you would need a card with tv in or a tv tuner card .

thats a video out, its simple how it works plug it to your t.v and see how it works

yea...normally on the back of a tv (enless its old) theres a red, white, and yellow set of wire hole thingsies...you want to put it under tv-in on yellow...if you don't have one of those yellow ports i dont think it will work...because you ahve to be able to change input mdes on your remote

no there will be no need for that, it's an s-video not a/v plug-in

GKort · May 31st, 2003

ya, as zerocopy said, its an S-Video

lil info: theres S-Video (4 small metal pins and 1 black peg thing, kkinda looksl ike ps2; your modern mouse/keyboard

and theres R-Video, yoru cohax cable like your antenna, or between yoru VCR and TV

and finally theres the consoles and steroes RCA. RCA looks a bit like the nameless computer thing, only its a bit fatter, has red/white/yellow plugs

my GeForce4 MX440se w/TV-out is S-Video, THE ONE THING I HAVE NO PLUG IN FOR!!!!!!! ...i hate commies...i wish it was rca but what the hell...thanks for the posts guys

well if you look around, you can probably find s-video->rca converter jacks for cheap. try www.newegg.com but i'm not sure if they are on there.

they run for around $20 (at least thats how much mine was) and most TV's have an S-Vid port in the back.

btw, if you are to use tv-out, don't use composite out. go for svid
