Is there a cable I can get to watch tv off my laptop onto my tv? Is there a serial port cable that goes to RCA jacks? Or can I only do this with a HDMI cable?

Downloaded TV or live TV?

if it's downloaded TV you can buy cheap DiVX stand alone players with HDD.

Live TV you would need a TV out card or if your notebook has it an S-Video out and S-Video in on your TV.

Damn, I have s-video on my laptop, but not on my tv. I was hoping I could use the RCA jacks on the tv....

I want to play movies on my computer and have it show on the tv.

$100 dollars buys a standalone USB Divx player. 300GB's

I Might be exagerating on price though.

Appears they are more expensive now.

Wait for Spliff to pop in and he will whip out his magic Danawa duster and show you the cheapest prices.

Just pop into your local Hi-Mart or computer store. They have loads of different cables with lots of different ends. Sure you'll find what you need. They cost about 5000 won.

you can buy an svideo - rca cable to hook your laptop up to your computer. cheap as chips (around 5-10,000 won depending on how long you need) I bought a 5 metre cable for about 7,000won on gmarket.
