If you have a Laptop, it's very simple, all you should need is and S-Video wire and hook it straight up, if you have a desktop, I'm still trying to figure that out but I think you need extra equipment like a converter or something. Also you can add a tv tuner an hook up an S-Video I THINK
Hope this helps

you ahve several options here, depepnding on your video card and tv.
if your video card has a normal VGA or DVI connector,
1. buy a VGA-to-RCA or DVI-to-RCA converter and connect it to the RCA connector on your tv. this is the yellow connector that you hook up things like video game consoles to.
2. if your tv has an S-video input on it, buy a VGA-to-SVideo or DVI-to-SVideo converter and just plug the S-video into the tv.
if your video card features an s-video output,
1. if your tv has an s-video input, just buy an s-video cable and attach it from your computer to your tv.
2. otherwise, buy an s-video-to-RCA converter. radioshack sells these for $20.
one problem that you will notice when your desktop is on your tv is that you cant go above 800x600 resolution. otherwise, everything turns blurry and you cant read anything (movies are still fine). this isnt the case with HDTV, however. im sure they can go up to 1024x768 at least.
sorry i coudlnt be more help!

i think the only way is if u have or install a video card with s video connection. then just buy an s video cable. if your tv is newer it should have an s vid connector then u just need 1 on the pc!

Burn a DVD in a DVD Burner and it should become playable on most DVD players.
