How To Connect

[the mask]

hi, i would like to know how you can connect your pc to your tv, i mean what h/w i need and software if any. i dont know if this means anything to anybody but my tower is an ez-buddie.

u want to connect to do wat? if u just want tv out, any vd card still selling today should have it. if u want to record tv programs and stuff, basically tivo on computer, get a radeon all in wonder card. those are graphx card and tv capture card in 1. or u can just buy a tv capture card

ah yes sorry, if i d/l a movie i want to be able to watch on my tv when i play it on my pc

whats ur video card? if it's somewhat new, it should have a tv out port, either svideo or rca. if not, u can always get one. not very expensive

i havent got a single idea about a video card, is there a way i can find this out from my pc, this tower i have is quite new, and then if i bought a video card what would i do with it then??

look on the back of the PC if you have TV there will probably be a small round black connector near where the vga connector (where the screen monitor plugs in)

If it is onboard you probably wont have TV Out

If you have to buy a new video card look at one of these instead there great just cut as data and away you go,perfect had one for over 6 months now.

no, there is no round black connector. those links that have been posted are showing dvd players- is that what i need??

What you would be looking for on the back of your case would be a connector like the black circle in this picture:



If you don't have such a thing then consider buying a graphics card with one.

no u dont need one he lonked to those as an alternative, you could burn your movies to a cd-r and that dvd player would play them as divx...i think
