    How do I hook up my computer to my tv? I ran a s-video cable from the pc to the tv but the tv (its a Tevion) only seems to have two inputs av-1 and av-2 no s-video the ports there just can't access it. Any ideas?

    There are two aspects of connecting a TV to your computer.

    You can get an adapter from many place, I think Radio Shack has them. I have several I've gotten with various hardware over the years.

    You are also going to have to turn on your TV out in your computer software. How this is done depends entirely on your hardware, but you'll have to look it up.

    You might give more information as to make/model of the computer, and the video card (I'm assuming the card has the TV out feature).

    Radio Shack had an S-Video to RCA connector/converter a few years back, around 20 dollars. Used it for a while then gave it up due to picture quality on the internet, viewing photographs and WMP visualizations was about it. Todays televisions have VGA, DVI and HDMI connections as well, if your video card has them your in business.
