Video Card with TV out

[FrontyRaider]

I'm looking for a way to get my tv connected to my computer. I already have a TV tuner, I just need a way to get video and audio to my tv so I can watch the stuff I record. Any ideas? I don't know if this is possible but is there a video card that has a video out AND audio outs? Or am I going to have to replace the sound card as well. Thanks for the help.

my 7800gt supports it... lol im selling it if you're interested
btw ive also got the cord for s-video to RCA and S-Video to S-Video if you'd like one. RCA are the color coded cords, the white red, and in this case the yellow video cord.

S-Video is just Video, not audio.

Of course the video card isn't going to have audio on it You can get a headphone to RCA converter from Radio Shack or some place like that.

i wasnt trying to help him with the audio part... its obviously a different problem.

as for the audio you'll want something like this. unfortunately i havent ever seen anything like this, so i couldnt (personally) sell it to you.

you'll want a male stereo end with a y connection to two male RCA ends, white and red.

personally id just use my computer speakers though.

Using my computer speakers really isnt' an option. My comp and tv are in 2 different rooms, but my computer came with a small remote reciever that has a really long cord. I could put this receiver by my tv and use my computer remote from the living room. Maybe I'll check into the video card with the s-video output and use the rca-adapter. What kind of card did you say you had for sale?

Unless you plan to play games and such, I'd just get a pretty low end card. I had a 6200TC once, and it was horrible in games, but worked very well for videos and such.

So I guess one like this would do the trick?
