Ahmad89 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Well about 1 week ago i bought my new pc and the features it had were pretty good. The only bad thing was it didnt have an S-video input/output. i look at this weeks advertisment and it should the same pc but a little faster and a "TV tuner, personal video recorder and media center remote" for the same price. Now my issue is not recording stuff on my tv screen or watching stuff on my pc (as i dont have cable, damn college life and living on loans) but connecting my pc to the tv and watch/play stuff on my tv. Does anybody know if that's possible. PS: I am going to return it in two days but i wanted to ask b/c the people their are dumber then a potatoe.

BlackKnight Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 You can easily watch and play stuff on your TV from your computer. All you need is a video card that has a TV-out port. Find out if your one has one before you return it at least- most cards do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmad89 Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 No, my computer doesnt and i already knew it didnt but i had to pay about an extra 200$ just for some more memory i dont need and the tv tuner with PVR which i think wasnt worth it. But since now i know it is the same price i am going to return it. But it will work both way right----from pc to tv/tv to pc. Because my laptop had an s-video and i was able to watch stuff on my tv but it was blury. Is that because of my laptop or my tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 You can upgrade the graphics card or buy a cheap PCI video card that has svid out. Or ask the computer department at your school for them, they should have at least a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawrthness Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 all i did was get my new radeon card and it had the plugin for it... also came with a good quality S-video cable and sound cables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmad89 Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 Sorry to bring up the subjest again but giving it on last shot.I was looking at my old laptop and it had a s-video out. Know is thier a way that i can hook it up onto my knew computer. I am not sure how this works but from my understanding the s-video is connected to my video card (which by the way is a ati). If i remove it and attach it to my new pc can i still use my new video card (which is an nvidia) while the old one is still attached. By that i mean two video cards in one computer one which is thier for EVERYTHING and the other just for the s-video out. If that is not the case that the s-video is connected to the video card, then can i remove it and attach it to my new pc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
