Pick up a TV tuner card.  They're not too expensive.  Search http://newegg.com or another computer hardware store.  There are also USB TV tuners.  Look around online, you'll find something.

If the PC has a TV card installed with S-video port then this is no problem. If not then connect via coax like mine.\nI have a freeview box connected to mine.\nJust change channels on the freeview but watch on the PC.

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 !

I suggest you get a 256 mb graphic card and make sure the hdtv has a dvi output. If it doesn't your dead.

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.

Hi! I don´t think you can do it, unless you have a video input  in your laptop. Anyway It would be dfficult.\n Maybe you could do it separating your laptop display from the mainboard and build an interface between your display and a VGA connector (to attach it to your desktop PC).\n\n If you success with your project, please share your experiences with me.

If the laptop will start then you have at least two options.\n\nThe first option is to use an external monitor.  Connect the monitor to the back of the laptop before powering it on.  The laptop should automatically detect the monitor.  If not then there may be a special key combination to make it work.  For example, on my HP laptop it is function-F4.\n\nThe other option is to use remote access software like Windows Remote Desktop Sharing.  Follow the link below for instructions on how to configure it remotely.\n\nHope this helps.

There should be a keyboard combination keys (Fn plus something) to switch between display devices on every laptop.\n\nCheck out a BLUE display symbol in your keyboard

you need to have a device (converter) which instead of using your monitor to watch a movie for example, you can have it on your TV. Try to view the source link please for more info.

2 things you need to check:\n\n#1 go to video settings and make sure the tv out option is off.\n\n#2 make sure the video is the right format (mpeg4) \n\ngood luck

Once you hook up the s-video cable (this will only carry video info...if you need audio you will have to use a mini-headphone jack to RCA adapter) you will hit your "Fn" button and whichever "F" key has a logo of a screen next to a normal screen.\n\nFor my IBM it is the F7 key, some Dells it is F4, you should be able to figure it out from the icon on the key. \n\nAlso if you want to have the laptop screen and the TV going at the same time, you will have to set the primary display by right clicking on the desktop and going to properties.  When this window opens go to settings and double click on the "screen" which will take you to multiple settings including setting the "primary."  This is also the screen where you can adjust the resolution for each display.\n\nGood luck!\n\nMikeC
