Do you have Video Out on your graphics card ? If so, s-video, or composite using the supplied adapter. If not, you will have to get a VGA to composite convertor.

I believe the most common way is to get a video card that supports TV out - either that or if your TV has VGA in, you might be in luck. I don't know if a VGA to RCA/S-Video/Coax exists and/or will work.

Standard S-Video Cable. Of course, your TV receiver must have an S-Video Input for this to work.

sending the signal to the TV is going to open a whole other world of computing for you. Once you start running into your problems you may want to visit www.htpcnews.com to get answers to more problems.

Media Center PC's are great though.

hi, it may be a bit to much to ask but im afraid of ordering the wrong cable, could someone find a link to any website with the cable on it and with a picture so i know what im looking for, all i can find is 4-pin cables

I'd suggest (although I have no clue about the UK) that this one should do the trick:



from: http://www.tvcables.co.uk/cgi-bin/tvcables/PGV673.html?id=xac8gvc3

It was as easy as going to google.co.uk and searching for "s-video to scart cable".
