The only way it you can watch pc images on your tv is if you have already plugged in the svideo cable before you switch on your computer.
If the pc is already on you wont get a signal.

It all depends on your video card. I have the GeForce4 4600 with TV out, I had to clone my display to the TV following the instructions that are part of my video card.

There are a few things you need to insure are done correctly. First off you have to plug in your S video cable to your PC while it is on then perform the set up, if you do not do this it will not work.

I'm using svideo to scart and my pc dvd player works fine on the video channel. If your tv is scart its probably a couple of years old like mine. I didn't have to set up anything, it just plugs right in.

i havent got a clue but id presume youd have to set something up in order to tell your card to use the tv-out

Is there a way I could monitor my new Astro Turf from my PC?

I am concerned about security for my new prized possession. Perhaps a smaller real time cam window would be a good idea?
