Return the cable for a refund, but first check the output on your laptop and
the input on your TV. You could even take your laptop to the store and have
them demonstrate to you what you need and how to make the connection and
with what cable.

If thay can't (or won't) do that for you, find another store.

My laptop has an output labeled "HDMI". I bought an HDMI cable at WalMart
and hooked it between my laptop and my TV. I also selected (in my case) the
HDMI-3 input on the TVs menu since that's the input the cable is connected
to. Could that be your problem?

Scott,

You should be able to simply connect your laptop to your TV via an HDMI
cable and a separate audio cable. Your local electronics store should have
everything you need and be able to show you how.

As for Grand Prix racing...sign me up if it's within a days drive from
Clermont, Florida.

However, the intent of my original post "is this the future of our
sport?" (specifically in the USA) was more towards the live feed
cameras on each glider, so an audience could watch from the ground or
on cable TV. This has been a common practice in sailing with the
World Cup, and seems to have caught on internationally in Soaring. I
have always thought of the USA to be a leader in the world, but when
it comes this matter it seems we are behind.

I am disappointed that the World Championship in Uvalde wasn't
captured with live feed, or at a minimum a DVD to document such a
collasel and monumental event. If other countries are doing this, why
aren't we? Will we welcome this addition to our sport here in the
United States?

PS if someone can help guide me on how to connect my 48 inch flat
screen to my Desktop computer, I will bring this out to the seniors
for the contest so crews can watch the race via Spot Tracking. I can
leave it in the clubhouse for te whole week. I think a lot of crews
and wives particularly would appreciate seeing a realtime view of
where everyone is at.

I bought a cable that has a Serial Connector at one end and a HDMI
connector at the other end. It did not work. Apparently my
electronics store doesn't know what the heck they are talking about.

Waste of money! What else should I try?
