV deal - receiver for the TV looked
about the size of a USB thumb drive.

Something like that?

Are there any concerns with wireless frequencies, etc.?

TIA
Steve

Can you use more slides with less text per slide?

How about placing multiple copies of the same slide back to back on your
USB drive. (Of course you will be limited to static slides.)

Always looking for the easy way!

Excellent idea. And very easy to implement compared to mine.
