Is it possible to connect this computer to a conventional television/projector in order to watch facilities such as BBC iPlayer, ITV catchup etc. There does not appear to be a VGA port visible to enable this function. Bruce

Unfortunately it is not possible. There is no Video Out facility - presumably the logic is that an 'All-In-One' computer is designed to be static and to display all output on its own screen.

That said, you can buy converter boxes to allow video output via USB. I don't know how good they are. Something like this one: -

Thanks for your time, I guessed as much, I shall try the product you suggest - seems a relatively low cost solution. Bruce.
