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.

I am using a VHS video recorder connected to a PCI TV-Tuner and a proper software, with DVD-RW and you can go\n\nXLMan

You can do this.  I have a computer with a TV card, too.  Look for the video and sound inputs (should be white, yellow and red).  And in your media center there should be a option to play that input device.  If you want to just connect your PS2 to your monitor you have to buy a VGA box.  Here's an example:

the s-video jack (out) of pc go to the s-video jack (in) on the tv (for display) and the rca jacks of pc goes to rca jack in of tv (audio). then find which port you used in the tv. if still no picture go to display setting of pc select tv or both for display this should fix it

Get one of those usb tv reception devices.  They tend to allow composite video also.  Then you can hook the PS2 into the video/audio in and play away.

The VGA ports are output only.

S-Video is video only, not audio.\n\nAurelius has it down.\n\nGet the adapter he mentioned and plug it into the head-phone jack on your laptop. Run the other end into the RCA audio input jack on your TV.\n\nThat's basically how I do it.\n\nIf you still want to have an available head-phone jack, you can buy a splitter and plug his adapter into the splitter.

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.

u need a S-Video card in you comp and a S-Video wire capable TV set. just turn on the comp with a regular monitor install necessary drivers for the card then plug in the wire to the card and TV. some graphics card do have a S-Video port on them, one of them is a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 which cost around $95-$120 and the wire is about $20 for 8-10 feet (both of which are available at your local Best Buy) ,but if you want extreme comp to TV get a PCI Express card for maximum Input/Output

I am sure you have discovered that the newer laptops do not include a serial port.  So, you might try a PCMCIA card that provides a serial port for $129.  \n\nhttp://www.quatech.com/catalog/rs232_pcmcia.php

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

hey , i had this prob too, download the divX player, it'll tell you what codec is needed and is a better player than windows, then head over to download dot com and look up audio or video codec as needed and you should be sorted.
