TV for the kitchen: advise - how to organize?

Question

laptops

There is a desire to organize TV in the kitchen, where the antenna cable hangs idle.
There is an abandoned netbook (win XP) and a desire to purchase a monitor / TV (to have speakers in it).
Question: how best to connect this good with an antenna cable?

Answer 1

Maybe they don’t suffer and buy a smart TV, something around 10k, considering the prices for monitors, the difference will not be so significant. And there the Internet and digital channels, and you can shove the antenna.

Answer 2

Antenna cable must be left in the 90s
lan + dlna + ip-torrenttv

Answer 3

Option once: buy some kind of RF modulator (there are usb options or solder to arduino / rapspberry), receive TV channels on it, encode it into a signal understandable by TV, connect it to TV via coke. The problem is that you will either have to keep a pack of such modulators for each channel, or switch channels on the modulator.
Option two: take a TV set with RJ-45, a couple of doctors bnc-to-rj45 and watch the streams transmitted from the laptop. Hemorrhoids - you have to
The options are expensive, but there is nothing better using all your components.
I would have done it without a netbook - I would have connected the usual antenna cable to the cable to the kitchen, connected it through a divider, put the terrestrial antenna on the street and watched ordinary terrestrial TV. If you need more channels - instead of an antenna cable.

Answer 4

Ubuntu server + XBMC (I advise you to look)
