it would be better to shut down your pc move it to the tv area and plug everything in and then turn it on

Plug it all in and then turn on your PC.

 

If your PC was not near the TV (like mine) would there be any way to stream to the tv rather than moving the PC.

 

Sorry to hijack your thread.

Nothing to see here - move along.
