I bought an HP mini 1000. I also bought a port replicator so I could connect to an external monitor,keyboard and mouse. The monitor has never worked because the replicator does not have a VGA port and the 17″ flat screen monitor has no USB port. I bought the following cable which was suppose to fix that problem.

The HP comes with XP which allows for multiple monitors. I intended to use the laptop screen and the 17″ as a secondary monitor like I do at work.
I can’t get the video to work properly at this point and I am no longer sure that the HP has TV watching capability.
Before I spend any more money on and ISP solution and hardware that may or may not meet my needs, I am looking for expertise.
I would like to use my laptop as mobile device, plug it in as a “normal desktop” via a replicator and download TV shows from the internet. Thanks in advance 🙂
