Hello,

Maybe a month old, but I'll tell you anyway.

You need a TV Out Card.

This means you can get a PCI Card for your computer and put it in a pci slot and you can hook up the required cables and place the correct channel for TV, Which prolly be an A/V other than one being used by a DVD Player or VCR (If you own them), but more can be explained in detail once you purchase your card and cables.

If you don't have any PCI Slots available, I'm sure they have external devices to do the same thing, PC to TV.

If you want any card details or external device, Please let me know.

NOTE: PCI Cards for PC to TV usually is a video card.

that or you could burn it onto a dvd disk and then play it through your dvd player.
Usually downloads HD movies or DVDR and burn them onto high space (4 - 8 gig) DVD disc. Usually they are in iso format so youll need an .iso mounting software such as daemon tools (ill put it up here in due time) to mount them onto the disc. for normal dvdrips use a software called convertxdvd with converts file types (.mkv, .avi etc) to the correct format you need so that it can be read by your dvd player, although these days th brand new model dvd players can play X.Vid format movies from disc.
