It stands for super video.  It's the same as a Y/C connector.  It's like an RCA video connector except it's supposed to be better because the black and white part of the picture is separate from the color part of the picture.  Either your laptop is designed to get S-video in so it can record video or send S-video out so you can use a television as a computer screen.

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.

go to dell.com and then go to support & help/ drivers & downloads and download the video driver for your laptop

I don't think so ususally laptops do not have video inputs, so all you can display on the laptop screen is the laptop output. Sorry!

First, check your video card.  Many cards have TV-out that allow you to plug a composite video cable or an S-video cable into it and then you can hook that directly into your TV.\n\nIf your card doesn't have TV out, you'll need a VGA to Composite converter.  You should be able to pick one of those up from Radio Shack or eBay.

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.

If the TV has an S-video cable connector, connect an S-video cable from the TV to the computers TV-out S-video connector.\nIf the TV has only a composite video cable connector, plug a composite TV-out adapter cable into the TV-out S-video connector on the computer. Connect the other end of the cable to the TV's composite video connector.\n\nDon't connect it to the antenna input of the TV !!!!

Use s-video, better picture.\n\nTo hook it up, connect the s-video cable to the s-video port on your laptop. Then the cable to the s-video port on your tv.\n\nUsually you push funtion + f3 or f4 I think to allow the laptop to display on laptop screen, external moniter or both.\n\nTurn the tv channel to AV1 or whatever you plugged it into. It should work.

add a PCI/AGP graphic card that has TV out port (S-Video), or maybe RCA adapters

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.

Assuming your laptop doesn't have a VGA port on the back of it, there are PCMCIA video cards you can try one is the VTBook, http://sewelldirect.com/vtbookpcmciacard.asp?source=froogle but I would be surprised if your laptop did not have a VGA port on it somewhere.

start a direct video connection.. and see which ports are open to what IP addresses! (i've done it... but it is messy)

Yeah, exactly, you want to get a graphics card with TV-out. As you probably guessed this means it will send the signal out to the TV. It will most likely use a yellow S-Video cable, and you will need to buy a cable that will come from your sound card with the red and white (or black) audio channels. If your TV doesn't accept S-Video then you should be able to pick up an S-Video to Scart adapter for about $5.

yes - either an external USB tuner, or an internal PCI tuner - OR a PCMCIA TV tuner for a laptop - or some AGP video cards in desktops have TV tuners built in - either way - you need the hardware to view video signals on your PC

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.

(Do you mean the MS-6714 - a Microstar International product?)  Presumably you do, and the answer is no.  Sorry.  You'll need a video card with a dedicated TV-out for this purpose.\n\nAm I right in thinking your computer is a branded machine from one of the major vendors (like Hewlett Packard, Dell or Compaq)?\nIf this is the case, the chances are that you don't already have a dedicated video card already in your machine.  But you can pick up a cheap nVidia card with TV-out for under £50 these days.  This will allow you to treat your television as a second monitor and even extend your desktop onto it.

you would most likely need a 'tv tuner' card\nhowever i am not sure if laptops are capable of the same 'quality' as hdtv\n\nsee the sources below for some ideas on what is available out there
