How can I enable my grandparents to view digital photos on TV without a computer?

Web TV acts like a PC in some ways but has real problems dealing with a lot of the dynamic content found in sites such as photo-sharing sites.  Plus, she will still have to connect to the internet and navigate to the specific site just as you would if you were on a PC.\nReally, you'd be better off creating a DVD slide show for her and sending her it in the mail if you are too far away.

The first think you'll need is a tv-tuner card. use that to connect ur vcr to the computer. then record the stuff on the vcr to any electronic format that you wish to do. then share it with anyone on the web

There is a program called Streambox that will do this, but it is no longer sold and may or may not be legal to use.\n\nAlso see http://www.videohelp.com/tools?s=39

The digital camera probably connects to the computer via a USB port.  If the laptop doesn't have a usb port you need to get a PCMCIA card that can provide it.  It would help if you posted the model of the laptop.\n\nIt's also possible that the camera you have (or plan on getting) doesn't support Windows 98.  \n\nStrictly speaking there's little difference in compatibilty of a desktop and a laptop from the same era.

Well, if you just want your family to be able to view the pictures, then there are several sites.\n\nI'm partial to SnapFish (http://www.snapfish.com ), but others like Kodak EasyShare (http://www.koadakeasyshare.com ) and Shutterfly (http://www.shutterfly.com ). All of these sites will host all (unlimited) your pictures for family viewing, but they don't give you access to the hi-res originals. They look good, but they aren't print resolution.\n\nNow, it isn't free, but the paid version of Flickr (http://www.flickr.com ) allows unlimited photo hosting and 2GB of photos a month upload. You can download the hi-res originals too, without ads (and so can your family). Finally, it's only $25 a year- my photo collection is 30gb from 5 years, so the upload should be adequate to share your entire collection.\n\nHope this helps!

You would need to purchase something called a TV Tuner Card.  Some of them come with remote controls and decent ones usually cost, at most, about $30.  If you have a laptop or you don't have an available PCI slot to install it, you can get external USB TV Tuner Cards, as well.\n\nSome graphics cards come with NTSC and Digital tuners built in.  You do not necessarily need to replace the entire graphics card.  \n\nHere's a cheap internal PCI one with a remote\n\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1698860&CatId=1427\n\nHere is an external.  They are generally more expensive.\n\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1961041&CatId=0

There is various software you can run on XP Home that will allow you to utilize the MCE Remote. Checkout out SageTv http://www.sagetv.com , BeyondTV http://www.snapstream.com , and MediaPortal http://mediaportal.sourceforge.net

You could get a TV Capture card. They are anywhere from $30 on up. The webcam would be an input device and you just hit the record button on the software to record. TV Capture cards can also record TV and VHS if you have the right inputs, very nice to have!\nA great software to caputure video is Active Webcam\nhttp://www.pysoft.com/ActiveWebCamMainpage.htm

Actually you can do this with Microsoft Media Encoder which is free (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/9series/encoder/default.aspx)\n\nI do this all the time -- stream video to my Pocket PC so I can watch stuff all over the house (like the, um, reading room for example)

TIN FOIL!!\n\nSorry, couldn't resist. Seriously though, there isn't any direct way. The best thing you could do is probably some setup with a web cam.
