Pick up a TV tuner card.  They're not too expensive.  Search http://newegg.com or another computer hardware store.  There are also USB TV tuners.  Look around online, you'll find something.

At the back of your laptop you will see the S-connector. You need a cable called s-connector cable. You connect that from you laptop to your TV. Then go to your desktop. Right click anywhere on your desktop. Go to properties, then settings, advance, monitor tab, click dual monitor. On your TV put it on video or dvd mode. You should be able to watch movie on your TV coming from your laptop.

OK have you right clicked on the desktop and played with the Advanced settings in the display usually that should open up the ATI software and from there you can tell it under displays usually that you are going to be using your TV....not sure how far you have gotten, but i did have this problem with my ATI in the laptop. just dont do that extend windows monitor crap.    i think you need to elaborate just a little more

You need a TV output on your video card or an adapter.

yes - either an external USB tuner, or an internal PCI tuner - OR a PCMCIA TV tuner for a laptop - or some AGP video cards in desktops have TV tuners built in - either way - you need the hardware to view video signals on your PC

you need :\n\na S-video-out port on the Sony-viao\na S-video cable\nto know what channel your TV's alternate input, a/v input, (it is likely the same channel you use to play DVD's on your TV, assuming you can and do.)\nAnd last Windows XP\n\n1. With the Laptop off, plug S-video cable in, turn on TV.\n\n2. Turn-on Laptop, when at desktop, and all programs are loaded.\n\n3. right-click on the desktop, choose 'properties', when the 'Display Properties' window opens.\n\n4. Click the 'settings' tab.  You should see 2 monitors.\nMake sure your Laptop monitor is #1 and on the left of the TV, if not, then click it and drag it to the left.\n\n5. Click the down-arrow, choose the TV monitor, Clear the check-box for 'extend my windows desktop to this monitor' if not already clear.  This will make your TV display the same thing as your laptop.\n\n6. click the down-arrow, choose the laptop monitor, check 'set as primary monitor'\n\nclick 'ok', and 'ok' again.\n\nHope this helps !

yes, they can and some of the new laptops are having them already built in. but you can also buy one called the PCTV HD Pro Stick and it comes with software that will turn your laptop into a TIVO like system or like the Windows Media Center.  Its a USB plug in...pretty cool....a bit pricy, about  $129.99 bones...... oh ya ...it comes with a remote......ya...

You need an audio patch cable, looks like this: http://www.virtualinformation.com/ebay_images/35mmmaletomalecable1lg.jpg\nto go from the audio out on your computer's sound card to audio in on your tv.

these answers that suggest of using a USB to USB Datalink Cable are in principle correct but it doesn't work because you can neither share the folders nor install the communication program on the PC for this Link Cable. did you ever try to do this blindly? .. :p\nso it might be the better solution to hook the TV set to the PC using a S-video cable, provided that the PC has an S-video output and the TV set has the corresponding input.

if you're doing this for portability (and i'm assuming you are.  there is no other good reason to hook your x-box up to your laptop), then check to see what kind of inputs your computer has.  some newer machines have VIVO (Video In/Video Out) jacks on them - usually for S-Video cables).  if you don't have one of those, you'd have to buy an add-on card.  and no, it won't look better on your laptop than it would on your TV.  just a lot smaller.

First your TV must have A/V (audio video) input.  The red and white  plugs are normally used for the audio.\nIf your computer has an audio out/speaker out with this type of \nplug  then simply connect the two and set the TV to the A/V input\nThe computer's audio will play on the TV. \n\nIf your TV only has an antenna input then you will need some type of conveter an old VRC works great.  Hook up the wires from the computer to the audio input of the VCR and take the antenna out to the TV. (You will need an RF cable - one probably came with the VCR)   Set the TV on the VCR's output channel normally 3 or 4 and the VCR's input to A/V.

Use s-video, better picture.\n\nTo hook it up, connect the s-video cable to the s-video port on your laptop. Then the cable to the s-video port on your tv.\n\nUsually you push funtion + f3 or f4 I think to allow the laptop to display on laptop screen, external moniter or both.\n\nTurn the tv channel to AV1 or whatever you plugged it into. It should work.

Awesome question by the way. Yes you can. Most of todays modern tv's have a 15 pin video connection on the back and others may have an S-Video connector, allowing you to hooked your tv up to your computer so that you can watch movies. Larry RadioShack 01-9590
