computer to tv

I had a thread but can't find it again.

I have a msn web tv setup. Its the latest one from msn. I wanted to try to use it as a converter to play movies from my comp to my tv. Soooo i got a NVidia GeForce fx 5500 graphics card. It has SVideo out put and also a monitor connection that has a svideo connection and a yellow (i think video ) connector along with a ethernet connection. I thought maybe if i hooked up the svideo it would play on the tv...not so...my tv has no svideo connection. So back to the converter..the msn web tv...i then discovered that i could play these videos through the web tv by pluging in a ethernet connection. The problem with this is msn web tv will not support avi files..but does support MPEG1...so i have to convert everything to MPEG1...plus you have to select the video from web tv. well if anyone can make sense of this mess i would be gratefull.

Your video card should be able to display on TV whatever shows on your computer monitor either through RCA yellow plug or sVideo , you also need sound from your sound card. TV portion of it may have to be activated through screen properties ( right click on desktop> left on properties> settings> display etc. ). Your TV must be switched to monitor also. if you plug both svideo and RCA at the same time may not work atleast sVideo portion of it.

but my tv does not have a svideo connector...that is why i am going through the web tv. no matter what i plug in if i don't have the ethernet connection it will not play a video...maybe it won't work through the web tv setup???
