Your PC already uses one HDMI cable for the monitor. Run a second cable from the PC to the TV. Measure from the TV’s HDMI input, along the floor, to the PC with a retractable tape measure — then buy that length. Most living rooms land on 5, 10, or 15 meters. To keep it clean, press the cable into thin double-sided tape along the wall or skirting. You can find that tape almost anywhere.
Tip. Measure twice. A cable that is one meter short is the only kind you will notice every evening.
Playing in a different room than the PC? Bluetooth often drops at that distance. Put a Bluetooth adapter near the TV and connect it back to the PC with a USB extension cable, so the controller talks to a radio that is actually in the living room.
Tip. Park the adapter where you sit, not where the tower lives.
The Companion lets you drive the PC with a controller after you power it on — including the Windows sign-in screen, so you can enter your PIN or password from the couch.
Walk to the TV and switch it to the HDMI input your PC uses. If you already set up a Jump Screen, jump there with the controller. One combo moves you to the TV. The other jumps and turns the desk monitor off.
