    During our cocktail hour, we would like to project the Kentucky Derby on the wall. (getting married a year from today, on Derby Day, dad's a racehorse trainer, lots of 'horse people' will be there). I think it'll be perfect timing during our cocktail hour.

     But.... is this possible? I'm thinking I could rent a projector, but does anyone know if it could be hooked to the TV in some way?? 

     

    Thanks in advance, bees.

    It can.  A friend of mine actually has a projector in his house instead of a regular TV.  I don't know how it works, but I imagine an A/V technician in your area could do it.

    As long as your TV has a VGA port, you can hook up a projector!

    And for more clarification:

    It's the same thing you'd use to hook up your laptop to a projector. Newer TVs should have this output option (our new one does), but I'd make sure you double check. I have a friend who also does the projector setup for TV...I believe in that case, the cable box is hooked up to the projector directly. Anyway, hope this helps =)!

    Yes this is very possible -- read the posts above mine.  I do this in my classroom all the time.
