Here is the correct answer for you (I had that problem too).\nYOUR CABLE IS THE WRONG TYPE (Is not for output but for input). Go to a Computer shop (take the laptop with you) and probe the cable b4 you buy a new one.\n\nIf you are not scared to cut the cable and you know how to solder it back, then you can do that. Try swapping the wires inside your cable (be aware that there can be more then three there). Anyway you only need two of them. One is for ground and the other one is for video signal. You can try to put together different wires until it works (two by two). THERE IS NO PROBLEM BY DOING THAT. YOU WILL NOT DAMAGE YOUR LAPTOP NOR THE TV. Guaranteed!\n\nATTENTION! DO NOT connect two wires on the same end of the cable! This CAN damage your computer! Always connect wires from the two different parts of the (cut) cable.\n\nBy the way: there are two types of S-video connectors:\nwith 4 and with 7 pins.\n\nCheers!

Red is right. To connect cable to your pc you will need to buy a TV tuner. Because you have a laptop you need to buy either a PCMCIA or USB TV Tuner. A PCI one will not work for you. You can go to your local Best Buy,CompUSA or?????\nany other local pc store to buy one. They go for less than $150.00 I recommend the USB TV Tuner, just because it is USB so you can connect it on any desktop that has USB too.\nWhich nowadays more than 90% all do.

Buy a TV Tuner Card and have it installed, then you can run your cable line to your computer, and viola you can watch TV, whatever channel you want.

You need an s-video cable. Must have the connections on the tv and the comp. Run the sound out of the headphone jack. Good luck.

You need a S-Video to composite cable, assuming you have the yellow white and red inputs on your tv.  You're going to change that you're using a composite cable and not an S-Video cable in your drivers or else it will be black and white or it'll be all pink and weird depending on the laptop and the graphics card.  If you need anymore information feel free to email me.\n\nP.S.

you can get tv tuners for laptops or computers already - they've veen around for a couple years already.  i was using pc-tv back in '99.  see here for an example that would work w/laptops:  http://www.aver.com/products/Datasheet/AVerMediaAVerTVCardBus_DS.pdf#search='watch%20tv%20on%20your%20laptop%20computer'

While connected to tv right-click desktop, go to properties, click the settings tab and fool around with the resolution and decide the best setting.  other than that all i can tell you is that unless you have a fantastic tv it won't look as good as the laptop's screen.

youll need a device, variously called a media player, which acts like a pipe between your wireless network and your tv.\nsee the following link for a page full of these devices sold by tigerdirect:\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=197&

Hunh?\n\nThe best way to hook your TV to a computer is with a TV Card (usually PCI, but PCIe and AGP are available.)  There are USB setups available also.  Some video cards include a TV out, also.\n\nYou will also need a TV tuner program, if you hook the cable in.

you need :\n\na S-video-out port on the Sony-viao\na S-video cable\nto know what channel your TV's alternate input, a/v input, (it is likely the same channel you use to play DVD's on your TV, assuming you can and do.)\nAnd last Windows XP\n\n1. With the Laptop off, plug S-video cable in, turn on TV.\n\n2. Turn-on Laptop, when at desktop, and all programs are loaded.\n\n3. right-click on the desktop, choose 'properties', when the 'Display Properties' window opens.\n\n4. Click the 'settings' tab.  You should see 2 monitors.\nMake sure your Laptop monitor is #1 and on the left of the TV, if not, then click it and drag it to the left.\n\n5. Click the down-arrow, choose the TV monitor, Clear the check-box for 'extend my windows desktop to this monitor' if not already clear.  This will make your TV display the same thing as your laptop.\n\n6. click the down-arrow, choose the laptop monitor, check 'set as primary monitor'\n\nclick 'ok', and 'ok' again.\n\nHope this helps !

You need to have a tv tuner card in your computer.  You can buy them at places like Best Buy, CompUSA, etc. It doesn't come standard on computers, unless you have a media center edition that comes with it.

You have to connect it using a cable that has RCA plugs at one end and a male headphone jack plug at the other and connect the RCA plugs to your TV's "audio in" jacks and the other end to your computer's "headphone" or "speaker" jack.

Unfortunately you can't.\nThe video-outs you have are the only ones you can use, so you are limited to the laptop monitor and one external is you have a VGA or S-video output.

these answers that suggest of using a USB to USB Datalink Cable are in principle correct but it doesn't work because you can neither share the folders nor install the communication program on the PC for this Link Cable. did you ever try to do this blindly? .. :p\nso it might be the better solution to hook the TV set to the PC using a S-video cable, provided that the PC has an S-video output and the TV set has the corresponding input.
