Computer - TV using S-Video - Image Distorted - Ideas?
494366
I have my computer connected to my tv using a GeForce fx 5500 video card through an s-video cable.  I just right click the desktop screen, click "NVIDIA Analog Display" (my video card settings), then I goto "Display Mode" and do "Clone" instead of single display and then put tv instead of Analog display(monitor) and apply.  \n\nSorry if it sounds confusing.

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 you want to show what's on your computer on your tv screen, you need to have a s-video outlet on your computer and tv.

In general the video card will not recognise a TV attached to a s-video port unless it is hooked up and powered on when the machine is booted.  The NVIDIA video card should recognise and enable the s-video output then.

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 can try Xilisoft Video Convertor

Be aware that because of the different systems used between computer monitors and televisions, you will likely get a VERY low resolution in the television and everything will be blurry.\n\nThe TV should have tri-prong A/V input (white, red, yellow), you can get an adapter to run the digital monitor  cable from your computer into a tri-prong A/V cable, and that should work..

You may have to tell the software driver to switch from the composite input to the SVHS (s-video) input..\nUnfortunately you didn't say what A/V to USB converter you are using.

Depending on the video card, you may not have any settings for it. If you do, on the desktop right click >> Properties >> Settings >> Advanced ... in they would be there.\n\nTo get the S Video output to work, (on a laptop) click Fn+F7 or Fn+F8 (usually). You should see an Fn (function button - usually blue text on it) and one of the F buttons may say CRT/LCD.  Press those two and the video output should switch to S.

Usually the CRT/LCD option on a laptop isn't regulated by windows though. hmm.. I'm pretty sure if your laptop has an S-Video out, it also has an SVGA out which you can just plug a normal monitor to it and use the CRT/LCD function on your laptop without problems.

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.

What is it you are trying to do?  See the computer screen on your TV?  What's the point of that?  The resolution on a TV is crap compared to a computer monitor, so whatever you look at is going to look terrible. \n\nYou do have to run the audio out of your sound card to the input of the TV in order to hear the sound.  Or, you could just turn up your PC speakers. \n\nGood Luck~ \n\nCheers!
