If you're trying to play video, as in DVD video or streaming video off of a web site, chances are you can't. Hollywood types are paranoid that you're going to steal their movies if you're allowed to watch DVD's on your TV using your notebook, so they forced video card makers to disable this feature.\n\nYou can tell if your video card is one of the Hollywood crippled cards because everything else works, but there's a black box where the video is suppose to be.\n\nIf you think that this situation is ridiculous, and that you should be legally allowed to watch DVD's on your TV using your notebook, join the Electronic Frontier Foundation. They're fighting for our digital rights all the time.

well if you still have a beta player that works, you can use window media player 10 or you can get some coverters from like newegg.com that will allow you to connect the beta to the pc....other then that  betas are long gone unless you look on e-bay for a player. Good Luck though.

you can do it quite easily via a wireless VGA pc to tv converter. It is plug&play. I bought one from www.pctotvconverter.com

You can install a standalone such as VLC or mplayer.  Or, you can grab a codec pack such as http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Codec_Pack_All_in_1.htm

It would be more useful if you listed the model of your laptop, or what kind of connections it has.\n\nMost laptops nowadays have S-video out, so that would be the easiest if you have that.  As for sound, you would just plug some speakers into your headphone jack.\n\nIf your laptop doesn't have S-video, you could always get something like this as well:\n\nhttp://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=GXP-2000-PB&cpc=SCH\n\nThat will take your VGA signal and convert it to RCA so you can hook it up to your TV.

Either get a television card for your computer of an HP DVD writer with RCA inputs. In either case you can hook a vcr to your PC by Coaxial or RCA cables. I've done both.

you need a tv capture card and a cable tv connection, most laptop does not have the tv capture card, so unless you have a dvi socket on your laptop and use a newer digital video player as the interface, there is a slim change that you can watch tv on it.

1. Connect the S-Video cable on both laptop and TV in any order (first or second is irrelevant)!..\n\n2. Find the icon which belongs to your video card in your computer (mine is ATI), make right click on it. Then follow to  "settings" tab, and then left click on the "display settings tab".\n\n3. On the "multiple monitors" "pop out window" click on the "display" tab and then press on the TV button!..\n\nAt the end of this step you have to be able to see your computer desktop on your TV!...Your TV has to be in a specific channel (mine works on the 00 channel which is were I get the signal. -For some TVs might work on 3 or 4, or maybe you have to find it and surf all available channels in your TV-)!...\n\nIf your whole desktop or the whole full screen of your movie can't be seen on your TV, then you need to right click on your desktop and click on "properties", and on the "Display properties" tab adjust the resolution (mine works on the 1024x768 pixels - My TV is a 27 inch-)!...\n\nGood Luck!...
