Hey there,
I am certainly a newbie to this but here's my dilemma.
I bought the MLB.TV package on MLB.com, which allows me to watch baseball games on my laptop. I have a strong connection and they run fairly smoothly. Here's my issue. I have a fairly small screen, apx. 13 inches on my Sony Vaio SZ series laptop, running Windows Vista Business. I have a very nice, 30 inch television that I would love to hook my laptop up to. This would enable me to watch my baseball games on my television, through the streaming MLB.TV.
But, my laptop has no S-Video slots. So, I can't just hook up an S-Video cable. I also found that my TV does not have a VGA spot. It's got the red, yellow, white cable slots (RCA I believe?) and an S-Video spot. Is there anything I can do?
The TV is a Memorex, fairly old, but it's got a good screen. I can't afford a brand new TV with the VGA spot. I looked into getting the VGA to RCA/S-video cords but I hear that isn't enough. I need some sort of adapter for my video card? Ugh, I have no idea. I'm not sure what my video card is. Whatever comes standard with the SZ laptop. It has two, an integrated one and I THINK an NVidia one.
Can I do anything?

I saw this component in another thread.

Would that work for me? -
I also found this product on ebay:

It's cheaper with free shipping. Would something like that work? -

Input VGA Resolution 640x480 @ 60/ 72/ 75/ 85Hz , 800x600 @ 60/ 75Hz, 1024x768 @ 60/ 75Hz
