Here's what one comment on Amazon said: "The other reviewers did not read the first sentence in the description. Your computer MUST have TV-Out capability for this cable to work, which is rare. You cannot simply connect this cable between your computer and TV and expect to get a signal. It's unfortunate that this product got so many 1-stars due to customers not doing their homework." So it looks like I was right. A cabling adapter will only work if the computer is already outputing s-video signal on some of the pins of the vga port. What you need is likely one of: http://www.amazon.com/AVermedia-Key-Micro-Scan-Converter/dp/B00006B7F7/ref=pd_sim_dbs_e_4 or http://www.amazon.com/TView-Micro-PC-to-TV-Scan-Converter/dp/B00006B6QS I have an older Averkey converter and use it quite frequently. It works well enough, except that s-video signal looks pretty awful, even as low as 800x600. Composite is slightly better. But whatever the case, you're essentially blurring the image down to like 500ishx400ish pixels. -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
