What do i need to buy to connect my PC to my TV? My Big screen downstairs has the same connection that a monitor would have, but its being taken by my receiver, also my TV upstairs has an HDMI input. Is there some kind of cable that would allow me to plug in my receiver and my PC into my downstairs Tv, or is there something that can allow me to plug my Pc into the HDMI plug?

Help!

What does the "TV Out" do?

A DVI>HDMI cable will work for your upstairs TV. The downstairs will either have to give up the DVI connection. The TV-Out you linked to is analog S-Video. You will be severely limited in resolution by using it.

The downstairs TV should have component input, so there may be a dongle available for your card.

What would that look like? And where would i get the cables for the DVI for my upstairs tv?

Should this work for my upstairs (HDMI tv)
