The Video Card that I have installed in my computer is a T1 4200 128MB
DDR TV-OUT VGA.  Serial No. PV-T25A-NTFS XFX GEFORCE 4. I encountered
a problem of not being able to view streaming movies, on my tv, cloned
with my computer. Note, I can view the movies on my pc monitor, but no
image is seen on the tv.  I have no problem viewing DVD movies on both
the monitor and my tv, at the
sametime.  But to view, for examplle, a movie from Movieflix, on the
pc monitor it'll be seen but on the tv not.  Also, note the respective
player's image is seen on the tv, but no movie seen, on them.

What resolution and color setting have you selected for your TV and
monitor?  Do they differ?  Have you already tried setting the TV to a
lower resolution?

Have you already tried downloading the latest drivers?

Hey I do not have a difinitive answer for you about your streaming ->
TV OUT question... but I have had the same problem.

I suspect that it has something to do with DRM,.. they don't want you
to be able to copy the video or anything... I believe it's the same
reason that you can't do a screen shot of anything 'copyrighted' that
you play in Media Player.  I think Media Player does something on the
video layer with stuff that is supposed to be copyrighted material
that prevents you from seeing it on your TV (or copy screen, etc).  Am
I right that you are only seeing a black box where you should see the
video image?

Try another video player instead of Microsoft Windows Media Player. 
It sucks the way these corporations screw you, doesn't it?
