I have a Windows 7 64 bit computer and I want to use XBMC to access my media. I have a couple of large flat screens that are a couple of years old. The TV's have multiple HDMI inputs but thats about it. I have a PS3 connected to each of the TV's but apparently the PS3's cant work with Linux apps. So how do I get the content on my PC through XBMC and onto my TV?
I have Cat 6 cable from my router run to the PS3's, but the PS3 doesnt recognize the XBMC program. I dont care for Windows Media Center or Player and have them disabled. Unfortunately there is no CAT port on the TV's so there needs to be a device that can accept a CAT cable and output to an HDMI on my TV that works with XBMC but what would that device be?

How do you get a HTPC content to older TV's with just an HDMI input?

Spare port on graphic card =
HDMI port = use HDMI cable
DVI port = Use DVI to HDMI adapter + 1 pair of pre made adapter wire for sound from sound card

or
Replace Graphic card with one that has hdmi output on it

My PC has an ATI Radeon HD5570 which has an HDMI out as detailed here: http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bizsup...lang=en&cc=u...



Does the video card connection provide both audio and video?
