One of the most frequent questions we get around here, particularly from individuals who have just purchased a new Mac and are looking longingly at their home theater is, "Can I hook my Mac up to my TV?"
The answer is a resounding 'yes.' With a simple cable, and maybe an adapter or two, your Mac can easily drive your home theater system. And that means more than just playing games and browsing the web on the big screen. You can also watch streaming and on-demand services, such as Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, and Amazon Prime.
And don't forget all of the video content in your iTunes library. Sure, you could use an Apple TV, but why pay for another device when your Mac is quite capable of handling it?
