    Hi
    Since I upgraded my VAIO PCG-F540 from Win98 to WinXP Pro, I lost the TV out functions, especially that my original (Win98) recovery discs were stolen with the case.
    I contacted Sony and they had no clue what to do, except download the latest drivers for my laptop... but of course this did not work.
    Any ideas anyone?
    HELP.
    Thanks in advance.
    Gus.

    Hi,
    You were mentioning about some usb devices that can be used to send video to a tv . can you pls let me know. i bought a sony laptop and nowadays, they do not give TV out anymore.

    I am in Ireland and have searched various sited. there are quite a lot of gadgets for watching TV on laptops via USB, but couldnot find anything other way around.
