I don't have cable so am starting to watch stuff through my MBP using apple's adapter to go to my tv.

However when I send it over to my tv I can't use my computer. Is there anyway around this?

Are there other options if I want to put content onto my tv through the internet, while having access to my computer? Either by using my mac..or getting another device?
