I was looking to hook up my computer to a TV set.  Only I don't want
to replace my existing AGP video card to do this.  I need an auxiliary
CATV  video output that hooks up to a PCI slot or USB/USB2, so I can
have the same screen on the PC Monitor and the TV at the same time.
If that doesn't exist, an S-Video-to-CATV or DVI-to-CATV (or
VGA-to-CATV as a last resort) converter would also solve my problem.
Lowest price and best quality solution is, of course, best =) Thnx.

Hi fiend,
I don't think there are any video outputs that hook up into USB.

Do you absolutely need to use your TV's CATV input to do this? If your
TV has RCA inputs and, as it seems to be the case, your AGP card has
an S-Video output, it's easier to find an S-Video-to-RCA cable, which
is quite cheap.

Best wishes,
elmarto

Hello,

Hauppage has two cards that will allow you to use a TV input and drive
either a regular monitor or a digital TV, while watching TV on the PC
as well (see towards the bottom of the page, from the bottom, card's 3
and 4)

Here's a product that will allow you to use the USB port to run a
video out:

Perhaps a video splitter attatched to the output of your computer:

Which could then connect to an RF modulator or SVGA-to-S-video for TV
output:

Would also work.

If none of these are what you're looking for, request a clarification
and I'll help find something more suitable.

You guys are the best.  Gave me info on everything I asked.  Also I
would like to thank elmarto-ga (who only posted a "Request for
Question Clarification", not an "Answer") for giving the simplest and
cheapest solution, to use an S-Video-to-RCA converter.  Thanks a
bunch.
