    thats simple you need a S-video cable, if you have a newer grade tv, if you have an old tv then you need to by an rca s video adaptor, the difference bewteen the two is that an s-video cable goes from the labtop directly into the tv, they can be found at any place like radio-shack. or ever wal-mart. if you need the adaptor you most likey have to order it online, officesupply.com is a good website, and well even ebay can help. the adaptor has a white cord and a yellow cord that plug in to your tv if your tv doesnt have a s-video input. Hope that helps

    All you need is a TV Tuner Card. Today most of the Laptops come with a built in TV Tuner Card, check your Laptop specs.

    You'll find it in most of the computer pheripharal store.

    if your laptop has a vga out and your tv has a vga in then all you need is a vga cable.

    Else get a pinacle tv tuner it connects via usb and can do input and output via rca cables if its still being made anymore.
