    Well every time I have tried it it looks like crap except in video mode. Anyway does your video card have an s video out or some other output. If you don't you can upgrade for pretty cheap.

    If you have a video card that has component output or s-video and you are tying to watch movies the easiest solution is a wireless audio / video sender. I have my computer in my bedroom and the living room is about 15 feet away and my wireless send a 2.4 ghz signal to my TV reciever and it works perfectly. I bought my wireless audio /video sender from Radio Shack about two years ago for $70 but you need to make sure your video card has a TV out capability. Just a suggestion. If you need more info let me know.

    Its this program you buy in stores and it comes with some wires to plug in the computer and from there you can just watch t.v. (use you computer as a t.v)
