    You usually start by plugging in the cable :D
    Svideo assuming your TV and Video card have a connector.
    Feck all else to do except set the PC to output to TV.

    i tried to do this with an old lappie and it comes out all distorted and only half the size of the screen.think its just the laptop tbh..

    but its handy enough just check if u have an s-video connection on the back of the pc (the port for it should be around where the monitor plugs in)

    I got a 10 metre s-video and red and white phono cable off www.dabs.ie for €22 shipped

    Unless you give us details we can't help you properly. The control panel for your graphics's card is where you setup the multiple display, a TV is treated like a second monitor once the cable link has been made.
