Looks interesting - an inspirational channel of streaming films, yoga classes and even various series on topics: http://gaiamtv.com.

First question - can I use my new Windows 8 laptop to view streams from this site? Of course, the technology is the first question!! So sent email to the Gaiam site's Chat - reply received next day and Yes my laptop meets minimum requirements.

Next question - I know my tv and my laptop have HDMI ports. My DVD player already uses the tv HDMI port. Is there a way to add another HDMI device to the tv? Again, Yes! HDMI switches! Now to find the right one. Defining "right" - cost and best functionality.
