Output to TV?

[techguy]

Can I get some suggestions on the cheapest way to get output to a TV from a PC?

I have a WinTV PVR2 that works fine, but I can only watch things on the computer. I would love to get video to output to my TV so I can watch things on a bigger screen you know.

A lot of <$100 video cards have S-video out these days, however that being said, you get what you pay for! You could spend ~$60-100 and get an MVP and use that as your GBPVR -> TV interface..

can you tell us what is in your system? that would help a bit when trying to figure out what to tell you to do to get TV out working

yes, just get a cheap video card with tv-out...

I have an old pci geforce-4 and it works perfectly with vmr7.

Also depends on what inputs your TV has. If you're old school and only have coax or composite, you'll need to look into an RF Modulator as well as a video card that has the SVideo or Composite outputs. If you've got a new TV with Component, HDMI-HDCP, DVI or VGA inputs, you have quite a few (all better) options.

I use the VGA input, it's easiest, no fussing with signal scan issues. You just hook it up like a PC monitor, set the correct resolution (like you would for any other monitor) and voila....

I use s-video, card cost less than £20. It also has DVI output for plugging into a TV with DVI input. HDMI is basically DVI with audio built in which many HD tv's have.
