Computer to TV

[Will Wood]

Ok I know nothing about anything to do with this. However I think I have the nessessary stuff to do it, if its possible.
I have this thing that will plug into the back of my computer
I have a video cable.
And I have options that shows a TV

Now how do I do it?

Thanks in advance!

[Will Wood]

Hmm I just managed to get my Computer to go to the TV.. can't figure out vice versa

So you are trying to watch TV on the computer screen? You would need a video card designed for that. What you have is a means to display your computer screen on a TV. I noticed this is a laptop. This function is used a lot of times for presentations on large screen (non computer) projectors.

[Will Wood]

Yup, TV on computer. I think my video card can do it...

[Cougar]

Nope. You can tunnel the cable through your t.v. to your computer if you have an s-video jack on both. You can't however, directly connect the cable to your computer.

[Will Wood]

Aww...

And putting the computer on the TV made me realize how crappy a TV's resolution is heh.

Well thanks anyways.

[Muzikman]

Yes, the resolution on a TV sucks. But it works for TV signals.

ATI's "All in Wonder" card will allow you to watch TV on your computer. I am about to get one too.

[Will Wood]

Any way that will work on my laptop?
And jeez.. my driver has "Pro"' and "Turbo" in it yet it won't allow me to watch TV? WTF is up with that?

Avermedia makes a usb device that allows you to watch tv on a laptop
