    my dv7 has no tv tuner.
    but i have an hd-pvr for my hdtv.
    i just unplugged the hdmi going to the tv from the hd-pvr box and connected it to my laptop instead via hdmi as well.
    now how can i make the laptop show the tv display.
    i just want it to act like my hdtv.

    Hm... the only way I know how to make a laptop work like a TV is to have a TV Tuner going from a TV Jack (or a satelite box) to the laptop...
