Well, not quite - but with the addition of a small bit of gear we can watch our Zune videos on TV! And because we can port our videos with us (via Zune) when we travel, we can set ourselves up to watch the videos we want to watch - wherever we go. So no more watching TV shows in foreign (to me) languages when I travel! As you can see below, the equipment needed so that we can watch our own videos through

the Zune is light and small - so easy to include in a backpack. And - yeah, I know what your thinking - who wants to watch TV while their backpacking? Well …. me for one! My month backpacking round Italy was fantastic - but yeah, I occasionally ended up in a hotel that had TV and believe me I was happy to zone out watching TV for a while - or would have been if I could have understood Italian!

Its a simple matter of plugging the cables in to the TV and lying back, using the remote controller (Oh yeah) and watching the movies we want - rather than the ones the hotel limits us to. But if you feel the need to get more guidance on the technical details, you can get them from Gadling - along with some interesting  advice on how to “deal with” those TVs that have chastity belts attached.
