The S-video connection just allows you to connect your outgoing video to your tv thats it. To watch tv on your monitor you need a video cable-card/tuner basically a new video card. Most of the newer cable/tuner cards give your computer DVR funtions also so you can use it like Tivo.

your thinking the opposite way.. the video card outputs video. so in that case, if you put a connection from that to your tv, that would act as your monitor. You would have to have a tv tuner to watch tv, and that has a cable input not a s-video input.

Depends on your TV.
If your TV is capable of S-video signal, just use a cable and hook them. Than using preferences of your video card. Enable TV signal. You are set to go.
If you TV is not capable of showing S video signal, get a converter from the link below.

you need an adapter that will convert a F connector (used to terminate coaxial cable) to S-video
some cards use S-video for output others for input along with a coaxial input...all depends
