How to stream Lehigh and other Patriot League games to your TV

Options for streaming Lehigh and other Patriot League athletics contests to your television
  • All broadcasts can be viewed on any web browser by going to the Patriot League Network at www.lehighsports.com/PLN
  • For the most optimal streaming experience, we recommend using the fastest non-shared Internet connection available, ideally a wired Internet connection. Streaming can be done over wifi (wireless Internet), but multiple users on the same wifi network will significantly degrade the steaming quality.

1. Use a Smart TV's web browser
  1. Open the "Apps" or "Widgets" screen on your Smart TV
  2. Open the web browser app (Note: Not every smart tv includes a web browser)
  3. Navigate to the Patriot League Network at www.lehighsports.com/PLN

2. Connect laptop to TV
For step by step instructions (with pictures) on how to connect a laptop to a TV using different types of connectors, we recommend http://www.wikihow.com/Hook-Up-a-Laptop-to-a-TV. The basic steps are outlined below:
  1. Turn your laptop and TV on.
  2. Connect your video cable (usually HDMI or DisplayPort*) to both your TV and laptop. Note: If you use DisplayPort, you'll probably need to use a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter as many TVs don't have a DisplayPort input.
  3. Select the correct input on your TV (usually by pressing the AV or Source button on your TV remote).
  4. If your laptop does not output its screen to the TV, go to Control Panel > Display > Adjust Resolution and select the TV in the Display drop down box.

  3. Plug your projector into an electrical outlet and press the "power" button to turn it ON.
  4. Turn on your laptop.
  5. If you need audio for your presentation, connect the laptop's "audio out" port to the projector, or to another sound system.
