So pc, iPad, iPhone etc.

But I'm sure there's a way around that, I just don't know what it is.

Many of the newer TV's have places to connect them to the PC. That way you can watch it on a bigger screen.

You can connect the computer to the TV to watch it. But the last time I checked ( it has been some time now, technical time speaking) It is blocked by copyright software.

But as I said, it has been a while.

You best bet is to buy an Apple TV player ($99) to watch in on a television.

With your Apple ID account, you can stream it anytime you want through iTunes on a computer, through an iOS device, or through an Apple TV. Burning it onto a DVD is unnessary ancient tech.

I was considering not buy any more DVDs and buying them on ITunes and later watching them on my TV.
