I've heard something about wireless hookup to your TV.
Or I could put it on a DVD if I could figure how.

Does my question make any sense? Can anyone give me a
helping hand?

Your questions make sense, but the answers (as reliable for you) will
depend on whether you're using an Apple or ms-Windows or Linux (or
other operating system) configured computer and software and on how
comparatively recent the computer/software is.

Generally speaking, for the ordinary user, otoh, wireless isn't quite
ready for prime time, although, otoh, almost all the newer machines
either have - or easily can have - a these days comparatively
inexpensive modular video card with TV output as, meanwhile, all of
the newest manufactured TVs (generally, not older ones) have S-video
or other simple to plug-in wired means of displaying computer
generated pictures.

The answer to your, "Could [you] put it on a DVD [or not]"? question
also will depend on what computer/software combination you're using
and the particular source the streaming or other video programming to
which you refer. But if your question refers to the sorts of video
one can find on YouTube and on an increasing number of other web sites
(e.g., various web sites maintained by TV news channels and other news
sources, many entertainment-related web sites, etc.), GoTo comments
above re. (these days usually comparatively very easy) plug-in
video-out to video-in alternative.
